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 10 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 employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures
specified in IEEE1528. This device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when
tested with the device directly contacted to the body.
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: SRQ-ZTEN9518.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 0.74 W/kg, for usage near
the body is 1.27 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 10 mm between the unit
and the human body. Carry this device at least 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 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
