FCC Regulations

This mobile phone 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 undesired operation.

This mobile phone 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 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 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.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s
authority to operate the equipment.

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 1.6 W/kg, and 1.6 W/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

For Your Safety 67For Your Safety66

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: SRQ-Z830.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against
the head is 1.16 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.32 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 of 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
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.

For Your Safety 69For Your Safety68

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 more 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 M3/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.
