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,
back light, or other components. Your phone is compliant
with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2011). 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 in nding 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.
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.
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.)
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
nd this rating. For more information about FCC Hearing
Aid Compatibility, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/
dro.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with

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.
AVOID HIGH TEMPERATURES
Leaving the device in hot or cold places, such as in a
closed car in summer or winter conditions, reduces the
capacity and lifetime of the battery. For the best results,
try to use the device between -20°C and +55°C (-4°F
and 131°F). A device with a hot or cold battery may
not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully
charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
PERSONAL MEDICAL DEVICES
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please
avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker, for
example in your breast pocket. When using the mobile
phone, place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between
the mobile phone and the pacemaker, the risk of
interference is limited. If you suspect that interference
is taking place, immediately turn off your mobile phone.
Contact your cardiologist for more information. For
other medical devices, consult your physician and the
manufacturer of the device. Comply with instructions to
switch off the device or deactivate the RF transmitter
when required, especially when posted in hospitals
and airplanes. Equipment used in these places may be
sensitive to radio waves emitted from the device and
adversely affect their operation. Also, observe restrictions
at gas stations or other areas with ammable atmosphere
or when close to electro-explosive devices.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
7
CHILD SAFETY
Do not allow children to play with your mobile phone or
its accessories. Keep it out of their reach. They could hurt
themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the
mobile phone or accessories. Your mobile phone and
its accessories may contain small parts, which could be
detached and create a choking hazard.
EMERGENCY CALLS
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore
you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for
essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas, on all
cellular networks, or when certain network services and/
or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your
local service provider.
WARNING
It is not allowed to connect any external devices
to all ports/interface (USB, Top x-pand and side
connector) in Hazardous area.

RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
This device 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.
The exposure standard for wireless device employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/
kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
device transmitting at its highest certied power level
in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certied power level, the
actual SAR level of the device while operating can
be well below the maximum value. This is because
the device is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
• When tested for use at the ear is 1.37W/kg
• When worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 1.39 W/kg (Body-worn measurements
differ among device models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements.),
While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various devices and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this model device is on le with the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section
of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC:
WYPPG4032.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested
and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use
with an accessory that contains no metal and be
positioned a minimum of 1 cm from the body. Use of
other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC
RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the device at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 1 cm from your
body when the device is switched on.
