Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
certification information
Your device conforms to Industry Canada standards that limit
human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio
and telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent
the sale of mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level
(known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 1.6 W/kg. SAR
information on this and other model devices can be accessed
online on IC’s website through ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ceb-bhst.nsf/
eng/h_tt00084.html.
In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the
device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary
to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically
emitting lower levels when possible, your device reduces your
overall exposure to RF energy.
Industry Canada has granted an IC Certification Number for
this model device based on the compliance of all reported SAR
levels with the IC RF exposure guidelines. This device has an IC
number: 649E-SMA520W [Model Number: SM-A520W] and the
specific SAR levels for this device can be found at the following
Industry Canada website: sms-sgs.ic.gc.ca/equipmentSearch/
searchRadioEquipments.
The SAR information for this device can also be found on
Samsung’s website: www.samsung.com/sar.
