Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) – U.S. Only
This device is hearing aid-compatible as determined by ANSI C63.19-2019 and waiver DA-23-914. The lowest conversational gain is 16.15 dB with a hearingaid, and 20.57 dB without hearing-aid, using telecoil coupling capability. A handset that demonstrates compliance to ANSI C63.19-2011 shall be rated in accordance with section 20.19(b)(2)(i) M and T ratings. The 2019 ANSI C63.19 standard does not use this rating system nor do any test standards exist for any wireless technologies that transmit above 6 GHz. Therefore, 5G NR mmWave frequency bands cannot be tested. Instead, this standard uses the conversational gains for the device’s hearing aid compatible capabilities.
38

This device has been tested and certified 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 retailer.
SAR
Your device includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The RF exposure limits set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices utilize a unit of measurement referred to as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is a measure of the amount of RF energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile device. The FCC requires mobile device manufacturers to ensure that their mobile devices comply with these objective limits for safe exposure. The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. The FCC limit for public exposure from cellular telephones is a SAR level of 1.6 Watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To ensure compliance with the RF exposure guidelines, the device must be used at least 15mm from your body.
SAR information for this device can be found on the FCC website at www.fcc. gov/oet/ea/. Follow the instructions on the website to use the FCC ID for this device to find SAR values for the device.
To view additional SAR information on your phone, swipe up from the Home screen, then tap Settings > System > About phone > Legal information > RF Exposure.
