Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate) This model phone meets the Government's
requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These
FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by
scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and
academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the
biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is a
measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body
expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless
phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The
FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. Because the phone is designed to operate at

multiple power levels to use only the power required to reach the network, in
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model.
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.
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.
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. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the
number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or
maximum SAR for a particular 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.

For Your Safety
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 to 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 labeled. M4 is the better/
higher of the two ratings.
.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. T4 is the better/ higher
of the two ratings.

For Your Safety
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 best use. In the 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’s acceptable for normal operation.
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. When you’re talking on a cell phone, it’s recommended that you turn the BT
(Bluetooth) or WLAN mode off for HAC.
