CDMA technology uses a feature called
DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum)
that enables the phone to keep
communication from being crossed and to
use one frequency channel by multiple users
in the same specific area. This results in a 10fold capacity increase when compared with
analog mode. In addition, features such as
soft / softer handoff, hard handoff, and
dynamic RF power control technologies
combine to reduce call interruptions.
The PCS CDMA Networks consist of MSO
(Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base
Station Controller), BTS (Base Station
Transmission System), and MS (Mobile
Station).
* TSB-74: Protocol between an IS-95A system
and ANSI J-STD-008
1xRTT system receives twice as many
subscribers in the wireless section as IS-95.
Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95. Highspeed data transmission is also possible.
The following table lists some major CDMA
standards.

FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information before
operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States, with its action in Report and
Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated
safety standard for human exposure to
Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies. The design
of this phone complies with the FCC
guidelines and these international
standards.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements,
keep 8 inches (20 cm) between the user /
bystander and the vehicle-mounted
external antenna. For more information
about RF exposure, visit the FCC website
at www.fcc.gov.

Te c h n i c a l D eta i l s

Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with
the back of the phone kept 0.79 inches
(2.0 cm) from the body. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.79 inches (2.0
cm) must be maintained between the user’s
body and the back of the phone, including
the antenna, whether extended or
retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,
and similar accessories containing metallic
components should not be used. Avoid the
use of accessories that cannot maintain
0.79 inches (2.0 cm) distance between the
user’s body and the back of the phone and
have not been tested for compliance with
FCC RF exposure limits.

Technical Details

Te c h n i c a l D eta i l s

Safety
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety
Information for wireless handheld phones.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a
low power radio transmitter and receiver.
When ON, it receives and sends out Radio
Frequency (RF) signals.

S a f ety

In August, 1996, the Federal
Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety
levels for handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)

* American National Standards Institute;
National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection.

Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic evaluations of
the relevant scientific literature. For
example, over 120 scientists, engineers,
and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry
reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with
the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.

Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as
you would any other telephone with the
antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily
when the phone is in use. Contact with the
antenna affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power
level than otherwise needed.

Driving

●

●
●

Give full attention to driving -- driving
safely is your first responsibility.

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6) inches be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.

Persons with pacemakers
●

Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions
or the law require it.

Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from RF signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded

●

S a f ety

Check the laws and regulations on the use
of wireless phones in the areas where you
drive and always obey them. Also, if using
your phone while driving, please observe
the following:

against the RF signals from your wireless
phone.

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more
than six (6) inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON
Should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket
Should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference
Should turn the phone OFF immediately

Safety
if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place

Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult
(or call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives).

Other Medical Devices

S a f ety

If you use any other personal medical
device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.

Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may use
equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.

Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also
consult the manufacturer of any equipment
that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where
posted notices so require.

Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone
while in the air. Switch OFF your phone
before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn your phone OFF when in a
“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off
two-way radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

Turn your phone OFF when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks
in such areas could cause an explosion or
fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

An air bag inflates with great force. DO
NOT place objects, including either
installed or portable wireless equipment, in
the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

S a f ety

Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not always
marked clearly. Potential areas may include:
fueling areas (such as gasoline stations);
below deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane
or butane); areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust,
or metal powders); and any other area
where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.

Safety
Safety Information
Please read and observe the following
information for safe and proper use of your
phone and to prevent damage. Also, keep
the user guide in an accessible place at all
times after reading it.

C a u t i o n! Violation of the

instructions may cause minor or serious
damage to the product.

information
Avoiding hearing damage

Permanent hearing loss may occur if you
use your phone and/or headset at a high
volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You
can adapt over time to a higher volume of
sound that may sound normal but can be
damaging to your hearing. If you
experience ringing in your ears or muffled
speech, stop listening and have your
hearing checked. The louder the volume,
the less time is required before your
hearing could be affected. Hearing experts
suggest that to protect your hearing:
●

Limit the amount of time you use your
phone and/or headset at high volume.
Avoid turning up the volume to block
out noisy surroundings.
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear
people speaking near you.

For information about how to set a
maximum volume limit on your phone, see
the features guide for your phone.

