FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING!
Read this information before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S.
and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with
the FCC guidelines and those international standards.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept
0.39 inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm)
must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the
phone, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Avoid
the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) distance
between the user’s body and the back of the phone and have not been
tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.
6
Technical Details
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

is 0.85 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.04 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ among phone 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
8
Technical Details
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 ZNFVS930.

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.
9
Technical Details
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.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely
to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not
labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings
mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise.
The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A
sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered
for best use.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the
wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal
M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while
using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage”
in this context is defined as a signal quality that’s acceptable for normal
operation.
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 20.19 of the FCC
Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the
10
Technical Details
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
When you're talking over the cell phone, it's recommended you'd turn the
BT (Bluetooth) mode off for HAC.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some
of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some
newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested
yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of
this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or
cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult
your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on
hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange
policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.

Search Box will open automatically.
Voice Search
Tap here to search by voice.

Search Box as you type) and what phone features you want to include in
searches. To access these settings:
1. From the Search application, tap the Menu Key
> Settings.
2. Tap Google Now, Voice, Phone search or Privacy and accounts.
Google Now: Google Now settings let you turn Google Now on or
off. If you turn it on, you’re taken through a brief introduction and given
the chance to opt in. While Google Now is on, you can also set your
preferences for individual Google Now cards and related notifications
from the Google Now settings screen.
Voice: Voice settings control different aspects of speech input and output
when you search by voice or use voice actions.
Language: Select the language to use with voice search.
Speech output: To turn on speech output only when you’ve got a
headset attached to your phone, select Hands-free only.

additional languages for speech recognition when you don’t have a
network connection.
NOTE
To detect when you say “Google” to launch Voice Search or Voice Actions, Google

Locking the Screen
Your phone automatically uses a default Lock Screen to simply prevent
unintentional function activation. You can choose to secure your phone so
that only you can unlock it to make calls, access your data, buy applications,
and so on. For added security to guard against unauthorized use, you can
set a requirement (such as face unlock, pattern, PIN, or password) that will
need to be entered to unlock it. You can also set no lock screen at all.
Setting Swipe, Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN, or Password
Follow these steps to set an unlock sequence for the first time or after you
disable a previously set unlock sequence.
1. From the Home screen, tap Apps
>
Settings
> Lock screen.
2. Tap Select screen lock.
3. Tap None, Swipe, Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN or Password.
None: No lock screen is enabled so the screen will never be locked from
use.
Swipe: A swipe motion in any direction on the touchscreen will unlock
the screen.
Face Unlock: Unlocks the screen using face recognition. Keep in mind
that Face unlock is less secure than a pattern, PIN or password because
it uses generalized shape and dimension to verify your face.
Pattern: Unlocks the screen using a pattern you draw with your finger.
The first time you set an unlock pattern, you will see a tutorial with
instructions on how to create it. Read the tutorial and tap Next. Draw
your pattern (connect at least 4 dots) and tap Continue. Then redraw
your pattern and tap Confirm.
NOTE
Follow the on-screen instructions to create a backup PIN number in case you forget your
pattern.

digits) and tap Continue. Reenter your PIN and tap OK to confirm it.
Password: Unlocks the screen with an alphanumeric sequence. Enter
a password (at least 4 characters) and tap Continue. Reenter your
password and tap OK to confirm it.
From then on, any time you want to turn the phone on or unlock the
screen, you will need to perform the unlock action you set (swipe, face
recognition, pattern, PIN, or password) to gain access to it.
