Interference

General Statement on Interface

Care must be taken when using the phone in close
proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers
and hearing aids.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite
ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.

The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source,
increasing the separation between them may reduce the
interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Medical Devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer

15

to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with
the operation of your medical device.

Hospitals

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.

Aircraft

Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed
to do so by airport or airline staff.

Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘Airplane mode’, this
must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.

Interference in Cars

Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid
the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a
hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the
installation.

16

Explosive Environments

Petrol Stations and Explosive Atmospheres

In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone
or other radio equipment.

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling
areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

Blasting Caps and Areas

Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas posted power off “two-way radios”

or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting

operations.

FCC Compliance

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not
cause harmful interference.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved

by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

17

Note: 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

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.

Health and safety information

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

This model phone meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.

18

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 U.S.
Government:

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones 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 standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone 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 poser required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.

The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to
the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.08W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is

0.88W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements).

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

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this

19

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
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on

FCC ID: SRQ-Z820

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an
accessory that contains no metal and the positions the
handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position
the handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from your body when the
phone is switched on.

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

20

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. 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.

21

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.
