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 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 dierent from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
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 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.
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 rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. PB31200 is rated M4.
10 Product Safety & Warranty Brochure
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing aid’s telecoil
than phones that are not rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. PB31200 is rated T3.
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid devices with your PB31200.
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 better use. A sum of 8 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 is acceptable for normal
operation.
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 20.19 of the FCC
Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
C63.19 standard.

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:
Product Safety & Warranty Brochure 11
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.
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
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: NM8PB31200. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web-site as http://www.phonefacts.net.
* In the U.S. and Canada, 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.
Normal condition only to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio
transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during
operation of the equipment.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 1.5 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure
requirements and should be avoided.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair
call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) safety information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
