This device and its accessories
comply with part 15 of FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This
device and its accessories may not
cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device and its accessories
must accept any interference
received, including interference
that causes undesired operation.

Technical Details

Technical Details

The AX155 is a dual mode
phone that operates on both
(Code Division Multiple Access
CDMA) frequencies: cellular
services at 800 MHz and
(Personal Communication
Services PCS) at 1.9 GHz.

CDMA technology uses a feature
called DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum) that enables
the phone to keep
communication from being
crossed and to use one
frequency channel by multiple
users in the same specific area.
This results in a 10-fold capacity
increase when compared with
analog mode. In addition,
features such as soft / softer
handoff, hard handoff, and
dynamic RF power control
technologies combine to reduce
call interruptions.

The Cellular and PCS CDMA
networks consist of MSO (Mobile

Switching Office), BSC (Base
Station Controller), BTS (Base
Station Transmission System),
and MS (Mobile Station).

* TSB-74: Protocol between an

IS-95A system and ANSI J­STD-008

1xRTT system receives twice as
many subscribers in the wireless
section as IS-95. Its battery life
is twice as long as IS-95.

FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this

information before operating the
phone.

In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) of the United States, with its
action in Report and Order FCC
96-326, adopted an updated
safety standard for human exposure

Technical Details

to Radio Frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standard previously set by
both U.S. and international
standards bodies.

The design of this phone complies
with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.

12

Bodily Contact During
Operation

This device was tested for typical
use with the back of the phone
kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from
the body. To comply with FCC
RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of

0.6 inches (1.5 cm) must be
maintained between the user’s
body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna, whether
extended or retracted. Third­party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing
metallic components should not
be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot maintain

0.6 inches (1.5 cm) distance
between the user’s body and the
back of the phone and have not
been tested for compliance with
FCC RF exposure limits.

Vehicle-Mounted External
Antenna
(Optional, if available.)

A minimum distance of 8 inches
(20cm) must be maintained
between the user/ bystander and
the vehicle-mounted external
antenna to satisfy FCC RF
exposure requirements. For more
information about RF exposure,
visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.

Caution

Use only the supplied and
approved antenna. Use of
unauthorized antennas or
modifications could impair call
quality, damage the phone, void
your warranty and/or result in
violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a
damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with

the skin a minor burn may result.
Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.

Safety

TIA Safety Information

The following is the complete
TIA Safety Information for
wireless handheld phones.

Exposure to Radio Frequency
Signal

Your wireless handheld portable
phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When
ON, it receives and sends out
Radio Frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal
Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously
set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)

* American National Standards
Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection.

Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant
scientific literature. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers,
and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and
industry reviewed the available
body of research to develop the
ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of your phone
complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an
approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments

Safety

59

Safety

could damage the phone and
may violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the
phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your
shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most
efficiently:

Don’t touch the antenna

Safety

unnecessarily when the phone is
in use. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise
needed.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations
on the use of wireless phones in
the areas where you drive and

60

always obey them. Also, if using
your phone while driving, please
observe the following:

●

Give full attention to driving -­driving safely is your first
responsibility;

●

Use hands-free operation, if
available;

●

Pull off the road and park
before making or answering a
call if driving conditions or the
law require it.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic
equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry
Manufacturers Association

recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6) inches be
maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent
with the independent research
by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

●

Should ALWAYS keep the
phone more than six (6)
inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON;

●

Should not carry the phone in
a breast pocket;

●

Should use the ear opposite
the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for
interference;

●

Should turn the phone OFF
immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that

interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference,
you may want to consult your
service provider (or call the
customer service line to discuss
alternatives).

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this
information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in health
care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas

Safety

61

Safety

instruct you to do so. Hospitals
or health care facilities may use
equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its
representative regarding your
vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added

Safety

to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any
facility where posted notices so
require.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using
your phone while in the air.

62

Switch OFF your phone before
boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.

