Safety Precautions

• Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture

or shred.

• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign

objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other

liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.

• Only use the battery with a charging system that has been

qualified with the system per CTIA Certification Requirements

for Battery System Compliance to IEEE 1725. Use of an

unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explo-

sion, leakage, or other hazard.

• Replace the battery only with another battery that has been

qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725. Use

of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion,

leakage or other hazard.

Only authorized service providers shall replace battery.

(If the battery is non-user replaceable).

• Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local

regulations.

• Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is

dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects

damage, take it to a service center for inspection.

• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other

hazard.

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:

Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements

and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices

than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the

two ratings.

T-Ratings:

Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and

are likely to be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil

“

”

“

”(

T Switch

Telephone Switch

) than unrated phones. T4 is

the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing

devices have telecoils in

them.)

Your phone meets the

T4/M4

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

Compatibility, please go

FCC

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 17

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

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.

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:

2AWF6-SH4650.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the

head is

1.117W/kg, and for usage near the body is

1.024W/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 17 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this

device at least 17 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 17 mm between this

device and your body.

RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which

contains metal, was not tested and certified, and using such

body-worn accessory should be avoided.

FCC Compliance

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not

cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV

interference caused by unauthorized modifications or changes

to this equipment. Such modifications or changes could void the

User's authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: 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 reason-

able 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 accor-

dance 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.
