Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this
model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.39 W/Kg and when worn on
the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.651 W/Kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt clip
that provided a 20 mm separation. The User's Manual indicates that any
holsters/clips used with this device should contain no metallic components.
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 http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after
searching on PP4COACH.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on
the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used
by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The
standard incorporates a sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
PCD'S COMMITMENT
PCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benefits
of digital wireless technologies. We are committed to providing a selection
of compatible devices for our customers who wear hearing aids.
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M4/T4
WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a
rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more
effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices. The standard
for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids is set forth in
American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are
two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to four (four being the
best rating): an "M" rating for reduced interference making it easier to hear
conversations on the phone when using the hearing aid microphone, and a
"T" rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing
(HAC)
