Samsung Galaxy S III Important Information Manual page 9

SAR level of the phone while operating can
be well below the maximum reported 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 of the phone.
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 SAR 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.
For body-worn operation, this phone has
been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory
that contains no metal and that positions
the mobile device a minimum of 1.0 cm
from the body.
