Technical Details

The AccoladeTM is an all digitalphone that operates on both CodeDivision Multiple Access (CDMA)frequencies: Cellular services at800 MHz and PersonalCommunication Services (PCS) at1.9 GHz.

CDMA technology uses a featurecalled DSSS (Direct SequenceSpread Spectrum) that enables thephone to keep communicationfrom being crossed and to use onefrequency channel by multipleusers in the same specific area.This results in a 10-fold capacityincrease when compared withanalog mode. In addition, featuressuch as soft / softer handoff, hardhandoff, and dynamic RF powercontrol technologies combine toreduce call interruptions.

The Cellular and PCS CDMAnetworks consist of MSO (MobileSwitching Office), BSC (BaseStation Controller), BTS (BaseStation Transmission System), andMS (Mobile Station).

Safety

TIA Safety InformationThe following is the complete TIASafety Information for wirelesshandheld phones.

Exposure to Radio FrequencySignal

Your wireless handheld portablephone is a low power radiotransmitter and receiver. When ON,it receives and sends out RadioFrequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the FederalCommunications Commissions(FCC) adopted RF exposureguidelines with safety levels forhandheld wireless phones. Thoseguidelines are consistent with thesafety standards previously set byboth U.S. and internationalstandards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) *

NCRP Report 86 (1986)

ICNIRP (1996)

* American National StandardsInstitute; National Council onRadiation Protection andMeasurements; InternationalCommission on Non-Ionizing

Radiation Protection

Those standards were based oncomprehensive and periodicevaluations of the relevant scientificliterature. For example, over 120scientists, engineers, and physiciansfrom universities, governmenthealth agencies, and industryreviewed the available body ofresearch to develop the ANSIStandard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complieswith the FCC guidelines (and thosestandards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or anapproved replacement antenna.Unauthorized antennas,modifications, or attachments coulddamage the phone and may violateFCC regulations.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold thephone as you would any othertelephone with the antenna pointedup and over your shoulder.

99

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate mostefficiently:

Don’t touch the antennaunnecessarily when the phone is inuse. Contact with the antennaaffects call quality and may causethe phone to operate at a higherpower level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations onthe use of wireless phones in theareas where you drive and alwaysobey them. Also, if using yourphone while driving, please observethe following:

● Give full attention to driving --driving safely is your firstresponsibility;

● Use hands-free operation, ifavailable;

● Pull off the road and park beforemaking or answering a call ifdriving conditions or the lawrequire it.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipmentis shielded from RF signals.However, certain electronicequipment may not be shieldedagainst the RF signals from yourwireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry ManufacturersAssociation recommends that aminimum separation of six (6)inches be maintained between ahandheld wireless phone and apacemaker to avoid potentialinterference with the pacemaker.These recommendations areconsistent with the independentresearch by and recommendationsof Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

● Should ALWAYS keep the phonemore than six (6) inches fromtheir pacemaker when the phoneis turned ON;

● Should not carry the phone in abreast pocket;

● Should use the ear opposite thepacemaker to minimize thepotential for interference;

● When you use the phone inpublic places, set the ringtone tovibration so you don't disturbothers.

● Do not turn your phone on oroff when putting it to your ear.

● Use accessories, such asearphones and headsets, withcaution. Ensure that cables aretucked away safely and do nottouch the antenna unnecessarily.

Caution: Avoid potential hearingloss.Prolonged exposure to loud sounds(including music) is the mostcommon cause of preventablehearing loss. Some scientificresearch suggests that usingportable audio devices, such asportable music players and cellulartelephones, at high volume settingsfor long durations may lead topermanent noise induced hearingloss. This includes the use ofheadphones (including headsets,earbuds and Bluetooth® or otherwireless devices). Exposure to veryloud sound has also been

associated in some studies withtinnitus (a ringing in the ear),hypersensitivity to sound anddistorted hearing. Individualsusceptibility to noise-inducedhearing loss and other potentialhearing problems varies.

The amount of sound produced bya portable audio device variesdepending on the nature of thesound, the device, the devicesettings and the headphones. Youshould follow some commonsenserecommendations when using anyportable audio device:

● Set the volume in a quietenvironment and select thelowest volume at which you canhear adequately.

● When using headphones, turnthe volume down if you cannothear the people speaking nearyou or if the person sitting nextto you can hear what you arelistening to.

● Do not turn the volume up toblock out noisy surroundings. Ifyou choose to listen to yourportable device in a noisyenvironment, use noise-

cancelling headphones to blockout background environmentalnoise.

