Federal Communications Commission Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:(1)Thisdevicemaynotcauseharmfulinterference,and(2)thisdevicemustacceptany
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment 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.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
The country code selection is for non-US models only and is not available to all US models. Per FCC
regulation, all WiFi products that are marketed in US must be fixed to US-operated channels only.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device has been tested and meets applicable limits for Radio Frequency (RF) exposure.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. SAR limits
are 1.6 Watts per kilogram (over a volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue) in countries that
follow the United States FCC limit and 2.0 W/kg (averaged over 10 grams of tissue) in countries
that follow the Council of the European Union limit. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free accessory or other similar option to keep this
device away from your head and body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away from your body to
ensure exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels. Choose the belt clips, holsters,
or other similar body-worn accessories which do not contain metallic components to support
operation in this manner. Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device,
including its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or
certified, and use such accessories 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 (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a
buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless
telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones to assist hearing device
users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have
been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box. The
ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and 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.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this
phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different
features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the
manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions
about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
M-Ratings:PhonesratedM3orM4meetFCCrequirementsandarelikelytogenerateless

Your phone meets the M3/T3 level rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you find this rating. For more information about FCC Hearing Aid
