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 phone
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the mobile
device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the mobile network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless tower, the lower the power output.
While there may be differences in the SAR levels of various mobile devices and at
various positions, they must all be tested and certified to the FCC that they meet
the government requirement before being made available for sale to the public in
the U.S.A.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this mobile phone is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of
https://www.fcc.gov/general/fcc-id-search-page after searching the above FCC ID.
Please note that modifications to this device could cause slight differences in the
SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within
guidelines. Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website at:

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless
Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report
and Order in WT Docket 01- 309 modified the exception of wireless phones
under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital
wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to
ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with
hearing disabilities. 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 find 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.
M-Ratings: Phones is M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are not rated.
C145 is rated M4.
