About Android
An Android phone can perform many of the same functions as a
computer. But you can also adjust it to better suit your needs, to receive
the information you want, and have fun at the same time. You can add
and delete applications, or enhance them to improve functionality. At
Android Market you can download a range of applications and games
from a constantly growing collection. You can also integrate applications
on your Android phone with your personal data and online accounts. For
example, you can back up your track of your appointments, and engage
in as much social networking as you like.
Applications
An application is a phone program that helps you perform a task. For
example, there are applications to make calls, take photos and download
more applications.

1. 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.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE:
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.
SAR Information Statement
17
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (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 standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. 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 phones 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. * Tests for SAR are conducted with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear
is 0.623
W/Kg
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.603W/Kg
(Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements).
The maximum scaled SAR in hotspot mode is
0.603
W/Kg. While there may be differences between the 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 with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RFexposure 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: 2ALJJPH4003 Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. * 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 sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public
and to account for any variations in measurements.
Body-worn Operation
18
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 10mm 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.
HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY HAC FOR WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M4/T3
WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating system designed to enable
people who wear hearing aids to more effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices. The
standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids is set forth in American National Standard
Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to four (four being
the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interference making it easier to hear conversations on the phone
when using the hearing aid microphone, and a “T”
rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the tele-coil mode thus reducing
unwanted background noise.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH WIRELESS PHONES ARE HEARING AID COMPATIBLE?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box.
A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4”
rating. A digital wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling (tele-coil mode) if it
has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK WITH A PARTICULAR DIGITAL WIRELESS PHONE?
You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which works the best with your hearing
aids. You may also want to talk with your hearing aid professional about the extent to which your hearing aids
are immune to interference, if they have wireless phone shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a HAC
rating.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations forWireless Devices
19
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Report and Order inWT 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 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than phones that are not rated. M3 is the
better/higherofthetworatings. This Phones rated T3 meet FCC requirements
and are likely to be more usable with a hearing aid’s
telecoil than phones that are not rated.
r hearing aid compatibility with respect to the Wi-Fi
capability. Please power off the Bluetooth function while
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.
20
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. For
