FCC 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.

During SAR testing, this de vice was set to trans mit at it s hig hest 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 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 lo wer the power output.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.

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 leve ls evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on th i s mod el ph on e is on fil e wi th the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of

www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid

SRQ-ZTEB2017G. For this device, the highest SAR value for this model phone when

tested was 1.00W/kg for head, 0.77W/kg for Body-worn and

0.97W/kg for hot spo t .

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

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a

after searching on FCC ID:

separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the hum an body. Carry this device at least 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 that do not contain metallic components to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this devic e and your body.

RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that contains metal was not tested nor certified, and using 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. T rying 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/T3 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.
