FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for
Wireless Devices
The FCC has adopted rules to ensure reasonable access to
10 Safety and regulatory guide
telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.
As part of this effort, the industry uses a rating system for wireless
phones to help hearing device users find phones that may be
compatible with their hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear
implants). This hearing-aid compatibility (HAC) rating system is
described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
C63.19 standard and includes the following ratings:
M-Ratings:
For phones that use acoustic coupling with hearing
devices that are not operating in telecoil mode.
Phones rated M3
or M4 meet FCC HAC requirements and are likely to generate less
radio frequency interference with hearing devices than phones
with lower ratings. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your
0P4E230
is rated
M3
.
T-Ratings:
For phones that use inductive coupling with hearing
devices operating in telecoil mode.
Phones rated T3 or T4 meet
FCC HAC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a
hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated. T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings. Your
0P4E230
is rated
T4
.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for
some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may
be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have
not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try
the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different
locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine
if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or
the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange
policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
The ratings are not guarantees. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs. Results will vary depending on a user’s hearing device and
hearing loss. For example, if some wireless phones are used near
some hearing devices, 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. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated
phone successfully.
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid
devices with your
0P4E230
.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your wireless device has an internal antenna that emits radio
frequency (RF) energy. Human exposure to RF energy has been
and continues to be the subject of scientific research. According to
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), “the weight of
scientific evidence has not linked cell phones with any health
problems.” You can access this FDA publication and other
information on human exposure to RF energy at:

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Testing
Your device has been designed to comply with applicable limits for
RF exposure. These limits use a unit of measurement called
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR, which refers to the rate at which
the body absorbs RF energy. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has established a SAR limit for mobile phones
of 1.6 W/kg, which applies in the United States and other countries
that follow the FCC’s SAR limit. This limit is based upon standards
12 Safety and regulatory guide
developed by expert non-government organizations, such as the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP), and input from other federal agencies such as the FDA
and EPA. In countries that follow the Council of the European
Union, the SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg.
SAR testing is conducted with the device placed in common
operating positions (e.g., held against the head, worn on the body)
and transmitting at its highest certified power level in each
frequency band of operation. Because the device is transmitting at
its highest certified power level, SAR tests capture a worst-case
operating scenario and therefore often do not reflect the amount
of RF exposure during normal, everyday use. More information on
SAR testing is available on the FCC’s website at
http://www.fcc.gov/guides/wireless-devices-and-health-concerns
.
HTC Corp. submitted SAR test results demonstrating compliance
with the FCC’s SAR limit for wireless devices as part of the FCC’s
equipment certification process for this device. These results can
be accessed via the FCC’s equipment authorization database
(found at http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/) by searching for
the device’s FCC ID:
NM80P4E230.
This device’s maximum SAR
values as reported to the FCC are:
Head: 0.77 W/kg@1g
Body-worn Accessory: 1.19 W/kg@1g
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for compliance with applicable SAR limits
during typical body-worn operations. To ensure that RF exposure
levels remain at or below the tested levels, use a belt-clip, holster,
or similar accessory that maintains a minimum separation distance
of 1.0 cm between your body and the device, with either the front
or back of the device facing towards your body. Such accessories
should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn
accessories that do not meet these specifications may not ensure
compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use should be
avoided.
Reducing RF Exposure
Organizations such as the FCC have identified the following
measures to reduce your exposure to RF energy:
Use speaker mode or a hands-free accessory to minimize time
spent with the wireless device held against your head;
Safety and regulatory guide 13
Increase the distance between the wireless device and your
head and body; and
Send texts instead of making or receiving voice calls.
