This methodology applies equally for T ratings. The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section

20.19of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

This handset complies with the FCC’s requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility when using the CDMA air interface at both the PCS (1900 MHz) and Cellular (800 MHz) frequency bands. Hearing Aid Compatibility testing has resulted in an acoustic HAC rating of Mx and a T-Coil rating of Tx for CDMA operation. This handset is not configured to use the GSM/UMTS air interface in the United States. Hearing aid or cochlear implant users may have a slightly degraded experience when roaming internationally onto GSM or UMTS networks. Hearing aid or cochlear implant users should consult the service provider about its return and exchange policies and for information on hearing aid compatibility.

SAR Information

1.410 W/kg @ 1g ( FCC )

THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the HTC Corporation accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Your wireless mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.

National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phone 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*.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/ reports/GenericSearch.cfm after searching on FCC ID: NM8RHOD400. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website as http://www.phonefacts.net.

*In the U.S., the SAR limit for mobile phone 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 usage.
