back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure
limits and should be avoided.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.44 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user’s manual, is 1.47 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
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. 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 this.
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 generate less interference to hearing devices
