Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This phone 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 United States
and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada of
Canada.
During SAR testing, this device is set to transmit at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in
positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head
with no separation, and near the body with the separation of 10
162
mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
phone 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.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of
measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg and 1.6 W/kg by
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.
This device is in compliance with SAR for general population
/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and
Canada RSS 102 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528
and Canada RSS 102. This device has been tested and meets
the FCC and IC RF exposure guidelines when tested with the
device directly contacted to the body.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching
on FCC ID: SRQ-Z836F.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against
the head is 0.93 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.19 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
163
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human
body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to
ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level.
To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters
that do not contain metallic components to maintain a separation
of 10 mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which
contains metal, was not tested and certified, and using such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Mobile Phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones
compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Although
analog wireless phones do not usually cause interference with
hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital wireless phones
sometimes do because of electromagnetic energy emitted by the
phone's antenna, backlight, or other components. Your phone is
compliant with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2011). 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 in finding 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.
167
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 some newer wireless technologies used in this phone
that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is
important to try the different features of this phone 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 phone for information
on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or
exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
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 labeled. 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.)
Your phone meets the M4/T3 level rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find
this rating. For more information about FCC Hearing Aid
Compatibility, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