● Limit the amount of time youlisten. As the volume increases,less time is required before yourhearing could be affected.

● Avoid using headphones afterexposure to extremely loudnoises, such as rock concerts,that might cause temporaryhearing loss. Temporary hearingloss might cause unsafe volumesto sound normal.

● Do not listen at any volume thatcauses you discomfort. If youexperience ringing in your ears,hear muffled speech orexperience any temporaryhearing difficulty after listeningto your portable audio device,discontinue use and consultyour doctor.

FDA Consumer UpdateThe U.S. Food andDrug Administration’sCenter for Devices and

Radiological Health ConsumerUpdate on Mobile Phones:

1. Do wireless phones pose ahealth hazard?

The available scientific evidencedoes not show that any healthproblems are associated with usingwireless phones. There is no proof,however, that wireless phones areabsolutely safe. Wireless phonesemit low levels of Radio Frequency(RF) energy in the microwave rangewhile being used. They also emitvery low levels of RF when instandby mode. Whereas high levelsof RF can produce health effects(by heating tissue), exposure tolow level RF that does not produceheating effects causes no knownadverse health effects. Manystudies of low level RF exposureshave not found any biologicaleffects. Some studies havesuggested that some biologicaleffects may occur, but suchfindings have not been confirmedby additional research. In some

cases, other researchers have haddifficulty in reproducing thosestudies, or in determining thereasons for inconsistent results.

2. What is the FDA's roleconcerning the safety of wirelessphones?

Under the law, the FDA does notreview the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products suchas wireless phones before they canbe sold, as it does with new drugsor medical devices. However, theagency has authority to take actionif wireless phones are shown toemit Radio Frequency (RF) energyat a level that is hazardous to theuser. In such a case, the FDA couldrequire the manufacturers ofwireless phones to notify users ofthe health hazard and to repair,replace, or recall the phones sothat the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientificdata does not justify FDAregulatory actions, the FDA hasurged the wireless phone industryto take a number of steps,including the following:

● Support needed research intopossible biological effects of RF

Page 110: Printed in China VX5600 cover 091211.qxd 1/7/10 2:09 PM Page 1 … · 2019-05-21 · 3 Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or

108

Safety

of the type emitted by wirelessphones;

● Design wireless phones in a waythat minimizes any RF exposureto the user that is not necessaryfor device function; and

● Cooperate in providing users ofwireless phones with the bestpossible information on possibleeffects of wireless phone use onhuman health.

The FDA belongs to an interagencyworking group of the federalagencies that have responsibilityfor different aspects of RF safety toensure coordinated efforts at thefederal level. The followingagencies belong to this workinggroup:

● National Institute forOccupational Safety and Health

● Environmental ProtectionAgency

● Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration

● National Telecommunicationsand Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health

participates in some interagencyworking group activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatoryresponsibilities for wireless phoneswith the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC). All phones thatare sold in the United States mustcomply with FCC safety guidelinesthat limit RF exposure. The FCCrelies on the FDA and other healthagencies for safety questionsabout wireless phones.

The FCC also regulates the basestations that the wireless phonenetworks rely upon. While thesebase stations operate at higherpower than do the wireless phonesthemselves, the RF exposures thatpeople get from these basestations are typically thousands oftimes lower than those they canget from wireless phones. Basestations are thus not the subject ofthe safety questions discussed inthis document.

3. What kinds of phones are thesubject of this update?

The term “wireless phone” refershere to handheld wireless phoneswith built-in antennas, often called“cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones.

Page 111: Printed in China VX5600 cover 091211.qxd 1/7/10 2:09 PM Page 1 … · 2019-05-21 · 3 Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or

109

These types of wireless phones canexpose the user to measurableRadio Frequency (RF) energybecause of the short distancebetween the phone and the user’shead.

These RF exposures are limited byFCC safety guidelines that weredeveloped with the advice of theFDA and other federal health andsafety agencies. When the phone islocated at greater distances fromthe user, the exposure to RF isdrastically lower because aperson's RF exposure decreasesrapidly with increasing distancefrom the source. The so-called“cordless phones,” which have abase unit connected to thetelephone wiring in a house,typically operate at far lower powerlevels, and thus produce RFexposures far below the FCC safetylimits.

