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.
13
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:2ACCJN042
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.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested is 1.0 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.0 W/Kg
for use close to the body.
14
While there may be dierences 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
non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 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 “handsfree” 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 for a Class B digital device
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
15
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 to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment o 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
dierent from that to which the receiver is connected;
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV
technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a licensed radio service, they bear the following statement:
This phone complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
16
• This device may not cause harmful interference;
• This device must accept any interference re-
ceived, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Your phone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For
optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or
degrading it.
As mobile devices oer a range of functions, they
can be used in positions other than against your ear.
In such circumstances the device will be compliant
with the guidelines when used with a headset or usb
data cable.
If you are using another accessory ensure that
whatever product is used is free of any metal and
that it positions the phone at least 15 mm away from
the body.

US Information Concerning the Federal Communications Commission (“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.
20
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.
This smartphone has been tested and rated for use
with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that the smartphone uses. However, other wireless technologies may be used in this smartphone
that have not been tested for use with hearing
aids. It is important to try the dierent features of
your smartphone thoroughly and in dierent locations to determine if you hear any interfering noise
when using this smartphone 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.
21
Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone:
M4/T4.
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,
