However, hearing aid compatibility ratings don’t guarantee that interference to your hearing aids won’t
happen. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and the degree of
your 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.
is 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 dierent features of this phone thoroughly
and in dierent 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.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional
may help you nd this rating. For more information about FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility, please go to

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
is device has been tested and meets applicable limits for Radio Frequency (RF) exposure.
Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. SAR limits are
1.6 Watts per kilogram (over a volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue) in countries that follow
the United States FCC limit and 2.0 W/kg (averaged over 10 grams of tissue) in countries that follow the
Council of the European Union limit. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
with the device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands.
To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free accessory or other similar option to keep this device
away from your head and body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away from your body to ensure
exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels. Choose the belt clips, holsters, or other similar
body-worn accessories which do not contain metallic components to support operation in this manner.
Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device, including its compliance with RF
exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or certied, and use such accessories should be
avoided.
e highest FCC SAR values for the device are as follows:
• 0.970W/Kg(Head)@1g
• 1.190W/Kg(Body)@1g
e FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on le with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid aer searching
on FCC ID: MSQZ016D.
