FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE
FOR HAC AND ACOUSTIC INFORMATION
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
To determine the compatibility of a WD and a particular hearing aid, simply add the
numerical part of the hearing aid category (e.g. M2/T2=2) with the numerical part of the WD
emission rating (e.g., M3=3) to arrive at the system classification for this particular
combination of WD and hearing aid. A sum of 5 would indicate that the WD and hearing aid
would provide normal use, and a sum of 6 or greater would indicate that the WD and hearing
aid would provide excellent performance. A category sum of less than 4 would likely result in
a performance that is judged unacceptable by the hearing aid user.
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 telecoil 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 (telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
The tested M-Rating and T-Rating for this device (FCC ID: Q3N-MR00002) are M4 and T4.
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.
Warning statement:
A pleine puissance, l’écoute prolongée du baladeur peut endommager
l’oreille de l’utilisateur.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels
for long periods.
