Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level,

the actual SAR level of the phone 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 of the phone.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance

with national regulations and standards must be shown.

The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested is

1.27 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

phones and at various positions, they all meet the government

requirement for RF exposure.

For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC RF exposure

guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with

the handset at least 15 mm 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.ctia.org/

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present

scientific information does not indicate the need for any special

precautions for use of phones. If individuals are concerned, they may

choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting

the length of calls, or using “hands-free” devices to keep phones

away from the head and body. Additional WHO information about

electromagnetic fields and public health is available on the following

website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.

Radio waves ...............................

THIS PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS

FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. 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 the safety of

all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for phones employs a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit

set by public authorities such as the Federal Communications

Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Innovation,

Science and Economic Development Canada (ISEDC), is 1.6 W/kg

averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted

using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its

highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

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 : 2ACCJH126

US Information Concerning the Federal

Communications Commission (“FCC”)

Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with

Wireless Devices

When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as

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, and wireless devices also vary in the

amount of interference that they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist

hearing device users in finding wireless devices that may be

compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have

been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will have the rating

displayed on the box together with other relevant approval markings.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on

the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device

is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated

wireless device successfully. Consulting with your hearing health

professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing device

is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

You can access, review, and edit your personal information at any

time by logging into your user account, visiting your user profile or

by contacting us directly. Should you require us to edit or delete your

personal data, we may ask you to provide us with evidence of your

identity before we can act on your request.

This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing

aids for some of the wireless technologies that the smartphone

uses. However, other wireless technologies may be used in this

smartphone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids.

It is important to try the different features of your smartphone

thoroughly and in different locations to determine if you hear any

interfering noise when using this smartphone with your hearing aid

or cochlear implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its

return and exchange policies, and for information about hearing aid

compatibility.

Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone: M4 Only.

How the ratings work

M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements

and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than

wireless devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of

the two ratings.

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of

interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health

professional may help you find results for your hearing device.

The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to

experience interference noise from wireless devices.