4. What are the results of theresearch done already?

The research done thus far hasproduced conflicting results, andmany studies have suffered fromflaws in their research methods.Animal experiments investigating

the effects of Radio Frequency(RF) energy exposurescharacteristic of wireless phoneshave yielded conflicting results thatoften cannot be repeated in otherlaboratories. A few animal studies,however, have suggested that lowlevels of RF could accelerate thedevelopment of cancer inlaboratory animals. However, manyof the studies that showedincreased tumor development usedanimals that had been geneticallyengineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in theabsence of RF exposure. Otherstudies exposed the animals to RFfor up to 22 hours per day. Theseconditions are not similar to theconditions under which people usewireless phones, so we do notknow with certainty what theresults of such studies mean forhuman health. Three largeepidemiology studies have beenpublished since December 2000.Between them, the studiesinvestigated any possibleassociation between the use ofwireless phones and primary braincancer, glioma, meningioma, or

Page 112: Printed in China VX5600 cover 091211.qxd 1/7/10 2:09 PM Page 1 … · 2019-05-21 · 3 Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or

110

Safety

acoustic neuroma, tumors of thebrain or salivary gland, leukemia, orother cancers. None of the studiesdemonstrated the existence of anyharmful health effects from wirelessphone RF exposures. However, noneof the studies can answer questionsabout long-term exposures, sincethe average period of phone use inthese studies was around threeyears.

5. What research is needed todecide whether RF exposure fromwireless phones poses a healthrisk?

A combination of laboratory studiesand epidemiological studies ofpeople actually using wirelessphones would provide some of thedata that are needed. Lifetimeanimal exposure studies could becompleted in a few years. However,very large numbers of animals wouldbe needed to provide reliable proofof a cancer promoting effect, if oneexists. Epidemiological studies canprovide data that is directlyapplicable to human populations,but ten or more years follow-up maybe needed to provide answersabout some health effects, such as

cancer. This is because the intervalbetween the time of exposure to acancer-causing agent and the timetumors develop — if they do —may be many, many years. Theinterpretation of epidemiologicalstudies is hampered by difficulties inmeasuring actual RF exposureduring day-to-day use of wirelessphones. Many factors affect thismeasurement, such as the angle atwhich the phone is held, or whichmodel of phone is used.

6. What is the FDA doing to findout more about the possiblehealth effects of wireless phoneRF?

The FDA is working with the U.S.National Toxicology Program andwith groups of investigators aroundthe world to ensure that highpriority animal studies areconducted to address importantquestions about the effects ofexposure to Radio Frequency (RF)energy.

The FDA has been a leadingparticipant in the World HealthOrganization International ElectroMagnetic Fields (EMF) Project sinceits inception in 1996. An influential

result of this work has been thedevelopment of a detailed agendaof research needs that has driventhe establishment of new researchprograms around the world. Theproject has also helped develop aseries of public informationdocuments on EMF issues.

The FDA and the CellularTelecommunications & InternetAssociation (CTIA) have a formalCooperative Research AndDevelopment Agreement (CRADA)to do research on wireless phonesafety. The FDA provides thescientific oversight, obtaining inputfrom experts in government,industry, and academicorganizations. CTIA-funded researchis conducted through contracts withindependent investigators. Theinitial research will include bothlaboratory studies and studies ofwireless phone users. The CRADAwill also include a broad assessmentof additional research needs in thecontext of the latest researchdevelopments around the world.

7. How can I find out how muchRadio Frequency energy exposureI can get by using my wireless

phone?

All phones sold in the United Statesmust comply with FederalCommunications Commission (FCC)guidelines that limit RadioFrequency (RF) energy exposures.The FCC established theseguidelines in consultation with theFDA and the other federal healthand safety agencies. The FCC limitfor RF exposure from wirelessphones is set at a SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 wattsper kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCClimit is consistent with the safetystandards developed by theInstitute of Electrical and ElectronicEngineering (IEEE) and the NationalCouncil on Radiation Protection andMeasurement. The exposure limittakes into consideration the body’sability to remove heat from thetissues that absorb energy from thewireless phone and is set well belowlevels known to have effects.Manufacturers of wireless phonesmust report the RF exposure levelfor each model of phone to theFCC. The FCC website(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)gives directions for locating theFCC identification number on your

phone so you can find your phone’sRF exposure level in the onlinelisting.

