It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure Hearing Aid CompatibilityYour cellphone is rated: "For Hearing Aid", to assist hearing device users in finding cellphones that may be compatible with their hearing devices.This device is HAC M3 and T3 compatible.For more information please refer to "Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones" leaflet or visit our website http://www.alcatelonetouch.comGeneral information .......• Website: www.alcatelonetouch.com• Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/alcatelonetouchusa• Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/alcatel1touch• Hot Line Number: In the United States, call 877-702-3444 for technical support.On our Internet site, you will find our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section. You can also contact us by e-mail to ask any questions you may have. An electronic version of this user guide is available in English and other languages according to availability on our server: www.alcatelonetouch.comYour cellphone is a transceiver that operates on GSM networks with 850 and 1900 MHz bands.Protection against theft (1)Your cellphone is identified by an IMEI (cellphone serial number) shown on the packaging label and in the product’s memory. We recommend that you note the number the first time you use your cellphone by entering *#06# and keep it in a safe place. It may be requested by the police or your operator if your cellphone is stolen.

The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the cellphone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the cellphone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the cellphone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as 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 of the cellphone. Before a cellphone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown.The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested is 0.999 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.12 W/Kg for use close to the body. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.phonefacts.netThe World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using “hands-free” devices to keep cellphones away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193). Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
