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.

To find information that pertains to a
particular model phone, this site
uses the phone FCC ID number
which is usually printed somewhere
on the case of the phone.
Sometimes it may be necessary to
remove the battery pack to find the
number. Once you have the FCC ID
number for a particular phone, follow
the instructions on the website and it
should provide values for typical or
maximum SAR for a particular phone.

Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found
on the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association (CTIA) website
at http://www.ctia.org/

*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.

Communications Commission (FCC)
Report and Order in WT Docket 01-
309 modified the exception of
wireless phones under the Hearing

Act) to require digital wireless
phones be compatible with hearing-
aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to
ensure reasonable access to
telecommunications services for
persons with hearing disabilities.

While 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 a rating system for
wireless phones, to assist hearing
device users to find phones that may
be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all phones have been
rated. Phones that are rated have

located on the box.

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