Using your phone safely
Use of your phone while operating a
vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in
some areas. Be careful and attentive while
driving. Stop using your phone if you find
it disruptive or distracting while operating
any type of vehicle or performing any
other activity that requires your full
attention.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s
Center for Devices and Radiological Health
Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:

1. Do wireless phones pose a health
hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not
show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones.
There is no proof, however, that wireless
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency
(RF) energy in the microwave range while
being used. They also emit very low levels
of RF when in standby mode. Whereas high
levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low level RF
that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects.
Many studies of low level RF exposures
have not found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects may occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. In some cases, other

researchers have had difficulty in
reproducing those studies, or in
determining the reasons for inconsistent
results.

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the
safety of wireless phones?

S a f ety

Under the law, the FDA does not review the
safety of radiation-emitting consumer
products such as wireless phones before
they can be sold, as it does with new drugs
or medical devices. However, the agency
has authority to take action if wireless
phones are shown to emit Radio Frequency
(RF) energy at a level that is hazardous to
the user. In such a case, the FDA could
require the manufacturers of wireless
phones to notify users of the health hazard
and to repair, replace, or recall the phones
so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not
justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has
urged the wireless phone industry to take a
number of steps, including the following:
●

Support needed research into possible
biological effects of the type of RF
emitted by wireless phones;

●

Design wireless phones in a way that
minimizes any RF exposure to the user
that is not necessary for device
function; and
Cooperate in providing users of wireless
phones with the best possible
information on possible effects of
wireless phone use on human health.

The FDA belongs to an interagency
working group of the federal agencies that
have responsibility for different aspects of
RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at
the federal level. The following agencies
belong to this working group:
●

●
●

●

National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
National Telecommunications and
Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health
participates in some interagency working
group activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities
for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All
phones that are sold in the United States
must comply with FCC safety guidelines
that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies on
the FDA and other health agencies for
safety questions about wireless phones.

3. What kinds of phones are the subject
of this update?

The term “wireless phone” refers here to
handheld wireless phones with built-in
antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”, or
“PCS” phones. These types of wireless
phones can expose the user to measurable
Radio Frequency (RF) energy because of

These RF exposures are limited by FCC
safety guidelines that were developed with
the advice of the FDA and other federal
health and safety agencies. When the
phone is located at greater distances from
the user, the exposure to RF is drastically
lower because a person's RF exposure
decreases rapidly with increasing distance
from the source. The so-called “cordless
phones,” which have a base unit connected
to the telephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower power levels,
and thus produce RF exposures far below
the FCC safety limits.

4. What are the results of the research
done already?

The research done thus far has produced
conflicting results, and many studies have
suffered from flaws in their research
methods. Animal experiments investigating
the effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy
exposures characteristic of wireless phones
have yielded conflicting results that often
cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A

S a f ety

The FCC also regulates the base stations
that the wireless phone networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at
higher power than do the wireless phones
themselves, the RF exposures that people
get from these base stations are typically
thousands of times lower than those they
can get from wireless phones. Base stations
are thus not the subject of the safety
questions discussed in this document.

the short distance between the phone and
the user’s head.

Safety

S a f ety

few animal studies, however, have
suggested that low levels of RF could
accelerate the development of cancer in
laboratory animals. However, many of the
studies that showed increased tumor
development used animals that had been
genetically engineered or treated with
cancer-causing chemicals so as to be predisposed to develop cancer in the absence
of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the
animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day.
These conditions are not similar to the
conditions under which people use wireless
phones, so we do not know with certainty
what the results of such studies mean for
human health. Three large epidemiology
studies have been published since
December 2000. Between them, the
studies investigated any possible
association between the use of wireless
phones and primary brain cancer, glioma,
meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors
of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or
other cancers. None of the studies
demonstrated the existence of any harmful
health effects from wireless phone RF
exposures. However, none of the studies

can answer questions about long-term
exposures, since the average period of
phone use in these studies was around
three years.

