FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT 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 or M4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less interference
to hearing devices than phones that are not rated. M4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings. Your PC93100 is
rated M4.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to be more usable with a
hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated. T4
is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your PC93100 is
rated T4.
24 Regulatory Notices
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using
hearing aid devices with your PC93100.
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.
Hearing 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

THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested
and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when
used with the HTC Corporation. Accessories supplied
or designated for this product. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
Your wireless mobile phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (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 the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE.
C95.1-1992.
National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. 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 phone
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6 W/kg1
.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model device with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on
file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm
after searching on FCC ID: NM8PC93100.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
website as http://www.phonefacts.net.
26 Regulatory Notices
1In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phone used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in usage. Normal condition only to
ensure the radiative performance and safety of the
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory
operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that no part of the
human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements,
a minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm 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.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result
in violation of regulations. Do not use the phone with a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please
contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Telecommunications & Internet
Association (TIA) Safety Information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six inches
be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six
inches from their pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON.
Regulatory Notices 27
Regulatory Notices
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference. If you have
any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn the phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your service provider, or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn the phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
