Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Operation on the 5.15-5.25 GHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use
only.
The device meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines and is
certified with the FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed in
positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC. For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and
meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the mobile device a minimum of 1.5
cm from the body.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Your phone is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility
requirements.
The FCC has adopted HAC rules for digital wireless phones. These rules
require certain phones to be tested and rated under the American National
Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2011 hearing aid compatibility
standards. The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two
types of ratings:
M-Ratings: Rating for radio frequency interference to enable acoustic
coupling with hearing aids.
T-Ratings: Rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids in telecoil mode.
Not all phones have been rated. A phone is considered hearing aid
compatible under FCC rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling
and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling. These ratings are given on a scale
from one to four, where four is the most compatible. Your phone meets the
M4/T4 level rating.
However, hearing aid compatibility ratings do not guarantee that
interference to your hearing aids will not happen. Results will vary,
depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and the degree
of your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to
interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully.
Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate
it for your personal needs.
