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.

Consumer Information
About Radio Frequency
Emissions
Your wireless phone, which
contains a radio transmitter and
receiver, emits radio frequency
energy during use. The following
consumer information addresses
commonly asked questions about
the health effects of wireless
phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of
wireless phones and radio
frequency (“RF”) energy has been
conducted worldwide for many
years, and continues. In the United
States, the Food and Drug...

What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the
FDA, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, and other
agencies, established RF exposure
safety guidelines for wireless
phones in the United States. Before
a wireless phone model is available
for sale to the public, it must be
tested by the manufacturer and
certified to the FCC that it does
not exceed limits established by the
FCC. One of these limits is
expressed as a Specific Absorption
Rate, or “SAR.” SAR is a measure of
the rate of...

head because the phone, which is
the source of the RF emissions, will
not be placed against the head. On
the other hand, if the phone is
mounted against the waist or other
part of the body during use, then
that part of the body will absorb
more RF energy. Wireless phones
marketed in the U.S. are required to
meet safety requirements regardless
of whether they are used against
the head or against the body.
Either configuration should result in
compliance with the safety limit.”

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 value.
