(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on
this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/
oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID: SRQ-Z793C.
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an
accessory that contains no metal and positions the handset a minimum of 0.4 inches (10 mm) from the body.
Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a
body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 0.4 inches
(10 mm) from your body when the phone is switched on.
FCC Compliance
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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 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. These ratings are not guaranteed. 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.
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 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.)
Your Z793C has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M4/T4 rating.
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.

other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications
services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
Distraction
Driving Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident. Using a phone
while driving (even with a hands free kit) can cause distraction and lead to an accident. You must comply with
local laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Operating Machinery
Full attention must be given to operating machinery in order to reduce the risk of an accident.
Product Handling

Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.
• Always treat your phone and its accessories with care and keep it in a clean and dustfree place.
• Keep the screen and camera lens clean. Unclean screen or camera lens may slow down the phone’s reaction
to your operations or lower image quality.
• Clean the device and its accessories with a soft material such as cleaning cloth for eyeglass lenses. Do not
use alcohol or other corrosive substances for cleaning or allow them to get inside.
• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to open flames or lit tobacco products.
• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to liquid, moisture or high humidity.
• Do not drop, throw or try to bend your phone or its accessories.
