must be maintained between the user's body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt clips, holsters,
and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) separation distance between the user's
body and the 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 0.41 W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this user’s manual, is 1.29 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: R38YLCP3321AT.
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. 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
This device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids, with some of the wireless technologies
that it uses. However, there may be newer wireless technologies used in the device that have not been
tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features on your device thoroughly
and in different locations whilst using a hearing aid or cochlear implant to determine if there is any
interfering noise.
The FCC has adopted HAC rules for digital wireless phones. These rules require certain devices to be
tested and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2011 hearing aid
compatibility standards. The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
● M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labelled. M4 is the better/higher
of the two ratings.
● T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to work better with a
hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/
higher of the two ratings. (Note not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
