Although the SAR is determined at the highest ceied power level, the actual
SAR level of the phone 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, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as repoed to the FCC when tested
for use at the ear is 1.28 W/kg, in hotspot mode is 1.27 W/kg, and when worn on
the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.17 W/kg (Body-worn measurements
dier among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements.)
While there may be dierences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all repoed SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on le with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid aer
searching on FCC ID: XD6U695DS.
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 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories 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 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
This phone has a HAC rating of M4/T3 (2011 ANSI)
What is hearing aid compatibility?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating
system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more eectively use
these wireless telecommunications devices. The standard for compatibility of
digital wireless phones with hearing aids is set foh in American National Standard
Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with
ratings from one to four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced
inteerence making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when using the
hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be used with
hearing aids operating in the tele-coil mode, thus reducing unwanted background
noise.
How will I know which wireless phones are hearing aid compatible?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box. A
phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone
mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital wireless phone is considered
Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling (tele-coil mode) if it has a “T3” or
“T4” rating.
