RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This phone 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 United States, Industry Canada of Canada.

During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF
exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and near the body with the
separation of 0.4 inches (10 mm). Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device 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.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is

1.6W/kg, and 1.6W/kg by Industry Canada.
This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure

limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and Canada RSS 102, and had been tested in
accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET
Bulletin 65 Supplement C, and Canada RSS 102. This device has been tested, and
meets the FCC, IC RF exposure guidelines when tested with the device directly
contacted to the body.

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: Q78-Z998.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is

1.25 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.46 W/kg.

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

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 0.4
inches (10 mm) between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least

0.4 inches (10 mm) away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or
lower to the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips
or holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation
of 0.4 inches (10 mm) between this device and your body.

RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal,
was not tested and certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be
avoided.

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- 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 finding 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

64 For Your Safety

65For Your Safety

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 find this rating. For more information about FCC
Hearing Aid Compatibility, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
