Safety and regulatory guide 9 FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices The FCC has adopted rules to ensure reasonable access to 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 0P6B120 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 0P6B120 is rated T3. 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.
10 Safety and regulatory guide Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid devices with your 0P6B120.

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: U.S. Food and Drug Administration: http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/HomeBusinessandEntertainment/CellPhones/ucm116282.htm Federal Communications Commission: http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/radio-frequency-safety NIH National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences: http://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/agents/cellphones/ Health Canada: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hl-vs/iyh-vsv/prod/cell-eng.php World Health Organization: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/ IEEE Committee on Man and Radiation: http://ewh.ieee.org/soc/embs/comar/ International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection: http://www.icnirp.de/ 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
Safety and regulatory guide 11 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 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: NM80P6B120.This device’s maximum SAR values as reported to the FCC are:  Head: 0.94 W/kg@1g  Body-worn Accessory: 0.83 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
12 Safety and regulatory guide 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;  Increase the distance between the wireless device and your head and body; and  Send texts instead of making or receiving voice calls. For more information, see the FCC’s web page on Wireless Devices and Health Concerns at http://www.fcc.gov/guides/wireless-devices-and-health-concerns. FCC RF Statement  This equipment has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits for use in an uncontrolled environment, in accordance with the procedures specified by FCC rules.  This equipment has been tested and found to comply with co-location compliance requirements for built-in Bluetooth and WLAN.  This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.  Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
