Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs abnormally, you can refer to the
chart below. If your particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in the chart,
contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
Poor
reception
The network signal is too
weak at your current
location, for example, in
a basement or near a
tall building, because
wireless transmissions
cannot effectively reach
it.
Move to a location
where the
network
signal can be properly
received.
The network is busy at
the current time (for
example, during peak
times, there may be too
much network traffic to
handle additional calls).
Avoid using the phone at
such times, or try again
after waiting a short
time.
You are too far away
from a base station for
your service provider.
You can request a
service area map from
your service provider.
Echo or

off the phone.
The battery is depleted. In
high
temperature
environments, battery
life will be shortened.
Contact the dealer to
change
a new battery.
If you are not able to
connect to the network,
the phone will continue
to send out signals as it
attempts to locate a
base station. Doing so
consumes battery power
and will consequently
shorten standby time.
Change your location to
one where the network
is accessible, or
temporarily turn off your
phone.

using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device 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 device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the device 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.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.15
W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.11 W/kg (Body-worn
measurements differ among device models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC
RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found
under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet- /ea/fccid/ after searching on:
116
FCC ID: SRQ-Z981.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines
for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.0
cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
If you do no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the device at the ear, position the
handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from your body when the device is switched on.
FCC Compliance
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. Caution:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer 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.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for Mobile phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones compatible with hearing aids
and cochlear implants. Although analog wireless phones do not usually cause interference with
hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital wireless phones sometimes do because of
electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone's antenna, backlight, or other components.
117
Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2011). 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 in finding 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.
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.
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 be more usable with a
hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/
higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Your phone meets the M4/T3 level rating. Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. For more information
