RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device 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.
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 distance of 15 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 device 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 1.6 W/kg.
This device is complies with SAR for general population / uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and has been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device 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: 2ABZ2-EF136 For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 1.20 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.18W/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 15
mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away
from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported
level. To support body-worn operations, choose a belt clip or case that does
not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 15 mm between
this device and your body.
If the device support wireless charge and when using it as a wireless charger
it is intended for use as a desktop device and should not be carried when in
this mode. To comply with RF exposure requirements when using in the wireless
charging mode please place the device at a minimum distance of 10cm from your
body. RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains
metal, was not tested and certified, and use such bodyworn accessory should be
avoided.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for Mobile phones 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 phone 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 M3/T3 level rating.
However, hearing aid compatibility ratings don’t guarantee that interference
to 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.
