If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
35Cat® S31 Smartphone User ManualThe U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established requirements for digital wireless mobile devices to be compatible with hearing aids and other hearing assistive devices.The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless mobile devices to assist hearing device users nd mobile devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing devices happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the mobile device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.The FCC has adopted HAC rules for digital wireless phones. These rules require certain phone to be tested and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2011 hearing aid compatibility standards. The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings: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 labelled. 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 not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) Emergency callYou can use your device for emergency calls in the service area. The connection, however, cannot be guaranteed in all conditions. You should not rely solely on the device for essential communications.FCC statementThe device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
