Safety
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.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations 
for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 
Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless 
phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC 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 the rating on their box or a label 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 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.
