RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
*
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the device 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 device while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so
as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is
0.667
W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.370
W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among device
models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
For WLAN Head SAR and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.032 W/kg for WLAN Head SAR
and 0.058 W/kg for WLAN Body SAR.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID:
H9PFR6874
.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an
accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device
FR6874 is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For additional HAC information,
including the HAC rating of this product. some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune
than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless
telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing-device users in finding
phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been
rated have a label on the box. FR6874 has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an
M3
and/or
T3
rating.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and
the degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to
use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference with hearing
devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4
meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone
Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices contain
telecoils.) The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from
your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings similar to those of phones. Ask your hearing health-care
professional for the rating of your hearing aid.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more
immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.