5. What research is needed to decide
whether RF exposure from wireless
phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and
epidemiological studies of people actually
using wireless phones would provide some
of the data that are needed. Lifetime
animal exposure studies could be
completed in a few years. However, very
large numbers of animals would be needed
to provide reliable proof of a cancer
promoting effect if one exists.
Epidemiological studies can provide data
that is directly applicable to human
populations, but ten or more years followup may be needed to provide answers
about some health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval between the
time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent
and the time tumors develop — if they do
— may be many, many years. The
interpretation of epidemiological studies is

hampered by difficulties in measuring
actual RF exposure during day-to-day use
of wireless phones. Many factors affect this
measurement, such as the angle at which
the phone is held, or which model of
phone is used.

6. What is the FDA doing to find out
more about the possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?

The FDA has been a leading participant in
the World Health Organization
International Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in 1996. An
influential result of this work has been the
development of a detailed agenda of
research needs that has driven the
establishment of new research programs
around the world. The project has also
helped develop a series of public

The FDA and the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research
And Development Agreement (CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safety. The
FDA provides the scientific oversight,
obtaining input from experts in
government, industry, and academic
organizations. CTIA-funded research is
conducted through contracts with
independent investigators. The initial
research will include both laboratory
studies and studies of wireless phone
users. The CRADA will also include a broad
assessment of additional research needs in
the context of the latest research
developments around the world.

7. How can I find out how much Radio
Frequency energy exposure I can get by
using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must
comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit
Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposures.
The FCC established these guidelines in

Safety

S a f ety

consultation with the FDA and the other
federal health and safety agencies. The FCC
limit for RF exposure from wireless phones
is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The
FCC limit is consistent with the safety
standards developed by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE)
and the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement. The exposure
limit takes into consideration the body’s
ability to remove heat from the tissues that
absorb energy from the wireless phone and
is set well below levels known to have
effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones
must report the RF exposure level for each
model of phone to the FCC. The FCC
website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)
gives directions for locating the FCC
identification number on your phone so
you can find your phone’s RF exposure level
in the online listing.

8. What has the FDA done to measure
the Radio Frequency energy coming from
wireless phones?

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic

Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical
standard for measuring the Radio
Frequency (RF) energy exposure from
wireless phones and other wireless phones
with the participation and leadership of
FDA scientists and engineers. The
standard, “Recommended Practice for
Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body
Due to Wireless Communications Devices:
Experimental Techniques”, sets forth the
first consistent test methodology for
measuring the rate at which RF is
deposited in the heads of wireless phone
users. The test method uses a tissuesimulating model of the human head.
Standardized SAR test methodology is
expected to greatly improve the
consistency of measurements made at
different laboratories on the same phone.
SAR is the measurement of the amount of
energy absorbed in tissue, either by the
whole body or a small part of the body. It
is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of
matter. This measurement is used to
determine whether a wireless phone
complies with safety guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to Radio Frequency energy
from my wireless phone?

10. What about children using wireless
phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless phones,
including children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower exposure to
Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures
described before would apply to children
and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the time of wireless phone use
and increasing the distance between the
user and the RF source will reduce RF
exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be
discouraged from using wireless phones at
all. For example, the government in the
United Kingdom distributed leaflets
containing such a recommendation in
December 2000. They noted that no
evidence exists that using a wireless phone
causes brain tumors or other ill effects.
Their recommendation to limit wireless
phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on

If there is a risk from these products —
and at this point we do not know that
there is — it is probably very small. But if
you are concerned about avoiding even
potential risks, you can take a few simple
steps to minimize your exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a key
factor in how much exposure a person
receives, reducing the amount of time
spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF
exposure. If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone every day,
you could place more distance between
your body and the source of the RF, since
the exposure level drops off dramatically
with distance. For example, you could use a
headset and carry the wireless phone away
from your body or use a wireless phone
connected to a remote antenna. Again, the
scientific data do not demonstrate that
wireless phones are harmful. But if you are
concerned about the RF exposure from
these products, you can use measures like
those described above to reduce your RF

exposure from wireless phone use.

Safety
scientific evidence that any health hazard
exists.

