Choose carefully
Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play,
communicate, work, or have fun. But remember, choose your
apps carefully. Here are a few tips:
• To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses from affecting
your phone or privacy, use apps from trusted sites, like
Google Play Store.
• In Google Play Store, check the app’s ratings and comments
before installing.
• If you doubt the safety of an app, don’t install it.
• Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory, data,
battery, and processing power—some more than others.
For example, a simple battery level widget will use less than
a streaming music player app. After installing an app, if
you’re not happy with how much memory, data, battery or
processing power it’s using, uninstall it. You can always
install it again later.
• Just like web browsing, you may want to monitor children’s
access to apps to help prevent exposure to inappropriate
content.
• Certain apps may not provide completely accurate
information. Take care, especially when it comes to personal
health.

Hearing Aid Compatibility in the US
In the US, specific hearing aid compatibility (HAC) performance
ratings can help clarify how certain wireless phones and hearing aids
may perform together. HAC compliant wireless phones are capable
of working with hearing aids that have a minimal immunity rating of
at least 2. The immunity rating indicates how susceptible a hearing
aid is to picking up interference from a digital wireless phone. It can
rate the performance of the hearing aid for either microphone
and/or telecoil coupling. Some hearing aids are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The US
performance rating system for HAC compliant wireless phones is as follows:
The “M” (microphone) indicates that the product has been tested and rated for acoustic
coupling. The “T” (telecoil) represents that the product has been tested and rated for
inductive coupling. The higher the “M” or “T” rating, the less likely the hearing aid user will
experience interference when the hearing aid is set to the respective microphone or telecoil
mode. The highest values to date are 3 and 4 (e.g., “M4” or “M3/T3”).
To determine if a product is rated for HAC, please look for the HAC rating or logo on the
phone’s packaging. For a list of current HAC models, visit
www.motorola.com/hacphones.
Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing aid and hearing loss. If your hearing aid
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. To couple the device to your telecoil equipped hearing aid, switch your
hearing aid to the “T” or telecoil setting. Then, enable the ‘Hearing Aid’ mode feature on your
Motorola phone with the following sequence: Apps > Phone > Menu > Settings
> Hearing aids.
Motorola Mobility hearing aid compatible phones have 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. Contact your service provider or Motorola for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, contact your service
provider or phone retailer.
