Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Safety Tip: Turning Off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Reduces Radiation.

This SAR chart reveals how turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your Samsung Galaxy Note 5 can significantly reduce your exposure to radiation. Our SAR comparison chart shows that by simply turning off these transmitters, you can lower the RF radiation exposure to your head by %, and you can lower exposure to the body by %, when considering these differences between cellular-only (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth OFF) and simultaneous use exposure (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth ON), a wise way to reduce excessive phone radiation is to tap off unnecessary transmitters when not in use. Additionally, when using your phone as a hotspot, turning off Bluetooth can reduce your exposure by up to 100% according to the FCC SAR report for device number A3LSMN920I.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 SAR Levels

Comparison of SAR levels between cellular-only and simultaneous exposure
RADIATION LEVELS	CELLULAR ONLY	(% DIFF)	SIMULTANEOUS
HEAD	0.23 W/kg	%	W/kg
BODY	1.09 W/kg	%	W/kg
HOTSPOT	1.09 W/kg	100%	W/kg

The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of a mobile device measures the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body during device usage.

The SAR values for the galaxy-note5 (FCC ID A3LSMN920I) are as follows:

0.23 W/kg when held at the head with cellular transmission only
1.09 W/kg when worn on the body with cellular transmission only
1.09 W/kg when used as a Hotspot or Airplay
when used as a Hotspot simultaneously with other transmitters active.
