While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 0.4
inches (10 mm) between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least
0.4 inches (10 mm) away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or
lower to the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips
or holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation
of 0.4 inches (10 mm) between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal,
was not tested and certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be
avoided.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for
Mobile Phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones compatible
with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Although analog wireless phones do
not usually cause interference with hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital
wireless phones sometimes do because of electromagnetic energy emitted by
the phone’s antenna, backlight, or other components. Your phone is compliant
with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2011). While some wireless phones are
used near some hearing devices (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 noise and phones also vary in the amount
of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed a
rating system for wireless phones to assist hearing device users in finding phones
that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been
rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on
the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and 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
