17Regulatory Information
FCC RF exposure information
This product meets the government’s requirements for exposure to
radio waves. This product is a radio transmitter and receiver.
This product 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 guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organization through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless handsets 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.
The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this product can be found under Basic
Guide of
http://pc-dl.panasonic.co.jp/itn/manual/menu_en.html
For body-worn operation, this product has been tested and meets
FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Panasonic accessory
designated for this product and when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the mobile device a minimum of
5 mm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF

use
High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to
5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can
cause interference with and/or damage this product.
Do not use in the vicinity of these high power radar systems.
Using hearing aids with mobile devices
When some wireless mobile devices 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 mobile devices
also vary in the amount of interference they generate. In the event of
interference you may want to consult your hearing aid supplier to
discuss solutions.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of
their mobile devices, to assist hearing device users in finding mobile
devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all
mobile devices have been rated. Mobile devices that are rated have
the rating on their box or 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
mobile device successfully. Trying out the mobile device with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Mobile devices rated M3 or M4 are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than mobile devices that are not
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 are likely to be more usable
with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T-Coil Switch” or “Telephone Switch”)
than unrated mobile devices. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
(Note that the hearing aid telecoil must be activated in order for it to
function, and that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of
interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The

19Regulatory Information
more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to
experience interference noise from mobile devices.
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
Hearing aid compatibility
This mobile device 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 mobile
device that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is
important to try the different features of this mobile device 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 mobile device for information on
hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or
exchange policies, consult your service provider or mobile retailer.