Potentially Explosive
Atmosphere

Turn your phone OFF when in
any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey
all signs and instructions. Sparks
in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not
always marked clearly. Potential
areas may include: fueling areas
(such as gasoline stations);

below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane
or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles
(such as grain, dust, or metal
powders); and any other area
where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an
Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great
force. DO NOT place objects,
including either installed or
portable wireless equipment, in
the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. If
in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, serious injury could
result.

FDA Consumer
Update

The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration’s Center for
Devices and Radiological Health
Consumer Update on Mobile
Phones:

1. Do wireless phones pose a
health hazard?

The available scientific evidence
does not show that any health
problems are associated with
using wireless phones. There is
no proof, however, that wireless
phones are absolutely safe.
Wireless phones emit low levels
of Radio Frequency (RF) energy
in the microwave range while
being used. They also emit very
low levels of RF when in standby
mode. Whereas high levels of RF
can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low
level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known

adverse health effects. Many
studies of low level RF exposures
have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have
suggested that some biological
effects may occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed
by additional research. In some
cases, other researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing those
studies, or in determining the
reasons for inconsistent results.

2. What is the FDA's role

concerning the safety of
wireless phones?

Under the law, the FDA does not
review the safety of radiation­emitting consumer products such
as wireless phones before they
can be sold, as it does with new
drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has
authority to take action if
wireless phones are shown to
emit Radio Frequency (RF)

Safety

69

Safety

energy at a level that is
hazardous to the user. In such a
case, the FDA could require the
manufacturers of wireless phones
to notify users of the health
hazard and to repair, replace, or
recall the phones so that the
hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific
data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, the FDA has
urged the wireless phone
industry to take a number of
steps, including the following:

Safety

●

Support needed research into
possible biological effects of
RF of the type emitted by
wireless phones;

●

Design wireless phones in a
way that minimizes any RF
exposure to the user that is
not necessary for device
function; and

●

Cooperate in providing users

70

of wireless phones with the

best possible information on
possible effects of wireless
phone use on human health.

The FDA belongs to an
interagency working group of the
federal agencies that have
responsibility for different
aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the federal
level. The following agencies
belong to this working group:

●

National Institute for
Occupational Safety and
Health

●

Environmental Protection
Agency

●

Occupational Safety and
Health Administration

●

National Telecommunications
and Information
Administration

The National Institutes of Health
participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatory
responsibilities for wireless
phones with the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC). All phones that are sold
in the United States must comply
with FCC safety guidelines that
limit RF exposure. The FCC relies
on the FDA and other health
agencies for safety questions
about wireless phones.

The FCC also regulates the base
stations that the wireless phone
networks rely upon. While these
base stations operate at higher
power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF
exposures that people get from
these base stations are typically
thousands of times lower than
those they can get from wireless
phones. Base stations are thus
not the subject of the safety
questions discussed in this
document.

3. What kinds of phones are

the subject of this update?

The term “wireless phone” refers
here to handheld wireless phones
with built-in antennas, often
called “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS”
phones. These types of wireless
phones can expose the user to
measurable Radio Frequency
(RF) energy because of the short
distance between the phone and
the user’s head.

These RF exposures are limited
by FCC safety guidelines that
were developed with the advice
of the FDA and other federal
health and safety agencies. When
the phone is located at greater
distances from the user, the
exposure to RF is drastically
lower because a person's RF
exposure decreases rapidly with
increasing distance from the
source. The so-called “cordless
phones,” which have a base unit

Safety

71

Safety

connected to the telephone
wiring in a house, typically
operate at far lower power levels,
and thus produce RF exposures
far below the FCC safety limits.

