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 0 .4 inches (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 OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, 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: Q78-Z995 .

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is
1.39 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.34 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 0 .4 inches (10 mm) between the unit and the human body . Carry this
device at least 0 .4 inches (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 0 .4 inches (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 use such body-worn accessory
should be avoided .
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 they generate . The wireless telephone industry has developed
a rating system for wireless phones to assist hearing device users in finding
