rely solely on the device for essential communications.
Certification Information (SAR)
This device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. As recommended
by international guidelines, the device is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves. These guidelines were developed by the
independent scientific organization International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and include safety measures designed to
ensure safety for all users, regardless of age and health.
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the
amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a device.
The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory
conditions, but the actual SAR level of the device when being operated can be

well below the value. This is because the device is designed to use the
minimum power required to reach the network.
The SAR limit adopted by USA and Canada is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported to the
FCC and IC for this device type when tested for use at the ear is 1.34 W/kg,
and when properly worn on the body is 1.02 W/kg.

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).
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 find 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.
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.) Hearing devices may also
be measured.
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. 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.
