FCC Regulations

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

RF Exposure Information and Statement
The SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. Device types M55 (FCC ID: 2AWVS-M55) have also been tested against this SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use at the ear is 0.908 W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 0.890 W/kg. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with 10mm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 10mm separation distance between the user’s body. The use of belt clips, holsters, and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for wireless devices
The FCC has adopted rules to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities. As part of this effort, the industry uses a rating system for wireless phones to help hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants). This hearing-aid compatibility (HAC) rating system is described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard and includes the following ratings:
M-Ratings: For phones that use acoustic coupling with hearing devices that are not operating in telecoil mode. Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC HAC requirements and are likely to generate less radio frequency interference with hearing devices than phones with lower ratings. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your M55 is rated M4.
T-Ratings: For phones that use inductive coupling with hearing devices operating in telecoil mode. Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC HAC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your M55 is rated T3. 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.
The ratings are not guaranteed. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. Results will vary depending on a user’s hearing device and hearing loss. For example, if some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices, 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. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully.

CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

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 will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful 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.
