Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: youraccounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must draw a pattern or enter a numeric PIN or a password each time you power on your phone.
WARNING!
Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset which erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen and may be required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
Set a lock screen pattern, PIN, or password. Charge the battery. Keep the phone connected to the charger. Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You
must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.
When you're ready to turn on encryption:
1. Touch the Home key> > Settings > Security > Encrypt
phone.
2. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.
The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your phone is not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch the Back key.
WARNING!
If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
25
Read the information about encryption carefully.
3. Draw the lock screen pattern, or enter your lock screen PIN or
password and touch NEXT.
4. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart several times.
When encryption is completed, you're prompted to draw the pattern or enter your PIN or password.
Subsequently you must draw the pattern, enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.

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 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 1.6W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using st andard opera ting positions
130
accepted by the FCC with the device tr ansmitting at its highes t certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
The FCC has grante d an Equipment Authorization f or this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guide lines. 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-Z815. For this device, the highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested was 1.06W/kg for head, 1.02W/kg for Body-worn and 1.02W/kg for hotspot.
While there ma y 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 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, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested and cert ified, and use such body-worn accessory should be avoided.

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 reasonab l e 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.
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 o thers to th is i nte rferen ce 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
133
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 i t uses. Ho wever, th ere may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use wi th 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/T4 level rating.
134
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.
