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.
8
CAUTION
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of unauthorized
antennas or modifications could impair call quality, damage the phone,
void your warranty and/or result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not
use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with skin, a minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back
of the phone kept 1 cm (0.39 inches) between the user’s body and the
back of the phone. To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 1 cm (0.39 inches) must be maintained
between the user’s body and the back of the phone.
Any belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic
components may not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 1 cm (0.39 inches)
separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone,
and have not been tested for typical bodyworn operations may not
comply with FCC/IC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.

Safety Guidelines
TIA Safety Information
Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information for Wireless
Handheld phones. Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers, Hearing
Aids, and Other Medical Devices is required in the owner’s manual for
CTIA Certification. Use of the remaining TIA language is encouraged when
appropriate.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also 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)
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).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).
11
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone
with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Do not 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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while
driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
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.
12
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.
• 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 your 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.
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.
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.
13
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone
OFF before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when
in a blasting areas 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 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.
Safety Information
Please read and observe the following information for safe and proper
use of your phone and to prevent damage. Also, keep the user guide in an
accessible place at all times after reading it.
Charger and Adapter Safety
The charger and adapter are intended for indoor use only.
14
Battery Information and Care

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Centre 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 energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF when in the standby 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 energy (RF) at a 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 do not justify FDA regulatory actions,
the FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,
18
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 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 (Administración de la
seguridad y salud laborales)
• 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.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term ‘wireless phone’ refers here to handheld wireless phones with
builtin antennas, often called ‘cell’, ‘mobile’, or ‘PCS’ phones. These types of
19
wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy
(RF) 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 radiofrequency energy (RF)
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 predisposed 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 don’t 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 longterm
exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was
around three years.
20
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 10 or more years follow-up 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 cancer-
causing 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 radiofrequency energy (RF). The FDA has been
a leading participant in the World Health Organization International
Electromagnetic 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
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
21
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 radiofrequency 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 radiofrequency
energy (RF) 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 telephones 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 radiofrequency energy
coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing
a technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF)
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 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
22
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 radiofrequency
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 radiofrequency energy (RF). 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 radiofrequency energy (RF), 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
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
23
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some
electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed
test method to measure electromagnetic 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.

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by
voice almost anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies
the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold. When
operating a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial
and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take
advantage of valuable features most phones offer, including automatic
redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you
can use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the
road.
2. When available, use a handsfree device. A number of handsfree wireless
phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an
installed mounted device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone
accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place
your wireless phone within easy reach and where you can reach it
without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call
at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or
situations. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving;
if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the
road.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are
reading an address book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list
while driving a car, you are not watching where you are going. It is
common sense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation because you
are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby
25
vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are
not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before
you begin your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you
may be stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if
you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip — dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not
mix; they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the
wheel of a car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving
and if necessary, suspend conversations which have the potential to
divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of
the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in
dangerous situations — with your phone at your side, help is only three
numbers away. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case
of fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical emergency. Remember, it
is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless
phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in
your community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other
serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless nonemergency
assistance number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter
while driving may require attention, but are not urgent enough to
merit a call for emergency services. But you can still use your wireless
phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no
serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where
no one appears injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.

Consumer Information on SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the Government’s Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) 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 standards that
were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. 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 phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands.
Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels to use only the power required to reach the network, in
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower
the power output.
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 values are:
* Head: 0.00 W/kg
* Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 0.00 W/kg
(Body measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
27
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: XXXXXXXX.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found
on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org/
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones
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
measurements.
* Product meets current FCC & IC Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines.

Anti-Theft Guide
You can set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's
been reset to factory settings without your permission. For example,
if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google
account or screen lock information can use the device.
All you need to make sure your device is protected is:
• Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a
screen lock set, the device can't be erased using the Settings menu
unless your screen is unlocked.
• Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but
you have your Google account on it, the device can't finish the setup
process until your Google account information is entered again.
After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock your screen or
enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset.
This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.
NOTE
• Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to your
device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account
information during the setup process, you won't be able to use the device at all
after performing the factory reset.

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 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.
For Your Safety 117
A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 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’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 ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is
maintained, secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth and WLAN
components must be disabled during a call.
