phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.56 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user’s manual, is 0.75 W/kg. While there may be differences between
SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure. 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/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID. To find information that
pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID number which is
usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to
remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for your
phone, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or
maximum SAR for that phone. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)
website at http://www.ctia.org/
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
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
