Emergency Call

You can use your device for emergency calls in the service area. The connection,
however, cannot be guaranteed in all conditions. You should not rely solely on the
device for essential communications.

Certification Information (SAR)

This device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. As recommended by
international guidelines, the device is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to
radio waves. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) and include safety measures designed to ensure safety for all users,
regardless of age and health.
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of
radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a device. The SAR value
is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the
actual SAR level of the device when being operated can be well below the value. This
is because the device is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the
network.
The SAR limit adopted by USA and Canada is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported to the FCC and IC for this
device type when tested for use at the ear is 1.19 W/kg, and when properly worn on
the body is 1.22 W/kg.

FCC Statement

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

18

interference will not occur in a particular installation.If this equipment does cause

Caution

Caution

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 or more of the followin g measures:

--Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

--Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

--Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

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

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.

Changes or modifications made to this device not expressly approved by
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. may void the FCC authorization to operate
this device.

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).
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (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 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 find 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.

19

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.
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.) Hearing devices may also be measured.
Your phone meets the M4/T4 level rating. Hearing devices may also be rated. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this
rating.
