FCC Compliance

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not

cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause un-

desired operation.

CAUTION! Changes or modications not expressly approved by

the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the

equipment.

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 against harmful interference in a residential installa-

tion. This equipment can generate, use and radiate radio fre-

quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with

26

the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com-

munications. However, there is no guarantee that interference

will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does

cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which

can be determined by turning the equipment off 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 different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for

help.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

This model phone meets the government’s requirements for ex-

posure to radio waves.

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 U.S. Govern-

ment:

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a

unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or

SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. *Tests for SAR

27

are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by

the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certied power

level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is deter-

mined at the highest certied 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 mul-

tiple 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 highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the

FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.12 W/kg, when worn on

the body as described in this user guide is 1.45 W/kg (body-worn

measurements differ among phone models, depending upon

available enhancements and FCC requirements), and during si-

multaneous transmission (for example, making a phone call and

using Wi-Fi at the same time) is 1.58 W/kg.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of vari-

ous phones and at various positions, they all meet the govern-

ment requirement.

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 le with the FCC and can be found under the

Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after

28

searching on

FCC ID: Q78-ZTEN9120.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets

the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that

contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.5

cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure

compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use

a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear,

position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when

the phone is turned on.

HAC

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Mo-

bile Phones

In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless tele-

phones compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Al-

though 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).

While some wireless phones are being used near some hearing

29

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 rat-

ing 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 de-

vice is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

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 de-

vices have telecoils in them.)

Your phone meets the M4/T3 level rating.

30

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manu-

facturer or hearing health professional may help you nd this rat-

ing.

For more information about FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility,

please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

Turn on HAC

Touch the Home Key > > Settings > Call, and then check

Hearing aids to turn the hearing aid compatibility on.

When the HAC setting is on, your phone sends the audio from

your phone calls to the telecoil rather than to the microphone

of your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls much better be-

cause volume is increased and background noise and feedback

are diminished. The HAC setting improves only the calls you lis-

ten to through the earpiece. It does not affect calls heard on the

speakerphone or a headset. It’s better to turn off the Bluetooth

function when the HAC setting is on. HAC requires extra battery

power, so watch your battery consumption when it’s turned on.

NOTE: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing

aid with a telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid or with

a hearing aid without a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing.

31

Distraction
