during peak times, there may
be too much network trac to
handle additional calls).
You are too far away from a base
station for your service provider.
Poor network link quality on the
part of your service provider.
Poor local telephone line quality.
Your service provider does not
support these features, or you
have not applied for services
that provide these features.
Move to a location where the
network signal can be properly
received.
Avoid using the phone at such
times, or try again after waiting a

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
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 device was set to transmit at its highest certied 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 certied 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 employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
This device complies with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits
in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and has been tested in accordance with the measurement
methods and procedures specied 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 le 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-Z799VL.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 0.86 W/kg,
for usage near the body is 1.18 W/kg.
While there may be dierences 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
103
Page 54
For Your Safety
For Your Safety
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 certied, and use such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
Operations in the band 5.15-5.25 GHz are restricted to indoor use only.
FCC Regulations
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
undesired operation.
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 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 o and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
104
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 ratings for some of their mobile phones to assist hearing device users in
nding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have
been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box. These ratings are not
guaranteed. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device
and the degree of your 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. It is important to
try the dierent features of this phone thoroughly and in dierent 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 with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/
higher of the two ratings.
105
Page 55
For Your Safety
For Your Safety
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
contain telecoils.)
Your Z899VL has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M4/T4 rating.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you nd results for
your hearing device.