8. What has the FDA done tomeasure the Radio Frequencyenergy coming from wirelessphones?

The Institute of Electrical andElectronic Engineers (IEEE) isdeveloping a technical standard formeasuring the Radio Frequency (RF)energy exposure from wirelessphones and other wireless handsetswith the participation andleadership of FDA scientists andengineers. The standard,“Recommended Practice forDetermining the Spatial-PeakSpecific Absorption Rate (SAR) inthe Human Body Due to WirelessCommunications Devices:Experimental Techniques”, sets forththe first consistent testmethodology for measuring the rateat which RF is deposited in theheads of wireless phone users. Thetest method uses a tissue-simulatingmodel of the human head.Standardized SAR test methodologyis expected to greatly improve theconsistency of measurements made

at different laboratories on thesame phone. SAR is themeasurement of the amount ofenergy absorbed in tissue, either bythe whole body or a small part ofthe body. It is measured in watts/kg(or milliwatts/g) of matter. Thismeasurement is used to determinewhether a wireless phone complieswith safety guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reducemy exposure to Radio Frequencyenergy from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products— and at this point we do notknow that there is — it is probablyvery small. But if you are concernedabout avoiding even potential risks,you can take a few simple steps tominimize your exposure to RadioFrequency (RF) energy. Since time isa key factor in how much exposure aperson receives, reducing theamount of time spent using awireless phone will reduce RFexposure. If you must conductextended conversations by wirelessphone every day, you could placemore distance between your bodyand the source of the RF, since theexposure level drops off dramatically

Page 115: Printed in China VX5600 cover 091211.qxd 1/7/10 2:09 PM Page 1 … · 2019-05-21 · 3 Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or

113

with distance. For example, youcould use a headset and carry thewireless phone away from your bodyor use a wireless phone connectedto a remote antenna. Again, thescientific data does notdemonstrate that wireless phonesare harmful. But if you areconcerned about the RF exposurefrom these products, you can usemeasures like those described aboveto reduce your RF exposure fromwireless phone use.

10. What about children usingwireless phones?

The scientific evidence does notshow a danger to users of wirelessphones, including children andteenagers. If you want to take stepsto lower exposure to RadioFrequency (RF) energy, themeasures described above wouldapply to children and teenagersusing wireless phones. Reducing thetime of wireless phone use andincreasing the distance between theuser and the RF source will reduceRF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by othernational governments have advisedthat children be discouraged from

using wireless phones at all. Forexample, the government in theUnited Kingdom distributed leafletscontaining such a recommendationin December 2000. They notedthat no evidence exists that using awireless phone causes brain tumorsor other ill effects. Theirrecommendation to limit wirelessphone use by children was strictlyprecautionary; it was not based onscientific evidence that any healthhazard exists.

11. What about wireless phoneinterference with medicalequipment?

Radio Frequency (RF) energy fromwireless phones can interact withsome electronic devices. For thisreason, the FDA helped develop adetailed test method to measureElectro Magnetic Interference (EMI)of implanted cardiac pacemakersand defibrillators from wirelesstelephones. This test method is nowpart of a standard sponsored by theAssociation for the Advancement ofMedical Instrumentation (AAMI).The final draft, a joint effort by theFDA, medical device manufacturers,and many other groups, was

114

Safety

completed in late 2000. Thisstandard will allow manufacturers toensure that cardiac pacemakers anddefibrillators are safe from wirelessphone EMI.

The FDA has tested hearing aids forinterference from handheld wirelessphones and helped develop avoluntary standard sponsored bythe Institute of Electrical andElectronic Engineers (IEEE). Thisstandard specifies test methods andperformance requirements forhearing aids and wireless phones sothat no interference occurs when aperson uses a “compatible” phoneand a “compatible” hearing aid atthe same time. This standard wasapproved by the IEEE in 2000.

The FDA continues to monitor theuse of wireless phones for possibleinteractions with other medicaldevices. Should harmful interferencebe found to occur, the FDA willconduct testing to assess theinterference and work to resolve theproblem.

10 Driver Safety TipsYour wireless phone gives you thepowerful ability to communicate byvoice almost anywhere, anytime. Animportant responsibilityaccompanies the benefits of wirelessphones, one that every user mustuphold.

When operating a car, driving isyour first responsibility. When usingyour wireless phone behind thewheel of a car, practice goodcommon sense and remember thefollowing tips:

1. Get to know your wireless phoneand its features such as speeddial and redial. Carefully readyour instruction manual and learnto take advantage of valuablefeatures most phones offer,including automatic redial andmemory. Also, work to memorizethe phone keypad so you canuse the speed dial functionwithout taking your attention offthe road.

2. When available, use a hands-freedevice. A number of hands-freewireless phone accessories arereadily available today. Whether

you choose an installed mounteddevice for your wireless phone ora speaker phone accessory, takeadvantage of these devices ifavailable to you.

