FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)
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 United States. 
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified 
power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that 
simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and 
near the body with the separation of 15 mm. 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 phone 
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. 
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement 
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 
1.6 W/kg.
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. 
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 www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid 
after searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJA018. 
						

							100101
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 
1.18 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.11 W/kg.
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 0.49 inches (15 mm) between the unit and the human body. Carry this 
device at least 0.49 inches (15 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 0.49 inches (15 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. 
FCC compliance
This mobile phone 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. 
This mobile phone 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. 
Caution:  Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the 
equipment.

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 the phone with your hearing device is 
the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. 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 more information on hearing 
aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, 
consult your service provider or phone retailer. 
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely 
to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not 
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. 
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to 
be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone 
Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings. 
(Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) 
Your phone meets the T4/M4 level rating. 
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer 
or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. For more 
information about FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility, please go to
