personal attributes, and reproduce or distribute them, as this may be
considered to be an invasion of privacy.
It is the user’s sole responsibility to ensure that prior authorization be
obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or confidential
conversations or take a photograph of another person; the manufacturer, the
seller or vendor of your mobile device (including the operator) disclaim any
liability which may result from the improper use of the mobile device.

your mobile device, swipe up from the home screen, and tap Settings > About
phone > Legal information, and select a topic.
Regulatory Information (e-label)
Your mobile device uses an electronic label (e-label) that provides regulatory
information about your device. To view the regulatory information (such as FCC
ID) for this device on the device, swipe up from the home screen, then tap
Settings > About phone > Regulatory labels.
FCC Compliance
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance of this device voids the user’s authority to operate this
device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
For other devices, they bear the following statement:
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
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
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
22
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.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
The FCC has established requirements for digital wireless mobile devices to be
compatible with hearing aids and other assistive hearing 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 guarantees. 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 have 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.
Your device includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) set by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The RF exposure limits set by the
FCC for wireless mobile devices utilize a unit of measurement referred to as
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is a measure of the amount of RF energy
absorbed by the body when using a mobile device. The FCC requires mobile
device manufacturers to ensure that their mobile devices comply with these
objective limits for safe exposure. The FCC SAR limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and
to account for any variations in measurements. The FCC limit for public
exposure from cellular telephones is a SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram
(1.6 W/kg).
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. To ensure compliance with the RF exposure
guidelines, the device must be used at least 15mm from your body.
23
SAR information for this device can be found on the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/. Follow the instructions on the website to use the FCC ID
for this device to find SAR values for the device. To view additional SAR
information on your phone, swipe up from the home screen, then tap Settings >
About phone > Legal information > RF Exposure.
