39Cat® S41 Smartphone User ManualHearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)Regulations for wireless devicesThis 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.The 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.) The tested M-Rating and T-Rating for this device (FCC ID: ZL5S41), M3 and T4.The tested M-Rating and T-Rating for this device (FCC ID: ZL5S41A), M3 and T4.Emergency callYou can use your device for emergency calls in the service area.
