Safety warnings Keep your phone away from small children and pets Keep your phone and all accessories out of the reach of small children or animals. Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed. Protect your hearing

Excessive exposure t o sound at high volum es can cause hearing dam age. Always turn t he volum e down before plugging t he earphones into an audio source and use only the m inim um volum e sett ing necessary t o hear your conversat ion or m usic. Install mobile phones and equipment with caution Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment installed in your vehicle are securely mounted. Avoid placing your phone and accessories near or in an air bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause serious injury when air bags inflate rapidly. Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care z Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers specifically designed for your phone. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries or damage to your phone. z Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all local regulations when disposing used batteries or phones. z Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated. z Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to high external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and overheating. Avoid interference with pacemakers Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile phones and pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as recommended by manufacturers and the independent research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you have any reason to suspect that your phone is interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn off the phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker or medical device for guidance. Turn off the phone in potentially explosive environments Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service stations) or near fuels or chemicals. Turn off your phone whenever directed by warning signs or instructions. Your phone could cause explosions or fire in and around fuel or chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories. Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries When sending text messages or playing games on your phone, hold the phone with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, use special features that reduce the number of keys you have to press (such as templates and predictive text), and take frequent breaks.

Safety precautions Drive safely at all times Avoid using your phone while driving and obey all regulations that restrict the use of mobile phones while driving. Use hands-free accessories to increase your safety when possible. Follow all safety warnings and regulations Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a mobile phone in a certain area. Use only Samsung-approved accessories Using incompatible accessories may damage your phone or cause injury. Turn off the phone near medical equipment Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all regulations, posted warnings, and directions from medical personnel. Turn off the phone or disable the wireless functions when in an aircraft Your phone can cause interference with aircraft equipment. Follow all airline regulations and turn off your phone or switch to a mode that disables the wireless functions when directed by airline personnel. Protect batteries and chargers from damage Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or above 45° C/ 113° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity and life of your batteries. Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects, as this can create a connection between the + and - terminals of your batteries and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage. Never use a damaged charger or battery. Handle your phone carefully and sensibly Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can cause serious damage. Do not handle your phone with wet hands. Water damage to your phone can void your manufacturer’s warranty. z Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas to prevent damage to moving parts. z Your phone is a complex electronic device— protect it from impacts and rough handling to avoid serious damage. z Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation. z Avoid using the phone’s camera flash or light close to the eyes of children or animals. z Your phone and memory cards may be damaged by exposure to magnetic fields. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow your phone to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended

periods of time. Avoid interference with other electronic devices Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with unshielded or improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference problems you experience. Important usage information Use your phone in the normal position Avoid contact with your phone’s internal antenna. Allow only qualified personnel to service your phone Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone may result in damage to your phone and will void your warranty. Ensure maximum battery and charger life z Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten battery life. z Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use. z Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use. z Use batteries only for their intended purpose. Handle SIM cards and memory cards with care z Do not remove a card while the phone is transferring or accessing information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the card or phone. z Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from other devices. z Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory cards. z Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with your fingers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth. Ensure access to emergency services Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible in some areas or circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel. Health and safety information Ex posure t o Ra dio Fre que ncy ( RF) Signals Cert ifica t ion I nform ation ( SAR) Your wireless phone is a radio transm it ter and receiver. I t is designed and

m anufact ured not t o exceed t he exposure lim its for radio frequency ( RF) energy set by t he Federal Com m unications Com m ission ( FCC) of t he U.S. governm ent . These FCC exposure lim its are derived from t he recom m endat ions of t wo expert organizations, t he Nat ional Counsel on Radiation Prot ect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nstit ut e of Elect rical and Elect ronics Engineers ( I EEE) . I n bot h cases, the recom m endat ions were developed by scient ific and engineering expert s drawn from industry, governm ent, and academ ia after ext ensive reviews of t he scientific lit erat ure related t o t he biological effect s of RF energy. The exposure lim it set by t he FCC for wireless m obile phones em ploys a unit of m easurem ent known as t he Specific Absorption Rat e ( SAR). The SAR is a m easure of t he rate of absorpt ion of RF energy by t he hum an body expressed in units of wat ts per kilogram ( W/ kg) . The FCC requires wireless phones t o com ply wit h a safet y lim it of 1.6 watt s per kilogram ( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporat es a subst antial m argin of safet y t o give additional protect ion t o the public and to account for any variations in m easurem ents. SAR test s are conduct ed using st andard operating positions accepted by the FCC with t he phone transm itting at its highest certified power level in all t ested frequency bands. Although t he SAR is det erm ined at the highest cert ified power level, the act ual SAR level of t he phone while operating can be well below the m axim um value. This is because the phone is designed t o operate at m ultiple power levels so as to use only t he power required t o reach t he network. I n general, the closer you are t o a wireless base stat ion ant enna, the lower t he power out put . Before a new m odel phone is available for sale to the public, it m ust be tested and cert ified to the FCC that it does not exceed t he exposure lim it est ablished by the FCC. Test s for each m odel phone are perform ed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on t he body) as required by t he FCC. For body worn operat ion, t his m odel phone has been tested and m eets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Sam sung accessory designated for t his product or when used with an accessory that contains no m et al and that posit ions t he handset a m inim um of 1.0 cm from the body. Non- com pliance wit h t he above rest rictions m ay result in violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR inform at ion on this and ot her m odel phones can be viewed on- line at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. This site uses the phone FCC I D num ber, A3LSGHT959P. Som et im es it m ay be necessary t o rem ove t he batt ery pack to find t he num ber. Once you have the FCC I D num ber for a part icular phone, follow t he inst ruct ions on the websit e and it should provide values for t ypical or m axim um SAR for a particular phone. Additional product specific SAR inform at ion can also be obtained at

