Regulatory Information The following topics provide important regulatory information . Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset . The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process . It does not represent how much RF the phone emits . All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings . But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC . This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors . What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines . Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety . All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety . As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety . SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1 .6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public . The highest reported SAR values of the ALCATEL ONETOUCH Elevate are:

Head: 1 .39W/kg (1g) Body-worn: 1 .19 W/kg (1g) For body-worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 15 mm from the users body . FCC Radio Frequency Emission This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines . FCC ID number: RAD556 More information on the phones SAR can be found from the following FCC website:

Using Your Phone with a Hearing Aid Device A number of Boost phones have been tested for hearing aid device compatibility . When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device . Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate . ANSI standard C63 .19 was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability rating categories for both . Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing device . Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices . Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box . Your ALCATEL ONETOUCH 1018B has an M3/T4 rating . These ratings are not guarantees . Results will vary depending on the users hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss . If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device . Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs . M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated phones . (M4 is the better/

higher of the two ratings .) 38 For Assistance For Assistance 39 T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing devices telecoil (T Switch or Telephone Switch) than unrated phones . (T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings . Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them .) Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi . 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 newer wireless technologies (including Wi-Fi) used in this phone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids . Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless phones and should have ratings similar to phones . Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your hearing aid . Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:

Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use . Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use . Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable . Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for excellent use . This is synonymous for T ratings . It is further suggested you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device . Should you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store .