4. What are the results of the
research done already?

The research done thus far has
produced conflicting results, and
many studies have suffered from
flaws in their research methods.
Animal experiments investigating
the effects of Radio Frequency
(RF) energy exposures

Safety

characteristic of wireless phones
have yielded conflicting results
that often cannot be repeated in
other laboratories. A few animal
studies, however, have suggested
that low levels of RF could
accelerate the development of
cancer in laboratory animals.
However, many of the studies
that showed increased tumor
development used animals that

72

had been genetically engineered
or treated with cancer-causing
chemicals so as to be pre­disposed to develop cancer in
the absence of RF exposure.
Other studies exposed the
animals to RF for up to 22 hours
per day. These conditions are
not similar to the conditions
under which people use wireless
phones, so we do not know with
certainty what the results of such
studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies
have been published since
December 2000. Between them,
the studies investigated any
possible association between the
use of wireless phones and
primary brain cancer, glioma,
meningioma, or acoustic
neuroma, tumors of the brain or
salivary gland, leukemia, or other
cancers. None of the studies
demonstrated the existence of
any harmful health effects from

wireless phone RF exposures.
However, none of the studies can
answer questions about long­term exposures, since the
average period of phone use in
these studies was around three
years.

5. What research is needed to
decide whether RF exposure
from wireless phones poses a
health risk?

A combination of laboratory
studies and epidemiological
studies of people actually using
wireless phones would provide
some of the data that are
needed. Lifetime animal exposure
studies could be completed in a
few years. However, very large
numbers of animals would be
needed to provide reliable proof
of a cancer promoting effect if
one exists. Epidemiological
studies can provide data that is
directly applicable to human

populations, but ten or more
years follow-up may be needed
to provide answers about some
health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval
between the time of exposure to
a cancer-causing agent and the
time tumors develop — if they
do — may be many, many years.
The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is
hampered by difficulties in
measuring actual RF exposure
during day-to-day use of wireless
phones. Many factors affect this
measurement, such as the angle
at which the phone is held, or
which model of phone is used.

6. What is the FDA doing to

find out more about the
possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?

The FDA is working with the U.S.
National Toxicology Program and
with groups of investigators

Safety

73

Safety

around the world to ensure that
high priority animal studies are
conducted to address important
questions about the effects of
exposure to Radio Frequency
(RF) energy.

The FDA has been a leading
participant in the World Health
Organization International
Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in

1996. An influential result of this
work has been the development
of a detailed agenda of research
needs that has driven the

Safety

establishment of new research
programs around the world. The
project has also helped develop
a series of public information
documents on EMF issues.

The FDA and the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research And
Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on

74

wireless phone safety. The FDA
provides the scientific oversight,
obtaining input from experts in
government, industry, and
academic organizations. CTIA­funded research is conducted
through contracts with
independent investigators. The
initial research will include both
laboratory studies and studies of
wireless phone users. The
CRADA will also include a broad
assessment of additional
research needs in the context of
the latest research developments
around the world.

7. How can I find out how much
Radio Frequency energy
exposure I can get by using my
wireless phone?

All phones sold in the United
States must comply with Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) guidelines that limit Radio
Frequency (RF) energy exposures.

The FCC established these
guidelines in consultation with
the FDA and the other federal
health and safety agencies. The
FCC limit for RF exposure from
wireless phones is set at a
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6
W/kg). The FCC limit is
consistent with the safety
standards developed by the
Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and
the National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurement. The exposure limit
takes into consideration the
body’s ability to remove heat
from the tissues that absorb
energy from the wireless phone
and is set well below levels
known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless phones
must report the RF exposure
level for each model of phone to

the FCC. The FCC website
(

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)

gives directions for locating the
FCC identification number on
your phone so you can find your
phone’s RF exposure level in the
online listing.

8. What has the FDA done to

measure the Radio Frequency
energy coming from wireless
phones?

The Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard
for measuring the Radio
Frequency (RF) energy exposure
from wireless phones and other
wireless handsets with the
participation and leadership of
FDA scientists and engineers.
The standard, “Recommended
Practice for Determining the
Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) in the Human Body

Safety

75

Safety

Due to Wireless Communications
Devices: Experimental
Techniques”, sets forth the first
consistent test methodology for
measuring the rate at which RF is
deposited in the heads of
wireless phone users. The test
method uses a tissue-simulating
model of the human head.
Standardized SAR test
methodology is expected to
greatly improve the consistency
of measurements made at
different laboratories on the
same phone. SAR is the

Safety

measurement of the amount of
energy absorbed in tissue, either
by the whole body or a small
part of the body. It is measured
in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of
matter. This measurement is used
to determine whether a wireless
phone complies with safety
guidelines.

