CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE IN-
STRUCTIONS. 11 CHARGERS:
Home A.C./ Travel chargers will operate within the temperature range of: 0C (32F) to 40C (104F). The chargers designed for your phone meet the standard for safety of information technology equipment and office equipment use. Due to differ-
ent applicable electrical specifications, a charger you purchased in one jurisdiction may not work in another jurisdiction. They should be used for this purpose only. Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):
Travel charger: 9V2A QC3.0 Input 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 500mA Output: 5V,3A/9V,2A/12V,1.5A Battery: Softpack 4500mAh typ 12 Radio waves ............................... THIS PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENTS RE-
QUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emis-
sion limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) en-
ergy. These limits are part of comprehensive guide-
lines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent sci-
entific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to en-
sure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Innovation, Sci-
ence and Economic Development Canada (ISEDC), is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard op-
erating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. 13 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 ex-
posure 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:2ACCJN042 Although the SAR is determined at the highest certi-
fied 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 anten-
na, the lower the power output of the phone. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested is 1.0 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.0 W/Kg for use close to the body. 14 While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 15 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compli-
ance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) Web site: http://www.ctia.org/
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indi-
cate the need for any special precautions for use of phones. If individuals are concerned, they may choose to limit their own or their childrens RF expo-
sure by limiting the length of calls, or using hands-
free devices to keep phones away from the head and body. Additional WHO information about elec-
tromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf. 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 lim-
its are designed to provide reasonable protection 15 against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. 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 communica-
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence 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 con-
nected;
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. For the receiver devices associated with the opera-
tion of a licensed radio service, they bear the follow-
ing statement:

nications Commission (FCC) Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices When wireless devices are used near hearing de-
vices (such as 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, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference that they generate. 20 The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together with other rele-
vant approval markings. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the users hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interfer-
ence, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully. Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technolo-
gies that the smartphone uses. However, other wire-
less technologies may be used in this smartphone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of your smartphone thoroughly and in different loca-
tions to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this smartphone with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and exchange policies, and for information about hearing aid compatibility. 21 Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone:
M4/T4. How the ratings work M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless devic-
es that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing devices telecoil (T Switch or Tele-
phone Switch) than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) Hearing devices may also be measured for immuni-
ty to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.