11. What about wireless phone
interference with medical equipment?

S a f ety

Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless
phones can interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, the FDA helped
develop a detailed test method to measure
Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) of
implanted cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators from wireless telephones. This
test method is now part of a standard
sponsored by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the
FDA, medical device manufacturers, and
many other groups, was completed in late
2000. This standard will allow
manufacturers to ensure that cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from
wireless phone EMI.
The FDA has tested hearing aids for
interference from handheld wireless phones
and helped develop a voluntary standard
sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard

specifies test methods and performance
requirements for hearing aids and wireless
phones so that no interference occurs
when a person uses a “compatible” phone
and a “compatible” hearing aid at the same
time. This standard was approved by the
IEEE in 2000.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of
wireless phones for possible interactions
with other medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur, the FDA will
conduct testing to assess the interference
and work to resolve the problem.

10 Driver Safety Tips

When operating a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless
phone behind the wheel of a car, practice
good common sense and remember the
following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its
features such as speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction manual
and learn to take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer, including
automatic redial and memory. Also, work
to memorize the phone keypad so you

2. When available, use a hands-free device.
A number of hands-free wireless phone
accessories are readily available today.
Whether you choose an installed
mounted device for your wireless phone
or a speaker phone accessory, take
advantage of these devices if available to
you.
3. Make sure you place your wireless
phone within easy reach and where you
can reach it without removing your eyes
from the road. If you get an incoming
call at an inconvenient time, if possible,
let your voicemail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous
driving conditions or situations. Let the
person you are speaking with know you
are driving; if necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can
be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As
a driver, your first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.

can use the speed dial function without
taking your attention off the road.

Safety
5. Don’t take notes or look up phone
numbers while driving. If you are reading
an address book or business card, or
writing a “to-do” list while driving a car,
you are not watching where you are
going. It is common sense. Do not get
caught in a dangerous situation because
you are reading or writing and not
paying attention to the road or nearby
vehicles.

S a f ety

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if
possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try
to plan your calls before you begin your
trip or attempt to coincide your calls
with times you may be stopped at a
stop sign, red light, or otherwise
stationary. But if you need to dial while
driving, follow this simple tip -- dial only
a few numbers, check the road and your
mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting.
Stressful or emotional conversations and
driving do not mix; they are distracting
and even dangerous when you are

behind the wheel of a car. Make people
you are talking with aware you are
driving and if necessary, suspend
conversations which have the potential
to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help.
Your wireless phone is one of the
greatest tools you can own to protect
yourself and your family in dangerous
situations -- with your phone at your
side, help is only three numbers away.
Dial 911 or other local emergency
number in the case of fire, traffic
accident, road hazard, or medical
emergency. Remember, it’s a free call on
your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others
in emergencies. Your wireless phone
provides you a perfect opportunity to
be a “Good Samaritan” in your
community. If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call
911 or other local emergency number, as
you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special

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
radiofrequency (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

situations you encounter while driving
may require attention, but are not
urgent enough to merit a call for
emergency services. But you can still
use your wireless phone to lend a hand.
If you see a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazard, a broken
traffic signal, a minor traffic accident
where no one appears injured or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or other special
non-emergency wireless number.
The above tips are meant as general
guidelines. Before deciding to use your
mobile device while operating a vehicle, it
is recommended that you consult your
applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other
regulations regarding such use. Such laws
or other regulations may prohibit or
otherwise restrict the manner in which a
driver may use his or her phone while

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.

S a f ety

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.
This device was tested for typical bodyworn operations with the back of the
phone kept 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) between
the user’s body and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must be
maintained between the user's body and
the back of the phone. Third-party beltclips, holsters, and similar accessories
containing metallic components should not
be used. Body-worn accessories that
cannot maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)
separation distance between the user's
body and the back of the phone, and have
not been tested for typical body-worn
operations may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and should be avoided.
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.
The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear is
1.1 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user’s manual, is 0.636

between SAR levels of various phones and
at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.

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.
S a f ety

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 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.
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.

To ensure that the Hearing Aid
Compatibility for your phone is maintained,
secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth
and WLAN(this phone does not have
WLAN) components must be disabled
during a call. See page 79 for the
instructions to disable these components.

S a f ety

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 is
synonymous for T ratings. 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.

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
