Hearing Aid Compatibility Information
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 phones 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 T 4 for inductive coupling. These ratings are give non a scale from one to four. where four is the most compatible.

FCC SAR Warning

This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This phone 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 US. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The SAR guideline includes a considerable safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons regardless of age and health.
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 https://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on: FCC ID: 2ABGH-RC2250L or athttp://orbic.us/ For body worn operation, this phone has 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 1 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1cm from your body when the phone is switched on.

This Product 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 Product 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 Product does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the Product 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.

NOTE 2:
Orbic or the manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to the Product. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband. and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore. the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinues transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.
