							105CautionHealth and Safety
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) 
certification information
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative 
amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user 
of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an 
extensive testing, measuring and calculation 
process. It does not represent how much RF the 
phone emits. All phone models are tested at their 
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But 
when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be 
substantially less than the level reported to Industry 
Canada. This is because of a variety of factors 
including its proximity to a base station antenna, 
phone design and other factors. What is important 
to remember is that each phone meets strict federal 
guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a 
variation in safety. 
All phones must meet the federal standard, which 
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As 
stated above, variations in SAR values between 
different model phones do not mean variations in 
safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard 
of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the 
public. 
The highest reported SAR values for the SM-B780W 
are: 
Head : 0.64 W/kg 
Body : 0.70 W/kg 
This phone has been tested and meets RF exposure 
guidelines when used with an accessory that 
contains no metal and that positions the mobile 
device a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Organizations such as the World Health 
Organization and the US Food and Drug 
Administration have suggested that if people are 
concerned and want to reduce their exposure, 
they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the 
wireless device away from the head and body during 
use, or reduce the amount of time spent using the 
device. For more information, visit www.samsung.
com/sar and search for your device with the model 
number.
Correct disposal of batteries in 
this product
For safe disposal options of your LiIon battery, 
contact your nearest service centre.
Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In 
some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or 
business trash may be prohibited.
Caution: For safety, do not handle a damaged or 
leaking LiIon battery.
