Radio waves
THIS PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency
(RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluations of scientific studies.
These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for phones employs a unit of measurement is known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1
gram of body tissue, as determined set by public authorities such as Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the US and Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada (ISED). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands.
This device complies with SAR 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 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
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: 2ACCJH126
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 of the phone.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested is 1.27 W/Kg for use at
the ear and 1.12 W/Kg for use close to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for RF exposure.
For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided
that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 15 mm
from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications
& Internet Association (CTIA) website: http://www.ctia.org/ or
http://www.sartick.com
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of
phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or
their children’s RF exposure
by limiting the length of calls or using “hands-free” devices to keep phones
away from the head and body. Additional WHO information about electromagnetic
fields and public health is available on the following website:
http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
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 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of licensed radio
service (e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following statement:
This phone complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference;
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Your phone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it. As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in positions other than against your ear. In such circumstances, the device will be compliant with the guidelines when used with a headset or usb data cable.

US Information Concerning the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices
When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as 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, and
wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference that they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device
users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that are
rated will have the rating displayed on the box together with other relevant
approval markings.
The ratings are not guaranteed. Results will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to
interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully.
Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless
device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some
of the wireless technologies that the smartphone uses. However, other
wireless technologies may be used in this smartphone that has not been tested
for use with hearing aids.
It is important to try the different features of your smartphone thoroughly
and in different locations to determine if you hear any
interfering noise when using this smartphone with your hearing aid or cochlear
implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and exchange
policies, and for information about hearing aid compatibility.
Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone: M4/T3
How the ratings work
M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless devices
that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (also known as a T
Switch or Telephone Switch) than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or
higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in
them. Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type
of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more
immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference
noise from wireless devices.

hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that the FCC
has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to
telecommunications services, visit
