positioned a minimum of 1cm 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 device at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 0 cm from your
body when the device is switched on.
FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION
INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference, and
• This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This device has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
FCC CAUTION
• Any Changes or modications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user‘s authority to operate the
equipment.
• The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
• The country code selection is for non-US model
only and is not available to all US model. Per FCC
regulation, all Wi-Fi product marketed in US must
xed to US operation channels only.
• Operations in the 5.15-5.25GHz band are restricted to
indoor usage only.
HAC RATING
The FCC has created a rating system for cellular phones
regarding their HAC-related performance. This rating
helps consumers with hearing disabilities to nd phones
that work well with their hearing aid devices. The HAC
rating and measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI C63.19-2011)
contains two rating standards: an “M” rating from 1 to
4 for hearing aids operating in microphone mode, and a
“T” rating from 1 to 4 for hearing aids operating in telecoil
mode. M-Rating stands for Microphone rating and indicates
the amount of reduction of RF interference between the
telephone and the hearing aid in acoustic coupling mode
(also called microphone mode). Phones rated M3 or M4
meet FCC requirements and generate less interference to
hearing devices set in microphone mode. T-Rating stands
for telecoil rating and represents inductive coupling with
hearing aids that are operating in telecoil mode. A tel coil
is a small piece of tightly wrapped wire, built into some
hearing aids. While the microphone of a hearing aid picks
up all sounds, the telecoil only picks up an electromagnetic
signal from the telephone. Thus, users of telecoil-equipped
hearing aids are able to communicate over the telephone
without the amplication of unwanted background noise.
Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and generate
less interference to hearing devices set in telecoil mode. A
combination of M-rating and T-rating denes the nal HAC
rating and is a deciding factor in selecting cellular phones
for people with hearing problems. A HAC compliant phone
could be rated:
• M3/T3
• M3/T4
• M4/T3
• M4/T4
