Radio waves ................................................

THIS PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your 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. 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. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin
designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for phones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public
authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US
Government (FCC), or by Innovation, Science and Economic Development
Canada (ISEDC), is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands.

This device is complied with SAR for general population / uncontrolled
exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance
with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/
oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:2ACCJN030

Although the 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. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as 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 of the phone. Before a phone model is available
for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards
must be shown.

4 5

The highest SAR value for this model phone when
the ear and 1.32 W/Kg for use close to the body.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF
exposure.

For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines
provided that it is used with a
15 mm

from the body.

Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:
http://www.ctia.org/

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for
use of phones. If individuals are concerned, they may choose to limit
their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or
using “hands-free” devices to keep phones away from the head and body.
Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health
are available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

Hearing Aid Compatibility

FCC Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices
When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as 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, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference
that they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing
device users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with their
hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices
that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together with other
relevant approval markings.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device
successfully.

Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless
device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.

8 9

This device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some
of the wireless technologies that the device uses. However, other wireless
technologies may be used in this device that have not been tested for
use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of your
device thoroughly and in different locations to determine if you hear any
interfering noise when using this device with your hearing aid or cochlear
implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and
exchange policies, and for information about hearing aid compatibility.

Your 4051S device is M4/T4 compatible. Reference ANSI C63.19- 2011.

How the ratings work

M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless
devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.

T-Ratings: Wireless devices 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 wireless devices. T4 is the better or
higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils
in them.)

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of
interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The
more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience
interference noise from wireless devices.

For more information about the actions that the FCC has taken with regard
to hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that the
FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to
telecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
