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- 09 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 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.

32 33

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. Your device is rated M3.

Please power off the Bluetooth® function while using hearing aid devices with your A466BG.

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 8 is 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 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 TCL 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. C95.1-1999.

 National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.

 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: 2ACCJH055 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 1 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®
