REGULATORY INFORMATION
Thefollowingtopicsprovideimportantregulatoryinformation.
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATES (SAR) FOR WIRELESS
PHONES
TheSARvaluecorrespondstotherelativeamountofRFenergyabsorbedintotheheadofauser
ofawirelesshandset.
TheSARvalueofaphoneistheresultofanextensivetesting,measuringandcalculationprocess.It
doesnotrepresenthowmuchRFthephoneemits.Allphonemodelsaretestedattheirhighest
valueinstrictlaboratorysettings.Butwheninoperation,theSARofaphonecanbesubstantially
lessthanthelevelreportedtotheFCC.Thisisbecauseofavarietyoffactorsincludingitsproximity
toabasestationantenna,phonedesignandotherfactors.Whatisimportanttorememberisthat
eachphonemeetsstrictfederalguidelines.VariationsinSARsdonotrepresentavariationinsafety.
Allphonesmustmeetthefederalstandard,whichincorporatesasubstantialmarginofsafety.As
statedabove,variationsinSARvaluesbetweendifferentmodelphonesdonotmeanvariationsin
safety.SARvaluesatorbelowthefederalstandardof1.6W/kgareconsideredsafeforusebythe
public.
ThehighestreportedSARvaluesoftheALCATELONETOUCHElevateare:
Head:0.93W/kg(1g)
Body-worn:1.46W/kg(1g)
Forbody-wornoperation,thisdevicehasbeentestedandmeetstheFCCRFexposureguidelines
whenusedwithanaccessorythatcontainsnometalandthatpositionsthehandsetaminimumof
1.0cmfromtheuser’sbody.
FCC RADIO FREQUENCY EMISSION
ThisphonemeetstheFCCRadioFrequencyEmissionGuidelines.
FCC ID number:2ACCJB011

USING YOUR PHONE WITH A HEARING AID DEVICE
AnumberofVirginphoneshavebeentestedforhearingaiddevicecompatibility.Whensome
wirelessphonesareusedwithcertainhearingdevices(includinghearingaidsandcochlear
implants),usersmaydetectanoisewhichcaninterferewiththeeffectivenesstothehearingdevice.
