Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
Safety and regulatory guide 9
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television
technician for help.
FCC Caution
: Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for
Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01- 309 modified the
exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility
Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be
compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to
ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for
persons with hearing disabilities. While some wireless 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 a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing
device users find 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 located 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 rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings.
PL01200
is rated M4.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4meet FCC 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
10 Safety and regulatory guide
PL01200
is rated T4.
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid
devices with your
PL01200
.
Hearing devices may also be rated.
Your hearing device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help
you find this rating. Higher ratings
mean that the hearing device is
relatively immune to interference
noise.
The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added
together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A
sum of 6 is considered for better use. A sum of 8is considered for
best use. In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level
rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of
the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user
with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the
particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined
as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.
This methodology applies equally for T ratings. The M mark is
intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is
intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks
are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications
Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in
Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement
procedure are described in the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This Transmitter has been demonstrated co-location compliance
requirements with Bluetooth and WLAN.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits
set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To
comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 1 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and
the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,
and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any
metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet
these requirements may not comply with RF exposure
requirements and should be avoided.
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 minor burn may result. Please contact
your local dealer for replacement antenna.
WEEE notice
The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), which entered into force as European law on 13th
February 2003, resulted in a major change in the treatment of
electrical equipment at end-of-life.
The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of
WEEE, and in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other
forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce disposal.
The WEEE logo (shown at the left) on the product or
on its box indicates that this product must not be
disposed of or dumped with your other household
waste. You are liable to dispose of all your electronic
or electrical waste equipment by relocating over to
the specified collection point for recycling of such
hazardous waste. Isolated collection and proper
recovery of your electronic and electrical waste
equipment at the time of disposal will allow us to help
conserving natural resources. Moreover, proper
12 Safety and regulatory guide
recycling of the electronic and electrical waste
equipment will ensure safety of human health and
environment. For more information about electronic
and electrical waste equipment disposal, recovery,
and collection points, please contact your local city
center, household waste disposal service, shop from
where you purchased the equipment, or
manufacturer of the equipment.
