Health and Safety Information

General Safety Information

FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission of the United States.

During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest

certied power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in

positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head
with no separation, and near the body with the separation of
10 mm (0.4 in.). Although the SAR is determined at the highest

certied power level, the actual SAR level of the device 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 antenna, the lower
the power output.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of

measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR.

The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions

accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest

certied power level in all tested frequency bands.

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 le with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid aer

searching on FCC ID: SRQ-Z971.

120 FOR YOUR SAFETY 121FOR YOUR SAFETY

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against
the head is 0.87 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.14 W/kg.

While there may be dierences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 10 mm (0.4 in.) between the unit and the
human body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your
body to ensure RF exposure level compliant with or lower than
the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose
belt clips or holsters that do not contain metallic components
to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this device and
your body.

RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that
contains metal was not tested and certied, and using such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.

FCC Regulations

This mobile phone 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.

This mobile phone 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 o

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 dierent
from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

Caution: Changes or modications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority
to operate the equipment.

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

123FOR YOUR SAFETY

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 have
telecoils in them.)

Your phone meets the M3/T3 level rating.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you

nd this rating. For more information about FCC Hearing Aid

Compatibility, please go to http://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 the machinery in order
to reduce the risk of an accident.

General Statement on Handling and Use

You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any
consequences of its use.

You must always power o your phone wherever the use of

122 FOR YOUR SAFETY

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

in nding 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.

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 dierent features of this phone thoroughly
and in dierent 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 to hearing devices than
phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings.
