0.30 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ

among phones models, depending upon

available accessories and FCC requirements.)

While there may be differences between

SAR levels of various phones and at various

positions, they all meet the government

requirement for safe exposure.
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/oet/fccid after searching

on FCC ID BEJC900.
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.

Hearing Aid Compatibility

(HAC) with Mobile Phones

When some mobile 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 are rated have the rating on their

box or a label 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 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 labeled. M4 is the better/higher of

the two ratings.
