Important!

About Wi-Fi Calling
Wi-Fi Calling can improve your coverage and allows you to make phone calls
and send messages over a Wi-Fi network (when a Wi-Fi network is available).
Unless your rate plan provides otherwise, Wi-Fi Calling minutes count the same
as T-Mobile cellular calling minutes on your phone bill.
- To use Wi-Fi Calling, you must first turn on Wi-Fi, connect to a Wi-Fi network,
and then turn on Wi-Fi Calling.
- When the Wi-Fi Calling feature is on, your phone displays the Wi-Fi Calling
icon on the Status Bar.
- To stay on a Wi-Fi call, you must remain within range of the Wi-Fi network.
Your call will drop as you leave the Wi-Fi range. When your Wi-Fi signal
75
Settings
weakens, your phone will beep and display a warning message alerting you
that your call will drop if the signal gets weaker.
Wi-Fi Calling offers three connection options:
- Wi-Fi Preferred: All calls are made over an available Wi-Fi network. If there
are no available Wi-Fi networks calls are made over the cellular network.
- Cellular Network Preferred: All calls are made over the cellular network unless
the cellular network is not available, then calls are made over an available
Wi-Fi network.
- Never use Cellular Network: All calls are made over an available Wi-Fi
network. If there are no available Wi-Fi networks, your calls will not connect.

FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United
States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated
safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 0.39
inches (1 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1 cm) must be maintained
between the user’s body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips,
holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components may not be
used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1 cm)
distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone and have not
been tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm) between the
user / bystander and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more information
about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or modifications
to the antenna) could impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty
and/or violate FCC regulations.
Don’t use the phone with a damaged antenna. A damaged antenna could
cause a minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.

For Your Safety
Consumer Information About Radio Frequency Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits radio
frequency energy during use. The following consumer information addresses
commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones and radio frequency
(“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the
Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures
for wireless phones. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues
related to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientific community at large
… believes that the weight of scientific evidence does not show an association
between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse
health outcomes. Still the scientific community does recommend conducting
additional research to address gaps in knowledge. That research is being
conducted around the world and FDA continues to monitor developments
in this field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.
gov (under “C” in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research). You can
also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In
June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and development
agreement through which additional scientific research is being conducted.
The FCC issued its own website publication stating that “there is no scientific
evidence that proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or a variety
of other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.”
This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety or through the
FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.
What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines
for wireless phones in the United States. Before a wireless phone model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and
100
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC. One
of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.” SAR is a
measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are
conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest power level in all tested
frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld
wireless phones not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of
tissue.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR
value of a wireless phone while operating can be less than the reported SAR
value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to call, depending
on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the phone to the
body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices. Before a phone model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is
0.51 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.12
W/kg (body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/
fccid/ after searching on FCC ID ZNFD801.
For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins or
visit the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association website at http://
www.ctia.org/consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371. You may also wish to contact
the manufacturer of your phone.
101
For Your Safety
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take
to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time. You
can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website
states that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience
and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head
because the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed
against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist
or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more
RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety
requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against
the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.”
Also, if you use your wireless phone while in a car, you can use a phone with
an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your
wireless phone manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of your phone.
Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.” The
FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless
phones at all”. For example, the Stewart Report from the United Kingdom
[“UK”] made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this report a
group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that using a cell
phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s] recommendation to
limit cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on
scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet is
available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search “mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB,
Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of the UK’s annual
reports on mobile phones and RF are available online at www.iegmp.org.uk and
http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search “mobile”). Parents who wish to reduce
their children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict their children’s wireless
phone use.

TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld
phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S.
and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the
relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed
the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may
violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with
the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
105
For Your Safety
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact
with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than otherwise needed.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6) 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 (6) inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference;
• Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
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).
106
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your
phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a
“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always marked
clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations);
below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air
107
For Your Safety
contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the
air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed
and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and
Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones.
There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range
while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in idle mode.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue),
exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found
any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects
may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In
some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies,
or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless
phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does
with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take
action if wireless phones are shown to emit Radio Frequency (RF) energy at a
108
level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could require the
manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to
repair, replace, or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data does not justify FDA regulatory actions,
the FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type
emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user
that is not necessary for device function; and
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible
information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that
have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working
group activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United
States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. The
FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about
wireless phones.
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks
rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the
wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base
stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from
wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions
discussed in this document.
109
For Your Safety
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld wireless phones with built-in
antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types of wireless
phones can expose the user to measurable Radio Frequency (RF) energy
because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.
These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were developed
with the advice of the FDA and other federal health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure
to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly
with increasing distance from the source. The so-called “cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically
operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures far below the
FCC safety limits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies
have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments
investigating the effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposures
characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often
cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have
suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in
laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor
development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated
with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in
the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up
to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under
which people use wireless phones, so we do not know with certainty what the
results of such studies mean for human health. Three large epidemiology
studies have been published since December 2000. Between them, the
studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless
phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma,
tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the
studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless
phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about
110
long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies
was around three years.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from
wireless phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people
actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed.
Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However,
very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a
cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data
that is directly applicable to human populations, but ten or more years followup may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as
cancer. This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancercausing agent and the time tumors develop — if they do — may be many,
many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by
difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless
phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the
phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible
health effects of wireless phone RF?
The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups
of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are
conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to
Radio Frequency (RF) energy.
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization
International Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996.
An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed
agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research
programs around the world. The project has also helped develop a series of
public information documents on EMF issues.
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
have a formal Cooperative Research And Development Agreement (CRADA)
to do research on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientific
111
For Your Safety
oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic
organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts with
independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory
studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a
broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest
research developments around the world.
7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy
exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit Radio Frequency (RF)
energy exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in consultation with
the FDA and the other federal health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for
RF exposure from wireless phones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety
standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
(IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement.
The exposure limit takes into consideration the body’s ability to remove heat
from the tissues that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set well
below levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones must
report the RF exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC
website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC
identification number on your phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure
level in the online listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency
energy coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a
technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure
from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and
leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard, “Recommended
Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental
Techniques”, sets forth the first consistent test methodology for measuring the
112
rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The test
method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head. Standardized
SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of
measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the
measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the whole
body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g)
of matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a wireless phone
complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio
Frequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products — and at this point we do not know
that there is — it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize
your exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent
using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more distance
between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops
off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry
the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to
a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data does not demonstrate that wireless
phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from
these products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones,
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure
to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above would apply to
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source
will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that
113
For Your Safety
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example,
the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing
such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence
exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects.
Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard
exists.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical
equipment?
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless phones can interact with some
electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test
method to measure Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is
now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement
of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the FDA,
medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in
late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.
The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless
phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test
methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones
so that no interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a
“compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the
IEEE in 2000.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found
to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to
resolve the problem.

For Your Safety
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless
Devices
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 to 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 labeled.
M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to
generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled.
T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
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 interference noise. 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 best use.
116
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’s acceptable for normal operation.
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.
To enter that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is maintained,
secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth and WLAN(this phone does not have
WLAN) components must be disabled during a call.
