For Your Safety
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model phone meets the government's requirements
for exposure to radio waves.
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 U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. 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.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported
to the FCC when tested for use at the ear and on the
body are:
Head: 1.31 W/kg, Body: 1.43 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available enhancements 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.

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/fccid/ after searching
on FCC ID: SRQ-Z667G.
For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested
and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with
an accessory that contains no metal and positions the
handset a minimum of 1 cm from the body. Use of
other enhancements may not ensure compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-
worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the
ear, position the handset a minimum of 1 cm from your
body when the phone is switched on.
* 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 substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.
FCC Compliance
This device 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.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment 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 radiate 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.
Hearing Aid Compatibility
(HAC) Regulations for
Mobile Phones
n 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
For Your Safety
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 ratings for
some of their mobile 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 have been rated have a label on the box.
These ratings are not guaranteed. Results will vary,
depending on the level of immunity of your hearing
device and the degree of your 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 to generate less interference
