FCC Regulations
This mobile phone 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.
This mobile phone 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
radiated 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.
FCC NOTE:
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the
equipment.
37
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
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, Industry Canada of
Canada.
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
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 1.6W/kg, and 1.6W/kg by Industry Canada.
This device is complied 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, 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-ZTEGRANDS.
38
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head
is 0.76W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.44 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 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.
39
IC Notice
This mobile phone complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables
aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux
deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,

IC Radiation Exposure Statement
This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled
exposure limits in IC RSS-102 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE 1528 and IEC
62209. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum
distance 1.0 cm between the radiator and your body. This device and its
antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Cet appareil est conforme aux limites d'exposition DAS incontrôlée pour la
population générale de la norme CNR-102 d'Industrie Canada et a été testé

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- 2007). 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 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
42
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 M3/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
