Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to
radio waves.
This device 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:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the device 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 device
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels
33
so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when
tested for use at the ear is 0.26 W/kg and when worn on the body,
as described in this user guide, is 1.40 W/kg (Body-worn
measurements differ among device models, depending upon
available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
devices and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on
file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section
of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on:
FCC ID: SRQ-Z980LN
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that
contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.0
cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a
body-worn accessory and are not holding the device at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from your body when the
device is switched on.
34
FCC Compliance
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.
CAUTION! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. 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.
35
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
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.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for
36
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/T4 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.
37
Turning on the HAC Setting
To turn on the HAC function, touch > > > Settings and
check Hearing aids.
This section applies to T-Rating only and hearing aids that contain
telecoils. When the HAC setting is on, your phone sends the audio
from your phone calls to the telecoil rather than to the microphone of
your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls much better because
volume is increased and background noise and feedback are
diminished. The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to
through the earpiece. It does not affect calls heard on the speaker or
with a headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your
battery consumption when it's turned on.
CAUTION: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a
hearing aid with a telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid
or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be harmful to your
hearing.
Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce
the risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a

Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation
of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this,
use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not
carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when
one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device
and the distance from the interference source. Increasing the
separation between them may reduce the interference. You may
also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
45
Medical devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine
if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your
medical device.
Hospitals
Turn off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to
prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Turn off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do
so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices
onboard the aircraft. Enable airplane mode prior to boarding an
aircraft.
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interference with electronic
equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile
phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external
antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted
46
signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio
equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas,
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities,
and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Turn off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting
area or in areas posted turn off “two-way radios” or “electronic
devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
