8 Safety and regulatory guide
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.
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.
Operation on the 5.15-5.25 GHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use
only. The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-5.25 GHz band to reduce
the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite
Systems.
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
Safety and regulatory guide 9
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. PM63100 is rated M3.
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 PM63100 is rated T3.
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid devices
with your PM63100.
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.
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
10 Safety and regulatory guide
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.

Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with
RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.0 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.
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.