76

9. What steps can I take to
reduce my exposure to Radio
Frequency energy from my
wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these
products — and at this point we
do not know that there is — it is
probably very small. But if you
are concerned about avoiding
even potential risks, you can take
a few simple steps to minimize
your exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. Since
time is a key factor in how much
exposure a person receives,
reducing the amount of time
spent using a wireless phone will
reduce RF exposure. If you must
conduct extended conversations
by wireless phone every day, you
could place more distance
between your body and the
source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off

dramatically with distance. For
example, you could use a
headset and carry the wireless
phone away from your body or
use a wireless phone connected
to a remote antenna. Again, the
scientific data do not
demonstrate that wireless
phones are harmful. But if you
are concerned about the RF
exposure from these products,
you can use measures like those
described above to reduce your
RF exposure from wireless phone
use.

10. What about children using
wireless phones?

The scientific evidence does not
show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including
children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower
exposure to Radio Frequency
(RF) energy, the measures

described above would apply to
children and teenagers using
wireless phones. Reducing the
time of wireless phone use and
increasing the distance between
the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by
other national governments have
advised that children be
discouraged from using wireless
phones at all. For example, the
government in the United
Kingdom distributed leaflets
containing such a
recommendation in December

2000. They noted that no

evidence exists that using a
wireless phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless
phone use by children was
strictly precautionary; it was not
based on scientific evidence that
any health hazard exists.

Safety

Safety

11. What about wireless phone
interference with medical
equipment?

Radio Frequency (RF) energy
from wireless phones can interact
with some electronic devices. For
this reason, the FDA helped
develop a detailed test method
to measure Electro Magnetic
Interference (EMI) of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators from wireless
telephones. This test method is
now part of a standard

Safety

sponsored by the Association for
the Advancement of Medical
Instrumentation (AAMI). The
final draft, a joint effort by the
FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and many other
groups, was completed in late

2000. This standard will allow
manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from
wireless phone EMI.

78

The FDA has tested hearing aids
for interference from handheld
wireless phones and helped
develop a voluntary standard
sponsored by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and
performance requirements for
hearing aids and wireless phones
so that no interference occurs
when a person uses a
“compatible” phone and a
“compatible” hearing aid at the
same time. This standard was
approved by the IEEE in 2000.

The FDA continues to monitor
the use of wireless phones for
possible interactions with other
medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur,
the FDA will conduct testing to
assess the interference and work
to resolve the problem.

10 Driver Safety Tips

Your wireless phone gives you the
powerful ability to communicate
by voice almost anywhere,
anytime. An important
responsibility accompanies the
benefits of wireless phones, one
that every user must uphold.

When operating a car, driving is
your first responsibility. When
using your wireless phone behind
the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember
the following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless

phone and its features such as
speed dial and redial. Carefully
read your instruction manual
and learn to take advantage of
valuable features most phones
offer, including automatic
redial and memory. Also, work
to memorize the phone
keypad so you can use the
speed dial function without

Safety

79

Safety

taking your attention off the
road.

2. When available, use a hands­free device. A number of
hands-free wireless phone
accessories are readily
available today. Whether you
choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless phone
or a speaker phone accessory,
take advantage of these
devices if available to you.

3. Make sure you place your

Safety

wireless phone within easy
reach and where you can
reach it without removing
your eyes from the road. If
you get an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, if possible,
let your voicemail answer it for
you.

4. Suspend conversations during
hazardous driving conditions
or situations. Let the person

80

you are speaking with know
you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy
traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow,
and ice can be hazardous, but
so is heavy traffic. As a driver,
your first responsibility is to
pay attention to the road.