3. Make sure you place yourwireless phone within easy reachand where you can reach itwithout removing your eyes fromthe road. If you get an incomingcall at an inconvenient time, ifpossible, let your voicemailanswer it for you.

4. Suspend conversations duringhazardous driving conditions orsituations. Let the person you arespeaking with know you aredriving; if necessary, suspend thecall in heavy traffic or hazardousweather conditions. Rain, sleet,snow, and ice can be hazardous,but so is heavy traffic. As a driver,your first responsibility is to payattention to the road.

5. Don’t take notes or look upphone numbers while driving. Ifyou are reading an address bookor business card, or writing a “to-do” list while driving a car, youare not watching where you aregoing. It is common sense. Do

116

Safety

not get caught in a dangeroussituation because you are readingor writing and not payingattention to the road or nearbyvehicles.

6. Dial sensibly and assess thetraffic; if possible, place callswhen you are not moving orbefore pulling into traffic. Try toplan your calls before you beginyour trip or attempt to coincideyour calls with times you may bestopped at a stop sign, red light,or otherwise stationary. But ifyou need to dial while driving,follow this simple tip -- dial onlya few numbers, check the roadand your mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful oremotional conversations that maybe distracting. Stressful oremotional conversations anddriving do not mix; they aredistracting and even dangerouswhen you are behind the wheelof a car. Make people you aretalking with aware you are drivingand if necessary, suspendconversations which have thepotential to divert your attentionfrom the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to callfor help. Your wireless phone isone of the greatest tools you canown to protect yourself and yourfamily in dangerous situations --with your phone at your side,help is only three numbers away.Dial 911 or other localemergency number in the case offire, traffic accident, road hazard,or medical emergency.Remember, it’s a free call on yourwireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to helpothers in emergencies. Yourwireless phone provides you aperfect opportunity to be a“Good Samaritan” in yourcommunity. If you see an autoaccident, crime in progress orother serious emergency wherelives are in danger, call 911 orother local emergency number, asyou would want others to do foryou.

Page 119: Printed in China VX5600 cover 091211.qxd 1/7/10 2:09 PM Page 1 … · 2019-05-21 · 3 Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or

117

10. Call roadside assistance or aspecial wireless non-emergencyassistance number whennecessary. Certain situations youencounter while driving mayrequire attention, but are noturgent enough to merit a call foremergency services. But you canstill use your wireless phone tolend a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serioushazard, a broken traffic signal, aminor traffic accident where noone appears injured or a vehicleyou know to be stolen, callroadside assistance or otherspecial non-emergency wirelessnumber.

The above tips are meant as generalguidelines. Before deciding to useyour mobile device while operatinga vehicle, it is recommended thatyou consult your applicablejurisdiction’s local laws or otherregulations regarding such use. Suchlaws or other regulations mayprohibit or otherwise restrict themanner in which a driver may usehis or her phone while operating avehicle.

Consumer Information onSAR(Specific Absorption Rate)

This Model Phone Meets theGovernment’s Requirements forExposure to Radio Waves. Yourwireless phone is a radio transmitterand receiver. It is designed andmanufactured not to exceed theemission limits for exposure toradiofrequency (RF) energy set bythe Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) of the U.S.Government. These FCC exposurelimits are derived from therecommendations of two expertorganizations, the National Counselon Radiation Protection andMeasurement (NCRP) and theInstitute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers (IEEE). In bothcases, the recommendations weredeveloped by scientific andengineering experts drawn fromindustry, government, and academiaafter extensive reviews of thescientific literature related to thebiological effects of RF energy.

The exposure Limit for wirelessmobile phones employs a unit ofmeasurement known as the Specific

Safety

Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR isa measure of the rate of absorptionof RF energy by the human bodyexpressed in units of watts perkilogram (W/kg). The FCC requireswireless phones to comply with asafety limit of 1.6 watts perkilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCCexposure limit incorporates asubstantial margin of safety to giveadditional protection to the publicand to account for any variations inmeasurements.

Tests for SAR are conducted usingstandard operating positionsspecified by the FCC with thephone transmitting at its highestcertified power level in all testedfrequency bands. Although SAR isdetermined at the highest certifiedpower level, the actual SAR level ofthe phone while operating can bewell below the maximum value.Because the phone is designed tooperate at multiple power levels touse only the power required toreach the network, in general, thecloser you are to a wireless basestation antenna, the lower thepower output.

