 Regulatory Information    110 Regulatory Information   The following topics provide important regulatory information.   Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones   The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset. The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent  how  much  RF  the  phone  emits.  All  phone  models  are  tested  at  their  highest  value  in  strict laboratory  settings.  But  when  in  operation,  the  SAR  of  a  phone  can  be  substantially  less  than  the  level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone  design  and  other  factors.  What  is  important  to  remember  is  that  each  phone  meets  strict  federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety. All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public. The highest reported SAR values of the ALCATEL 4044T are: Head: 1.21 W/kg (1g)   Body-worn: 1.40 W/kg (1g)   For body-worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 15 mm from the user’s body. FCC Radio Frequency Emission This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines.   FCC ID number: 2ACCJN010 More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the following FCC website:   http://fcc.gov/oet/ea/ Using Your Phone with a Hearing Aid Device A  number  of  Boost  phones  have  been  tested  for  hearing  aid  device  compatibility.  When  some  wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.   Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount  of  interference  noise  they  may  generate.  ANSI  standard  C63.19  was  developed  to  provide  a standardized  means  of  measuring  both  wireless  phone  and  hearing  devices  to  determine  usability  rating categories for both.   Ratings  have  been  developed  for  mobile  phones  to  assist  hearing  device  users  find  phones  that  may  be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your ALCATEL 4044T has an M4/T4 rating.
 Regulatory Information    111 These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.   M-Ratings:  Phones  rated M4  or  M4  meet  FCC  requirements for hearing  aid  compatibility and  are  likely  to generate  less  interference  to  hearing  devices  than  unrated  phones.  (M4  is  the  better/higher  of  the  two ratings.)   T-Ratings:  Phones 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 phones. (T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)   Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi. This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be newer wireless technologies (including Wi-Fi) used in this phone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids.  Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi. This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be newer wireless technologies (including Wi-Fi) used in this phone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids.  Hearing  aid  devices  may  also  be  measured  for  immunity  to  interference  noise  from  wireless  phones  and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:  ●  Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.   ●  Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.   ●  Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.   Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.   It is further suggested you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store. More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: fcc.gov, fda.gov, and accesswireless.org.   This equipment complies with the hearing aid compatibility technical requirements of Section 20.19 of the rules. HAC Ratings: ANSI C63.19-2011 M4/T4. Warning Statements THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.   The user manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.    Note: THE GRANTEE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installatio. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:   ●  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.   ●  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.   ●  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.   ●  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
