FOR YOUR SAFETY
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 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 0.6 inches (15 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 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 levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
18
FOR YOUR SAFETY
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-Z2332CC.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head
is 0.60 W/kg, and 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 0.6 inches (15 mm) between the unit and the human body. Carry this
device at least 0.6 inches (15 mm) away from your body to ensure RF
exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level. To support bodyworn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain
metallic components, to maintain a separation of 0.6 inches (15 mm)
between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that contains metal
was not tested and certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be
avoided.
19
FOR YOUR SAFETY
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:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Contact Consumer Cellular at (800) 686-4460.
20
FOR YOUR SAFETY
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could 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.
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
21
FOR YOUR SAFETY
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 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 Consumer Cellular Link 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