Before a phone model is available

for sale to the public, it must betested and certified to the FCC thatit does not exceed the limitestablished by thegovernmentadopted requirement forsafe exposure. The tests areperformed in positions andlocations (e.g., at the ear and wornon the body) as required by theFCC for each model.

This device was tested for typicalbody-worn operations with the backof the phone kept 0.79 inches (2.0cm) between the user’s body andthe back of the phone. To complywith FCC RF exposure requirements,a minimum separation distance of0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must bemaintained between the user s bodyand the back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similaraccessories containing metalliccomponents should not be used.Body-worn accessories that cannotmaintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)separation distance between theuser's body and the back of thephone, and have not been testedfor typical body-worn operationsmay not comply with FCC RFexposure limits and should beavoided.

The FCC has granted an EquipmentAuthorization for this model phonewith all reported SAR levelsevaluated as in compliance with theFCC RF emission guidelines.

The highest SAR value for thismodel phone when tested for use atthe ear is 1.27 W/kg and whenworn on the body, as described inthis user’s manual, is 1.13 W/kg.While there may be differencesbetween SAR levels of variousphones and at various positions,they all meet the governmentrequirement for safe exposure.

SAR information on this modelphone is on file with the FCC andcan be found under the DisplayGrant section ofhttp://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/after searching on FCC ID.

To find information that pertains toa particular model phone, this siteuses the phone FCC ID numberwhich is usually printed somewhereon the case of the phone.Sometimes it may be necessary toremove the battery pack to find thenumber. Once you have the FCC IDnumber for a particular phone,follow the instructions on the

website and it should provide valuesfor typical or maximum SAR for aparticular phone.

Additional information on SpecificAbsorption Rates (SAR) can befound on the CellularTelecommunications IndustryAssociation (CTIA) website athttp://www.ctia.org/

FCC Hearing-AidCompatibility (HAC)Regulations for WirelessDevicesOn July 10, 2003, the U.S. FederalCommunications Commission (FCC)Report and Order in WT Docket01-309 modified the exception ofwireless phones under the HearingAid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HACAct) to require digital wireless

Page 122: Printed in China VX5600 cover 091211.qxd 1/7/10 2:09 PM Page 1 … · 2019-05-21 · 3 Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or

120

Safety

phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act isto ensure reasonable access totelecommunications services forpersons with hearing disabilities.

While some wireless phones areused near some hearing devices(hearing aids and cochlearimplants), users may detect abuzzing, humming, or whining noise.Some hearing devices are moreimmune than others to thisinterference noise, and phones alsovary in the amount of interferencethey generate.

The wireless telephone industry hasdeveloped a rating system forwireless phones, to assist hearingdevice users to find phones thatmay be compatible with theirhearing devices. Not all phones havebeen rated. Phones that are ratedhave the rating on their box or alabel located on the box.

The ratings are not guarantees.Results will vary depending on theuser's hearing device and hearingloss. If your hearing device happensto be vulnerable to interference, youmay not be able to use a ratedphone successfully. Trying out the

phone with your hearing device isthe best way to evaluate it for yourpersonal needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4meet FCC requirements and arelikely to generate less interferenceto hearing devices than phones thatare not labeled. M4 is thebetter/higher of the two ratings.

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4meet FCC requirements and arelikely to generate less interferenceto hearing devices than phones thatare not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

Hearing devices may also be rated.Your hearing device manufacturer orhearing health professional mayhelp you find this rating. Higherratings mean that the hearingdevice is relatively immune tointerference noise. The hearing aidand wireless phone rating values arethen added together. A sum of 5 isconsidered acceptable for normaluse. A sum of 6 is considered forbest use.

Page 123: Printed in China VX5600 cover 091211.qxd 1/7/10 2:09 PM Page 1 … · 2019-05-21 · 3 Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or

121

In the above example, if a hearingaid meets the M2 level rating andthe wireless phone meets the M3level rating, the sum of the twovalues equal M5. This shouldprovide the hearing aid user with“normal usage” while using theirhearing aid with the particularwireless phone. “Normal usage” inthis context is defined as a signalquality that’s acceptable for normaloperation.

The M mark is intended to besynonymous with the U mark. The T

mark is intended to be synonymouswith the UT mark. The M and Tmarks are recommended by theAlliance for TelecommunicationsIndustries Solutions (ATIS). The Uand UT marks are referenced inSection 20.19 of the FCC Rules.The HAC rating and measurementprocedure are described in theAmerican National StandardsInstitute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

When you're talking over the cellphone, it's recommended you'dturn the BT (Bluetooth) mode offfor HAC.
