Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference; and
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications or changes to this equipment. Such modifications or changes could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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 to part 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.

FCC Caution

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The country code selection is for non-US model only and is not available for all US models. Per FCC regulation, all Wi-Fi products marketed in US must be fixed to US operation channels only.
Operation of transmitters in the 5.925-7125 GHz band is prohibited for control of or communications with unmanned aircraft systems.

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 U.S. Government.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. The highest SAR value of this device type complies with this limit. The highest SAR value of this device type complies with this limit.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
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.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
This device has also been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and positions the handset a minimum of 15mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Position the handset a minimum of 15mm from your body when the device is switched on.

Choose the belt clips, holsters, or other similar body-worn accessories which do not contain metallic components to support the minimum distance of body- worn operation. Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device, including its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or certified, and use such accessories should be avoided.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for Mobile phones
Your phone is hearing aid-compatible and complies with HAC rules. These rules require certain phone to be tested and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2019 hearing aid compatibility standards. ANSI C63.19-2019 does not use the rating system that older versions of the standard used.The new rating HAC-2019 indicates that the phone complies with the requirements of ANSI C63.19-2019 for radio frequency interference, T-coil and volume control, and the handset’s lowest actual conversational gain with and without a hearing aid are 21.91 dB and 17.03 dB. 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 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 retur 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.
