US Information Concerning the Federal
CommunicationsCommission (“FCC”) Requirements for
Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices
When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as 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, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference
that they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing
device users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with their
hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices
that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together with other
relevant approval markings.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device
successfully. Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing
the wireless device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it
for your personal needs.
This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for
some of the wireless technologies that the smartphone uses. However,
other wireless technologies may be used in this smartphone that have not
been tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different
features of your smartphone thoroughly and in different locations to
determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this smartphone
with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult your wireless service
provider about its return and exchange policies, and for information about
hearing aid compatibility.
Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone: M4/T3
How the ratings work
M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless
devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or
“Telephone Switch”) than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or
higher of the two ratings. (Note 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 wireless devices.

to hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that the
FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to
telecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. For body worn operation, this phone has
been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the
TCT Mobile Limited. Accessories supplied or designated for this product.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
Your wireless mobile 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 of
the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992 .
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP).
Report 86. 1986.
51
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996.
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. 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 mobile phone 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 FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of https://fjallfoss.
fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm after searching on FCC ID:
2ACCJB079. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
Web-site as http://http://www.ctia.org/.
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phone 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 usage.
Normal condition only to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to
come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with
RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 15 mm
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.
Only use 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.
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment.
Telecommunications & Internet Association
(TIA) safety information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 15 cm (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:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than 15 cm (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. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately.
