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

10 Important Safety Information

effort, the industry uses a rating system for wireless
phones to help hearing device users ind phones
that may be compatible with their hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear implants). This hearing­aid compatibility (HAC) rating system is described
in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
C63.19 standard and includes the following ratings:

M-Ratings: For phones that use acoustic coupling
with hearing devices that are not operating in
telecoil mode. Phones rated M3 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 HTC Desire
626s is rated M4.

T-Ratings: For phones that use inductive coupling
with hearing devices operating in telecoil
mode. Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC HAC
requirements and are likely to be more usable
with a hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that

are not rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings. Your HTC Desire 626s is rated T4.

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
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 exchange policies, consult your
service provider or phone retailer.

The ratings are not guarantees. 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

Important Safety Information 11

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 interference noise, and phones also
vary in the amount of interference they generate.
If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated
phone successfully.

Please power off the Bluetooth function while
using hearing aid devices with your HTC Desire
626s.

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 scientiic research. According

Important Safety Information 13

to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
“the weight of scientiic evidence has not linked
cell phones with any health problems.” You can

Speciic 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 Speciic
Absorption Rate, or SAR, which refers to the
rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. The
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has
established a SAR limit for mobile phones of 1.6 W/
kg, which applies in the United States and other

14 Important Safety Information

countries that follow the FCC’s SAR limit. This limit
is based upon standards developed by expert
non-government organizations, such as the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(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, worn on the body) and transmitting
at its highest certiied power level in each
frequency band of operation. Because the device
is transmitting at its highest certiied power
level, SAR tests capture a worst-case operating
scenario and therefore often do not relect the
amount of RF exposure during normal, everyday
use. More information on SAR testing is available
on 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 certiication 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: NM80PM9200.
This device’s maximum SAR values as reported to
the FCC are:

Head: 0.38 W/kg@1g
Body: 1.08 W/kg@1g
This device was tested for typical body-worn

operations. A minimum separation distance must
be maintained between the user’s body and the
handset, including the antenna:

• 1 cm to comply with the RF exposure

requirements in the U.S.

• 1.5 cm to comply with the RF exposure

requirements in Europe.

Important Safety Information 15

Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories used by this device should not
contain any metallic components. Body-worn
accessories that do not meet these requirements
may not comply with RF exposure requirements
and should be avoided.

Reducing RF Exposure

Organizations such as the FCC have identiied the
following measures to reduce your exposure to
RF energy:

• Use speaker mode or a hands-free accessory

to minimize time spent with the wireless device
held against your head;

• Increase the distance between the wireless

device and your head and body; and

• Send texts instead of making or receiving voice

calls.
