For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 1.30W/kg, for
usage near the body is 0.64 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 15 mm between
the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away from your body to ensure
RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level. To support body-worn operation,
choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a
separation of 15 mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested
and certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for Mobile phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones compatible with hearing
aids and cochlear implants. Although analog wireless phones do not usually cause interference
with hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital wireless phones sometimes do because of
electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone's antenna, backlight, or other components. Your
phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2011). While 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 a rating system for wireless 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 are rated have the rating on their box or a label
located on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's
hearing device and 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.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this
phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different
features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the
manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions
about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to 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 have telecoils in them.)
Your phone meets the M4/T3 level rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you find this rating. For more information about FCC Hearing Aid
