Do not use the device if doing so causes danger or
interference with other electronic devices.

14

Interference with medical equipment

• Follow rules and regulation s set forth by hospitals and

health care facilities. Do not use your device where
prohibited.

• Some wireless devices may affect the performance of

hearing aids or pacemakers. Consult your service
provider for more information.

• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum

distance of 15 cm be maintained between a device and
a pacemaker to prevent potential interference with the
pacemaker. If using a pacemaker, hold the device on the
side opposite the pacemaker and do not carry the device
in your front pocket.

Protecting your hearing when using a headset

• To prevent possible hearing damage, do not

listen at high volume levels for long periods.

• Using a headset at high volumes may damage your

hearing. To reduce this risk, lower the headset volume
to a safe and comfortable level.

• Exposure to high volumes while driving may cause

distraction and increase your risk of an accident.

Areas with flammables and explosives

• Do not use the device where flammables or explosives

are stored (in a gas station, oil depot, or chemical plant,
for example). Using your device in these environments
increases the risk of explosion or fire. In addition, follow
the instructions indicated in text or symbols.

21

FCC 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 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 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.

--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.

Caution: Any changes or mod ifications to this device not
expressly approved by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

22

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.
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.

23

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 M3/T3 level rating. Hearing devices
may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help you find this rating.
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.
To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for
your device is maintained, secondary transmitters such as
Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi components must be d isabled
during a call.

Compatibility please go to http://transition.fcc.gov/cgb/
