54 Regulatory and safety information
human proximity to the antenna should be minimized. No metallic body accessories are
allowed and 1.5 cm spacing between this device and the body must be maintained to
satisfy RF Exposure. This device has been tested and demonstrated compliance when
Bluetooth, WLAN, and mobile device are transmitting simultaneously. The highest FCC SAR
value for this device when tested for use at the head is 0.597 W/kg and when tested for use
at the body is 1.12 W/kg. This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
Body-worn operation: Important safety information regarding radio frequency (RF) radiation
exposure: To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the smartphone must be used
with a minimum of 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) separation from the body. Failure to observe these
instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields: For individuals concerned about limiting
their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following
advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might
choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or
using “hands-free” devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Functionality for People Who Use
Hearing Aids
This device supports the Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) functionality, which helps people
who use hearing aids to hear audio output. When this feature is enabled, the device
transmits magnetic signals in addition to audio signals. These magnetic signals allow
people using hearing aids to hear the audio signals better.
NOTE You need to ensure that your hearing aid is HAC-compatible. You also need to ensure
that your handsfree or headphones used, if any, are HAC-compatible.
Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones
When some mobile 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 ratings for some of their mobile phones, to
assist hearing device users in finding 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 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 it for your personal needs.
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 be more usable
with a hearing device's telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4
is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note 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 more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to
experience interference noise from mobile phones.
This device complies with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements and it has
M3/T4 rating.
