19Introduction
2. This product must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC RF exposure information
This product meets the government’s requirements for exposure
to radio waves. This product is a radio transmitter and receiver.
This product is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organization through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR.The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
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 highest SAR value for this product as reported to the FCC
when tested for use at the ear is 0.567 W/kg, and when worn on
the body in a holder or carry case, is 1.025 W/kg.
For body-worn operation, this product has been tested and meets
FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Panasonic
accessory designated for this product and when used with an
accessory that contains no metal and that positions the mobile
device a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this product
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF emission guidelines.
20 Introduction
SAR information on this product is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/
after searching on FCC ID: ACJEB3910A.
Wi-Fi use
This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the
5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires this product to
be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to
reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile
Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary
users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands.
These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage
this product.
Using hearing aids with mobile devices
When some wireless mobile devices 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 mobile
devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate. In
the event of interference you may want to consult your hearing
aid supplier to discuss solutions.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some
of their mobile devices, to assist hearing device users in finding
mobile devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices.
Not all mobile devices have been rated. Mobile devices that are
rated have the rating on their box or 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 mobile device successfully. Trying out the mobile
device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for
your personal needs.
21Introduction
M-Ratings: Mobile devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labeled. M4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements
and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil
(“T-Coil Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated mobile
devices. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that the
hearing aid telecoil must be activated in order for it to function,
and that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type
of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you find results for your hearing
device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you
are to experience interference noise from mobile devices.
Hearing aid compatibility
This mobile device 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 mobile device that have not been tested yet for use with
hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this
mobile device 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 mobile device for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange
policies, consult your service provider or mobile retailer.
