User's Manual Part 3

Commission's (FCC) rules governing hearing aid compatibility
(HAC), for the reduction of RF interference to hearing aids. The
Microphone (M) rating is defined and labeled on the handset box.
Devices meeting HAC compliance must have a minimum M3 rating
or above as defined by the FCC in accordance with the latest ANSI
Standard C63.19-2007. The (M) rating refers to lower RF emission
levels of the handset. Some hearing aids are also provided an (M)
rating, and are more immune than others to interference. To
determine the (M) rating of your hearing aid, please contact your
hearing health professional. More information about digital
wireless devices and hearing aid compatibility can be found at

THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
The Series mobile phones have been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your
wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to
not exceed the limits* of exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by governmental authorities. These limits establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by international scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all individuals, regardless of age and
health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests
for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used
frequency bands. While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phone models, they are all designed to meet the
relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves. For more
