Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement
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 harmf ul interfere nce in a residential installation. This
equipment generates uses and can radiate rad io frequency energy
and, if not insta lled 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 off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between t he equipme nt and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differe nt from
that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television
technician for help.
FCC Caution
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate this eq uipment.
This device 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.
Operation in the 5 GHz Band
Operation on the 5.15-5.25 GHz frequency band is restricted to
indoor use only. The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-5.25 GHz
band to reduce the potential for harmful interference to
co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems. Therefore, it will only transmit
on the 5.25-5.35 GHz, 5.47-5.75 GH z and 5.725-5.825 GHz band
when using o utdoors.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for
Wireless Devices
The FCC has adopted rules to ensure reasonable access to
telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.
As part of this effort, the industry uses a rating system for wireless
phones to help hearing device users find phones that may be
compatible with their hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear
implants). This hearing-aid compat ibility (HAC) rating system is
described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
C63.19 standard and includes the following ratings:
M-Ratings:
For phones t hat use acoustic coupling with hearing
devices that are not operating in telecoil mode.
or M4 meet FCC HAC requirements and are likely to generate less
radio frequency interference with hearing devices than phones
with lower ratings. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your

is rated M3.
T-Ratings:
For phones t hat use inductive coupling with hearing
devices operating in telecoil mode.
FCC HAC requirements and are likely to be more usab le with a
hearing aid’s te lecoil than phones t hat are not rated. T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings. Your
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for
some of the wireless tec hnologies 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 different features of this phone thoroughly and in different
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 exc hange
policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
The ratings are not guara ntees. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs. Results will vary depending on a user’s hearing device and
hearing loss. For example, if some wireless phones are used near
some hearing devices, users may detect a buzzing, humming, or
whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others
to this interfere nce noise, and phones also vary in the am ount of
interference they generate. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your wireless device has an internal antenna that emits radio
frequency (RF) energy. Human exposure to RF energy has been
and continues to be the subject of scientific research. According to
the U.S. Food and Drug Administrat ion (FDA), “the weight of
scientific evide nce has not linked cell phones with any health
problems.” You can access this FDA publication and ot her

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Testing
Your device has been designed to comply with applicable limits for
RF exposure. These limits use a unit of measurement called
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR, which refers to the rate at which
0P6B170
.
Safety and regulatory guide 11
the body absorbs RF energy. The Federal Communicat ions
Commission (FCC) has established a SAR limit for mob ile phones
of 1.6 W/kg, which applies in the United States and other countries
that follow the FCC’s SAR limit. This limit is based upon standards
developed by expert non-government organizations, s uch as the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer s (IEEE) and the
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP), and input from other federal agencies such as the FDA
and EPA. In countries that follow the Council of the European
Union, the SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg.
SAR testing is conducted with the device placed in common
operating positions (e.g., held against the head, wor n on the body)
and transmitting at its highest cert ified power level in each
frequency band of operation. Beca use the device is transmitting at
its highest certified power level, SAR tests capture a worst-case
operating scenario and therefore often do not reflect t he amount
of RF exposure during normal, everyday use. More information on
SAR testing is available o n the FCC’s website at
http://www.fcc.gov/guides/wireless-devices-and-health-concerns
HTC Corp. submitted SAR test results demonstrating compliance
with the FCC’s SAR limit for wireless devices as part of the FCC’s
equipment certification process for this device. These results can
be accessed via the FCC’s equipment authorization database
(found at http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/) by searching for
the device’s FCC ID:
values as reported to the FCC are:
Head: 0.94 W/kg@1g
Body-worn Accessory: 0.83 W/kg@1g
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for compliance with applicable SAR limits
during typical body-worn operations. To ensure that R F exposure
levels remain at or below the tested levels, use a belt-c lip, holster,
or similar accessory that maintains a minimum separation distance
of 1.0 cm between your body and t he device, with either the front
or back of the device fac ing towards your body. Such accessories
should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn
accessories that do not meet these specifications may not ensure
compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use s hould be
avoided.
