60
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 phone
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
phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required
to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to
the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.04 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.51 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories 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
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
P46-
U683CL.
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 the positions the
handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of
other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from your body
when the phone is switched on.
HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY HAC FOR
WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS
DEVICES
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M4/T3
WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?
The Federal Communications Commission has
implemented rules and a rating system designed to
enable people who wear hearing aids to more effectively
use these wireless telecommunications devices. The
standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with
hearing aids is set forth in American National Standard
Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are two sets of
ANSI standards with ratings from one to four (four being
the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interference
making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when
using the hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating that
enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating
in the tele-coil mode thus reducing unwanted background
noise.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH WIRELESS PHONES ARE
HEARING AID COMPATIBLE?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the
wireless phone box.
A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic
coupling (microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4”
rating. A digital wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid
