HAC
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.
FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S.
and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with
the FCC guidelines and those international standards.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept
0.39 inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm)
must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the
phone, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Avoid
the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) distance
between the user’s body and the back of the phone and have not been
tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.

6Technical Details
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm) between
the user / bystander and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
FCC Notice and Cautions
This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device and its
accessories may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device and its
accessories must accept any interference received, including interference
that causes undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this user guide
could void your warranty for this equipment. Use only the supplied antenna.
Use of unauthorized antennas (or modifications to the antenna) could
impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or violate FCC
regulations.
Don’t use the phone with a damaged antenna. A damaged antenna could
cause a minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a replacement
antenna.
Part 15.19 statement
This device complies with part15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Part 15.21 statement
Changes or modifications that are not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Part 15.105 statement
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

Technical Details
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 you experience interference with reception (e.g.,
television), determine if this equipment is causing the harmful interference
by turning the equipment off and then back on to see if the interference is
affected. If necessary, try correcting 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.
The phone operates on Verizon’s 4G network, based on Long Term
Evolution (LTE) technology and Mobile Broadband 4G networks in the
United States*.
Now you can connect easily at high speeds to the Internet, your corporate
Intranet, and your email while you’re away from the office.
*Service not available everywhere. Visit website (verizonwireless.com/4G) for a
complete list of available areas.
*Information subject to change.
Consumer Information on SAR
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear
is 0.85 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.04 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there
may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone

8Technical Details
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission 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 ZNFVS930.
Wi-Fi Caution
This device is capable of operating in 802.11a/n mode. For 802.11a/
n devices operating in the frequency range of 5.15 - 5.25 GHz, they are
restricted for indoor operations to reduce any potential harmful interference
for Mobiles Satellite Services (MSS) in the US.
WIFI Access Points that are capable of allowing your device to operate in
802.11a/n mode(5.15 - 5.25 GHz band) are optimized for indoor use only.
If your WIFI network is capable of operating in this mode, please restrict
your WIFI use indoors to not violate federal regulations to protect Mobile
Satellite Services.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless
Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless
phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to
require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent
of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications
services for persons with hearing disabilities.
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 to 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.
