Although all phones are equipped with 9-1-1 emergency calling, this phone may or may not permit its location to be approximated during a 9-1-1 call. Be prepared to report your location when dialing 911*.
* Availability of this feature depends on upgrades to the (a) wireless network and (b) 9-1-1 calling system that are required to be installed by the local 9-1-1 response agency or public safety answering point (PSAP); these upgrades may not be available everywhere within our wireless coverage area or your roaming area. This approximation of the phone’s location and the transmittal of location information are subject to emergency situations, transmission limits, network problems/limitations, interconnecting carrier problems, your phone, buildings/tunnels, signal strength and atmospheric/topographical conditions, and may be curtailed, interrupted, dropped, or refused. The phone’s approximate location is transmitted to the local 9-1-1 response agency or PSAP while the call is in progress; this approximation is intended solely to aid the PSAP in dispatching emergency assistance or to limit the search area for emergency services personnel. You should not rely solely on a mobile phone for essential communications (such as a medical or other emergency).

FCC Compliance
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance of this device voids the user’s authority to operate this device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference.
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
This device is hearing aid-compatible as determined by ANSI C63.19-2019 and waiver DA-23-914. The lowest conversational gain is 8.07 dB with a hearing-aid, and 16.07 dB without a hearing-aid, using telecoil coupling capability. A handset that demonstrates compliance to ANSI C63.19-2011 shall be rated in accordance with section 20.19(b)(2)(i) M and T ratings. The 2019 ANSI C63.19 standard does not use this rating system nor do any test standards exist for any wireless technologies that transmit above 6 GHz. Therefore, 5G NR mm Wave frequency bands cannot be tested. Instead, this standard uses the conversational gains for the device’ s hearing aid compatible capabilities.
This device has been tested and certified 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 retailer.
SAR
Your device includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The RF exposure limits set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices utilize a unit of measurement referred to as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is a measure of the amount of RF energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile device. The FCC requires mobile device manufacturers to ensure that their mobile devices comply with these objective limits for safe exposure. The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. The FCC limit for public exposure from cellular telephones is a SAR level of 1.6 Watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To ensure compliance with the RF exposure guidelines, the device must be used at least 15 mm from your body. SAR information for this device can be found on the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/. Follow the instructions on the website to use the FCC ID for this device to find SAR values for the device. To view additional SAR information on your phone, swipe up from the home screen, then touch Settings > System > About phone > Legal information > RF Exposure.
