Samsung SGH-x497 Manuel D’Utilisation

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating 
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone 
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all 
tested frequency bands.  Although the SAR is determined 
at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of 
the phone while operating can be well below the 
maximum value.  This is because the phone is designed to 
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the 
power required to reach the network.  In general, the 
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the 
lower the power output.

Before a new model phone is available for sale to the 
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it 
does not exceed the exposure limit established by the 
FCC.  Tests for each model phone are performed in 
positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the 
body) as required by the FCC.  Body-worn operations are 
restricted to Samsung-supplied, approved, or non-
Samsung designated accessories that have no metal and 
must provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the 
device, including its antenna (whether extended or 
retracted) and the user's body.  Non-compliance with the 
above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF 
exposure guidelines. 

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for 
this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated 
as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
The maximum SAR values for this model phone as 
reported to the FCC are:
