with the hone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the 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. 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 reported to the FCC when tested for use at the
ear is 1.15W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.44 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories
and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences 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 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: XD6U520AS.
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 the 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 FOR WIRELESS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M 4 /T 4.
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 effectively use these wireless
telecommunications devices. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with
hearing aids is set forth 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 interference 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”