5. Don’t take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving.
If you are reading an address
book or business card, or
writing a “to-do” list while
driving a car, you are not
watching where you are going.
It is common sense. Do not
get caught in a dangerous
situation because you are
reading or writing and not
paying attention to the road
or nearby vehicles.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the
traffic; if possible, place calls

when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try
to plan your calls before you
begin your trip or attempt to
coincide your calls with times
you may be stopped at a stop
sign, red light, or otherwise
stationary. But if you need to
dial while driving, follow this
simple tip -- dial only a few
numbers, check the road and
your mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or
emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Stressful
or emotional conversations
and driving do not mix; they
are distracting and even
dangerous when you are
behind the wheel of a car.
Make people you are talking
with aware you are driving and
if necessary, suspend
conversations which have the
potential to divert your
attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to
call for help. Your wireless
phone is one of the greatest
tools you can own to protect
yourself and your family in
dangerous situations -- with
your phone at your side, help
is only three numbers away.
Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the case
of fire, traffic accident, road
hazard, or medical emergency.
Remember, it’s a free call on
your wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to
help others in emergencies.
Your wireless phone provides
you a perfect opportunity to
be a “Good Samaritan” in your
community. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or
other serious emergency
where lives are in danger, call
911 or other local emergency
number, as you would want
others to do for you.

Safety

81

Safety

10. Call roadside assistance or a
special wireless non­emergency assistance
number when necessary.
Certain situations you
encounter while driving may
require attention, but are not
urgent enough to merit a call
for emergency services. But
you can still use your
wireless phone to lend a
hand. If you see a broken­down vehicle posing no
serious hazard, a broken

Safety

traffic signal, a minor traffic
accident where no one
appears injured or a vehicle
you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or other
special non-emergency
wireless number.

The above tips are meant as
general guidelines. Before
deciding to use your mobile
device while operating a vehicle,
it is recommended that you

82

consult your applicable
jurisdiction’s local laws or other
regulations regarding such use.
Such laws or other regulations
may prohibit or otherwise
restrict the manner in which a
driver may use his or her phone
while operating a vehicle.

Consumer Information
on SAR

(Specific Absorption Rate)

This model phone meets the
government's requirements for
exposure to radio waves. Your
wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It 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 U.S. Government. These limits
are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were
developed by independent
scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure

the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for
wireless mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as the
Specific 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 specified by
the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although SAR is
determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the
maximum value. Because the
phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels 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.

Safety

83

Safety

Before a phone model is available
for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC
that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government­adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and
worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model.

The highest SAR value for this
model phone when tested for
use at the ear is 1.26 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as

Safety

described in this user guide, is

0.368W/kg (body-worn

measurements differ among
phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC
requirements). While there may
be differences between SAR
levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for
safe exposure.

84

The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone
is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display
Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID BEJLAX155.
Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org/

In the United States and Canada,

*
the SAR limit for mobile phones

used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the
public and to account for any
variations in measurements.

FCC Hearing-Aid
Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless
Devices

On July 10, 2003, the U.S.
Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Report and
Order in WT Docket 01-309
modified the exception of
wireless phones under the
Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of
1988 (HAC Act) to require
digital wireless phones be
compatible with hearing-aids.
The intent of the HAC Act is to
ensure reasonable access to
telecommunications services for
persons with hearing disabilities.

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

Safety

85

Safety

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 generate less
interference to hearing devices
than phones that are not
labeled. T4 is the better/higher
of the two ratings.

Hearing devices may also be

Safety

rated. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you find
this rating. Higher ratings mean
that the hearing device is
relatively immune to interference
noise. The hearing aid and
wireless phone rating values are
then added together. A sum of 5
is considered acceptable for
normal use. A sum of 6 is
considered for best use.

86

In the above example, if a hearing
aid meets the M2 level rating
and the wireless phone meets
the M3 level rating, the sum of
the two values equal M5. This is
synonymous for T ratings. This
should provide the hearing aid
user with “normal usage” while
using their hearing aid with the
particular wireless phone.
“Normal usage” in this context is
defined as a signal quality that is
acceptable for normal operation.

The M mark is intended to be
synonymous with the U mark.
The T mark is intended to be

synonymous with the UT mark.
The M and T marks are
recommended by the Alliance for
Telecommunications Industries
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT
marks are referenced in Section

20.19 of the FCC Rules. The
HAC rating and measurement

procedure are described in the
American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C63.19
standard.
