RF exposure information (SAR)

This mobile phone meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio
waves. 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 U.S. Government. 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 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the 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. This is because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for US model phones as
reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.23 W/kg and when worn on
the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.86 W/kg.

Important: Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirements. 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 for FCC ID:
HLZEMS510.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with accessories that contain no metal and that position
the handset a minimum of 1 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum
of 1 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.

Using your phone with a hearing aid device

Your device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
requirements. When 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 ratings for some of their
mobile 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
have been rated have a label on the box. Your device has been tested for hearing
aid device compatibility and has an M3 and/or T3 rating.
