Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government
adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the
ear is 1.3 W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide,
is 1.05 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 for safe exposure.

The SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt clip that
provided a 20mm separation. The User’s Manual indicates that any holsters/clips
used with this device should contain no metallic components.

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

after searching on PP4RAP.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site

* 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 sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.

HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY HAC FOR WIRELESS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES

PCD’S COMMITMENT

PCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benefits of digital
wireless technologies. We are committed to providing a selection of compatible
devices for our customers who wear hearing aids.

THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M4

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 telecoil 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 Compatible for inductive coupling (telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.

HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK WITH A
PARTICULAR DIGITAL WIRELESS PHONE?

You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which works
the best with your hearing aids.

You may also want to talk with your hearing aid professional about the extent to
which your hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have wireless phone
shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating.

CONSUMER UPDATE ON WIRELESS PHONES

1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associ-
ated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones
are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF)
in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF
when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects
(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures
have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some bio-
logical effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional
research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those
studies or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
