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/T4
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.
T-Ratings: Wireless devices 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 wireless devices. T4 is the better or
higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils
in them.)
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.

to hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that the
FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to
telecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. For body worn operation, this phone has
been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the
TCT Mobile Limited. Accessories supplied or designated for this product.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
Your wireless mobile 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 set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992 .

National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP).

Report 86. 1986.
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(ICNIRP) 1996.
 Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phone employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg*.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of https://fjallfoss.
fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm after searching on FCC ID:
2ACCJB076. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
