level drops off dramatically with distance. 
For example, you could use a headset and 
carry the wireless phone away from your 
body or use a wireless phone connected to 
a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data 
do not demonstrate that wireless phones 
are harmful. But if you are concerned about 
the RF exposure from these products, you 
can use measures like those described 
above to reduce your RF exposure from 
wireless phone use.

handheld wireless phones and helped 
develop a voluntary standard sponsored 
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic 
Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test 
methods and performance requirements 
for hearing aids and wireless phones 
so that no interference occurs when a 
person uses a ‘compatible’ phone and a 
‘compatible’ hearing aid at the same time. 
This standard was approved by the IEEE in 
2000. The FDA continues to monitor the use 
of wireless phones for possible interactions...

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful 
ability to communicate by voice almost 
anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility 
accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, 
one that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is your first 
responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the 
wheel of a car, practice good common sense 
and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its 
features such as speed dial and redial....

5. Do not take notes or look up phone 
numbers while driving. If you arereading an 
address book or business card, or writing a 
“to-do” list while driving a car, you are not 
watching where you are going. It is common 
sense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous 
situation because you are reading or writing 
and not paying attention to the road or 
nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if 
possible, place calls when you are not 
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to 
plan your...

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in 
emergencies. Your wireless phone provides 
you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good 
Samaritan” in your community. If you see 
an auto accident, crime in progress or 
other serious emergency where lives are in 
danger, call 911 or other local emergency 
number, as you would want others to do 
for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special 
wireless non-emergency assistance 
number when necessary. Certain situations 
you encounter while driving may...

The exposure standard for wireless mobile 
phones employs a unit of measurement known 
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The 
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. * Tests for 
SAR are conducted using standard operating 
positions specified by the FCC with the phone 
transmitting at its highest certified power level 
in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR 
is determined at the highest certified power 
level, the actual SAR level of the phone while 
operating can be well below the maximum...

107
The FCC has granted an Equipment 
Authorization for this model phone with all 
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance 
with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR 
information on this model phone is on file with 
the FCC and can be found under the Display 
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/ after 
searching on FCC ID ZNFA380.
Additional information on Specific Absorption 
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular 
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) 
website at http://www.ctia.org.

Safety Guidelines
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. 
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...
