fied 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.

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

1.19

W/Kg

and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide,

0.694 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 pro-

vided a 22mm 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.

* 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.

FCC HEARING-AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC)

REGULATIONS FOR WIRELESS DEVICES

On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and

Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the

Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones

be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable

access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.

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 find phones that may be compatible with their hear-

ing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating

on their box or a label located on the box.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user' s hearing

device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interfer-

ence, 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.

M-Ratings:

Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements

and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices

than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of

the two ratings.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing

health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the

hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise.

The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of

5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for best use.

In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless

phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should

provide the hearing aid user with "normal usage" while using their hearing aid with

the particular wireless phone. "Normal usage" in this context is defined as a signal

quality that is acceptable for normal operation.

The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended

to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the

Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks

are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement

procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19

standard.
