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.
During SAR testing, this device was 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 mm. Although the SAR is
7
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.
This device is complied with SAR for general
population /uncontrolled exposure limits in
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in
accordance with the measurement methods and
procedures specified in IEEE1528.
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-Z999.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value
for usage against the head is 1.05 W/kg, for
usage near the body is 1.20 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirements.
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
8
the reported level. To support body-worn
operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which
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.
FCC Regulations
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.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
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
9
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.
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
10
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 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
11
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.

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.
18
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.
