When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing
devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants),
users may detect a noise which can interfere with the
effectiveness of the hearing device.
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard
C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of
measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to
determine usability rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible
with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been
rated have a label located on the box. Your DuraForce has
an M4 and a T3 rating.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid
Device
Important Safety Information 26
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and individual type
and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly
vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a higher
rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the
hearing device. 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
for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (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.)
Note: 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.
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to
interference noise from wireless phones and should have
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating
of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable
usability:
●Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers
excellent use.
27 Important Safety Information
●Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal
use.
●Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you
will have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is
synonymous for T ratings.
More information about hearing aid compatibility may be
found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and
www.accesswireless.org.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience

Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s
turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)
signals. Your phone is designed to transmit just enough RF
power to reach the network. The system handling your call
controls the RF power level. Depending on network
conditions, your phone may operate at an actual Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) level below the maximum value
specified. Your phone is designed not to exceed the
recommended international guidelines for limits on RF
exposure.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for
safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals.
More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, government health agencies and industries
developed this updated standard after reviewing the
available body of research. In 1993, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted
hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Important Safety Information 30
standard and the guidelines published by the National
Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines,
always use an appropriate accessory if using the phone for
body worn operations. Accessories used with this phone for
body worn operations must not contain any metallic
components and must provide at least 0.39 inches
(1.0 centimeters) separation distance between the user’s
body and the phone, including antennas. Body worn
accessories that do not meet these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be
avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for
Wireless Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless
handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive
testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not
represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models
are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings.
But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be
substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is
because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a
base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What
is important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above,
31 Important Safety Information
variations in SAR values between different model phones do
not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the
federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by
the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the DuraForce are:
Head: 1.48 W/kg
Body-worn: 1.56 W/kg
In the US, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public
is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 1 gram of tissue for
the body or head.
Phone models may have different versions and more than
one value. Changes in design or components may occur
over time and some changes could affect SAR values. More
information on the phone’s SAR can be found on the
following FCC website: http://fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
