Additional health-related information is available from the World Health Organization (WHO) at www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/andfrom The National Cancer Institute (“NCI”) at www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes- prevention/risk/radiation/cell-phones-fact-sheet. In the event that you are concerned about possible health effects, the FDA suggests that you limit your own or your children’s radio frequency (RF) exposure by limiting the length of calls or by using hands-free devices.
Hearing
Warning : When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do not use the headset which can endanger your safety.
Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
Vehicles
Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in vehicles. For more info, check with the manufacturer of your vehicle or its equipment. Only authorized personnel should install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation may be dangerous and invalidate your warranty.
Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories. Do not place your device or accessories in the airbag deployment area.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch your device off in potentially explosive environments, such as near gas stations. Sparks may cause an explosion or fire resulting in
injury or death. Note restrictions in areas with fuel; chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive environment may not be clearly marked. These usually are areas where you are advised to switch your engine off, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and where the air contains chemicals or particles. Check with the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.

Certification information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves as set forth by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Refer to the following.
FCC RF Exposure Information
Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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 guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. 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 handset as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.03 W/kg, and when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is 1.35 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the handset kept 1.5 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm separation distance between the user’s body and the handset. The use of belt clips, holsters, and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in their assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handset with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF mission guidelines. SAR information on this model handset is on file with the FCC and can be found under the FCC ID Search section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on FCC ID 2AJOTTA-1520. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/general/radio-frequency safety-0.
To send data or messages, a good connection to the network is needed. Sending may be delayed until such a connection is available. Follow the separation distance instructions until the sending is finished.
During general use, the SAR values are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output, the lower the SAR value.
Device models may have different versions and more than one value. Component and design changes may occur over time and some changes could affect SAR values.
For more info, go to www.sar-tick.com. Note that mobile devices may be transmitting even if you are not making a voice call. Your mobile device is also designed to meet the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines. FCC ratings for your device and more information on SAR can be found at http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.htmlThe World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that current scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions when using mobile devices. If you are interested in reducing your exposure, they recommend you limit your usage or use a hands-free kit to keep the device away from your head and body. For more information and explanations and discussions on RF exposure, go to the WHO website at www.who.int/peh-emf/en.

HAC notice:
Your phone is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility requirements.
The FCC has adopted HAC rules for digital wireless phones. These rules require certain phones to be tested and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2011 hearing aid compatibility standards. The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
M-Ratings: Rating for less radio frequency interference to enable acoustic coupling with hearing aids. T-Ratings: Rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids in telecoil mode.
Not all phones have been rated. A phone is considered hearing aid compatible under FCC rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling. These ratings are given on a scale from one to four, where four is the most compatible.
Your phone meets the M4/T3 level rating. However, hearing aid compatibility ratings don’t guarantee that interference with your hearing aids won’t happen. 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.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. For more information about FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
