The chargers designed for your mobile device meet with the standard
for safety of information technology equipment and ofce equipment
use. Due to different applicable electrical specications, a charger you
purchased in one jurisdiction may not work in another jurisdiction. They
should be used for this purpose only.

The charger shall be installed near the device and shall be easily

Radio Waves

THIS MOBILE DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed
by independent scientic organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientic studies. These guidelines include a substantial
safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.

The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal Communications
Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6
W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions with the mobile device transmitting at
its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC
RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device 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:2ACCJH094.

23

Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level,
the actual SAR level of the mobile device 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 network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the mobile
device. Before a mobile device model is available for sale to the public,
compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown. The
highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested is 1.01 W/Kg
for use at the ear and 1.18 W/Kg for use close to the body.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
mobile devices and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the device
has been tested when positioned a minimum of 10 mm from the body
without any metal parts in the vicinity of the device or when properly
used with an appropriate accessory and worn on the body. Use of
other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://
www.phonefacts.net

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientic
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for
use of mobile devices. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to
limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of
calls, or using “hands-free” devices to keep mobile devices away from the
head and body. (fact sheet n°193). Additional WHO information about
electromagnetic elds and public health are available on the following
website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.

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 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.

24

US Information Concerning the Federal
CommunicationsCommission (“FCC”)
Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility
with Wireless Devices

When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as 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, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of
interference that they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing
device users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with
their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless
devices that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together
with other relevant approval markings.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device
successfully. Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing
the wireless device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate
it for your personal needs.

This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for
some of the wireless technologies that the smartphone uses. However,
other wireless technologies may be used in this smartphone that
have not been tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try
the different features of your smartphone thoroughly and in different
locations to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this
smartphone with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult your
wireless service provider about its return and exchange policies, and for
information about hearing aid compatibility.

Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone: M4/T3

26

How the ratings work

M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements
and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than
wireless devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the
two ratings.

T-Ratings: Wireless devices 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 wireless devices. T4 is the better
or higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have
telecoils in them.)

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. The
more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience
interference noise from wireless devices.

For more information about the actions that the FCC has taken with
regard to hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other
steps that the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities
have access to telecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
