The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of
watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required
to reach the network, generally, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the
back of the phone kept 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) between the user’s body and the back of the phone. To
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm)
must be maintained between the user's body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt clips, holsters,
and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) separation distance between the user's
body and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not
comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.262 W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this user’s manual, is 1.40 W/kg. While there may be differences between
SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID: 2APD4-A95J.To find
information that pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID number which is
usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the
battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for your phone, follow the instructions
on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for that phone.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices
This device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids, with some of the wireless technologies
that it uses. However, there may be newer wireless technologies used in the device that have not been
tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features on your device thoroughly
and in different locations whilst using a hearing aid or cochlear implant to determine if there is any
interfering noise.
The FCC has adopted HAC rules for digital wireless phones. These rules require certain devices 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:
