Turn on the HAC Setting
When the HAC setting is on, your F160
sends the audio from your phone calls to
the telecoil rather than to the microphone of
your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls
much better because volume is increased
and background noise and feedback are
diminished. The HAC setting improves
only the calls you listen to through the
earpiece. It does not affect calls heard on
the speakerphone or with a headset. Turn
off the Bluetooth function. HAC requires
extra battery power, so watch your battery
consumption when it’s turned on.
Caution: Do not turn on the HAC setting
unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil.
Using this setting without a hearing aid or
with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be
harmful to your hearing.
FCC Compliance

This model 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 power 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 the model phone
as reported to the FCC when tested for use
at the ear is 1.08 W/kg and when worn on
the body, as described in this user guide,
is 0.693 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements
differ among phone models, depending
upon available enhancements and
FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between
the SAR levels of individual F160 phones
and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
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
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after
searching on FCC ID: Q78-ZTEF160.
For body-worn operation, this phone has
been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for use with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the
handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Use of other enhancements 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 1.5 cm from your
body when the phone is switched on.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