www.fcc.gov/ cgb/ sar. Consum er I nform ation on W ir ele ss Phones The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist ration (FDA) has published a series of Questions and Answers for consum ers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes t he following inform at ion: W hat kinds of phone s are t he subj ect of t his update? The t erm wireless phone refers here t o hand- held wireless phones with built-in ant ennas, often called “ cell,” “ m obile,” or “ PCS” phones. These types of wireless phones can expose t he user t o m easurable radio frequency energy ( RF) because of t he short dist ance bet ween the phone and the user's head. These RF exposures are lim ited by Federal Com m unications Com m ission safety guidelines t hat were developed with the advice of FDA and ot her federal healt h and safet y agencies. When t he phone is located at greater dist ances from t he user, the exposure t o RF is drast ically 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 connect ed t o the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and t hus produce RF exposures well wit hin the FCC's com pliance lim its. Do w ir ele ss ph ones pose a h ea lt h hazar d? The available scient ific evidence does not show t hat any health problem s are associated wit h using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones em it low levels of radio frequency energy ( RF) in t he m icrowave range while being used. They also em it very low levels of RF when in the st and- by m ode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effect s ( by heat ing tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effect s causes no known adverse healt h effect s. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effect s. Som e studies have suggest ed that som e biological effect s m ay occur, but such findings have not been confirm ed by additional research. I n som e cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing t hose studies, or in det erm ining t he reasons for inconsist ent results. W hat is FD A's role concer ning t he sa fet y of w ireless phone s? Under the law, FDA does not review the safet y of radiation- em itting consum er product s such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does wit h new drugs or m edical devices. However, t he agency has aut hority to take act ion if wireless phones are shown t o em it radio frequency energy ( RF) at a level that is hazardous t o t he user. I n such a case, FDA could require the m anufact urers of w ireless phones to not ify users of t he health hazard and to repair, replace or recall t he phones so that the hazard no longer exist s. Alt hough t he exist ing scientific data do not j ust ify FDA regulatory act ions, FDA has urged t he wireless phone industry to take a num ber of st eps,

including the following: z “ Support needed research int o possible biological effect s of RF of the type em it t ed by wireless phones; z “ Design wireless phones in a way t hat m inim izes any RF exposure to the user t hat is not necessary for device funct ion; and z “ Cooperat e in providing users of wireless phones wit h t he best possible inform at ion on possible effect s of wireless phone use on hum an healt h. FDA belongs to an int eragency working group of the federal agencies t hat have responsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safet y to ensure coordinated efforts at t he federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group: z “ Nat ional I nstit ute for Occupational Safet y and Healt h z “ Environm ent al Prot ect ion Agency z “ Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission z “ Occupational Safet y and Health Adm inist ration z “ Nat ional Telecom m unications and I nform at ion Adm inist ration The National I nstit ut es of Health part icipat es in som e interagency working group act ivities, as well. FDA shares regulat ory responsibilities for wireless phones with t he Federal Com m unications Com m ission (FCC). All phones t hat are sold in the United St ates m ust com ply wit h FCC safety guidelines that lim it RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safet y quest ions about wireless phones. FCC also regulat es the base st ations t hat the wireless phone networks rely upon. While t hese base st at ions operat e at higher power than do t he wireless phones t hem selves, the RF exposures t hat people get from these base stat ions are t ypically t housands of tim es lower than t hose they can get from wireless phones. Base stat ions are t hus not t he prim ary subj ect of t he safet y quest ions discussed in this docum ent . W hat ar e the r esult s of t he rese arch done already? The research done thus far has produced conflict ing result s, and m any studies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m et hods. Anim al experim ent s invest igat ing the effect s of radio frequency energy ( RF) exposures charact eristic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing results that oft en cannot be repeat ed in ot her laboratories. A few anim al studies, however, have suggest ed t hat low levels of RF could accelerate the developm ent of cancer in laborat ory anim als. However, m any of t he studies t hat showed increased tum or developm ent used anim als t hat had been genet ically engineered or t reated with cancer- causing chem icals so as to be pre-disposed t o develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Ot her studies exposed the anim als t o RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not sim ilar t o t he conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we don't know with cert aint y what the results of such studies m ean for hum an health.

Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber 2000. Between t hem , the studies invest igat ed any possible associat ion bet ween t he use of wireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, gliom a, m eningiom a, or acoust ic neurom a, t um ors of t he brain or salivary gland, leukem ia, or other cancers. None of t he studies dem onstrat ed t he existence of any harm ful health effect s from wireless phones RF exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answer quest ions about long- term exposures, since t he average period of phone use in t hese studies was around three years. W hat re sear ch is needed t o decide w hether RF exposure from w ireless phone s poses a hea lth risk? A com bination of laboratory studies and epidem iological st udies of people act ually using wireless phones would provide som e of t he data t hat are needed. Lifetim e anim al exposure studies could be com plet ed in a few years. However, very large num bers of anim als would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer prom ot ing effect if one exists. Epidem iological st udies can provide data t hat is directly applicable t o hum an populat ions, but ten or m ore years' follow- up m ay be needed t o provide answers about som e health effect s, such as cancer. This is because the int erval bet ween the tim e of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the tim e tum ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any years. The int erpret ation of epidem iological studies is ham pered by difficulties in m easuring act ual RF exposure during day-t o-day use of wireless phones. Many fact ors affect t his m easurem ent , such as t he angle at which t he phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used. W hat is FD A doing t o find out m ore a bout th e possible healt h effect s of w irele ss phone RF? FDA is working with t he U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and with groups of invest igat ors around the world t o ensure t hat high priorit y anim al studies are conduct ed t o address im port ant questions about t he effect s of exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF). FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization internat ional Elect rom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of t his work has been the developm ent of a det ailed agenda of research needs that has driven the est ablishm ent of new research program s around t he world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public inform at ion docum ent s on EMF issues. FDA and Cellular Telecom m unications & I nt ernet Association ( CTI A) have a form al Cooperative Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) t o do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he scientific oversight, obtaining input from expert s in governm ent , industry, and academ ic organizations. CTI A- funded research is conduct ed through cont ract s t o independent invest igat ors. The initial research will include both laborat ory studies and st udies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessm ent of additional research needs in the

cont ext of the lat est research developm ents around t he world. W hat st eps ca n I t a ke t o re duce m y e xposur e to ra dio fre que ncy en er gy from m y w ire less phone ? I f t here is a risk from these product s - and at this point we do not know that there is - it is probably very sm all. But if you are concerned about avoiding even pot ential risks, you can t ake a few sim ple steps t o m inim ize your exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF). Since t im e is a key factor in how m uch exposure a person receives, reducing the am ount of tim e spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. z “ I f you m ust conduct extended conversat ions by wireless phone every day, you could place m ore dist ance between your body and the source of t he RF, since the exposure level drops off dram atically wit h dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connect ed to a rem ote antenna. Again, the scient ific dat a do not dem onstrate t hat wireless phones are harm ful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these product s, you can use m easures like those described above t o reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use. W hat about children using w ir eless phone s? The scient ific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children and teenagers. I f you want to take steps t o lower exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) , t he m easures described above would apply to children and t eenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the tim e of wireless phone use and increasing the dist ance bet ween t he user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure. Som e groups sponsored by other national governm ent s have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple, the governm ent in t he United Kingdom dist ributed leaflet s cont aining such a recom m endation in Decem ber 2000. They noted t hat no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain t um ors or other ill effect s. Their recom m endat ion t o lim it wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exist s. Do hands- fr ee kits for w irele ss phone s r educe risk s fr om exposure t o RF em issions? Since there are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe that hands- free kits reduce risks. Hands- free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and com fort. These system s reduce the absorpt ion of RF energy in t he head because the phone, which is t he source of t he RF em issions, will not be placed against t he head. On t he other hand, if t he phone is m ount ed against t he waist or ot her part of t he body during use, then t hat part of the body will absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arket ed in the U.S. are required t o m eet safet y requirem ents regardless of whether they

are used against t he head or against t he body. Either configuration should result in com pliance wit h the safet y lim it . Do w ir ele ss phone accessories t hat claim t o shield t he hea d from RF radia t ion w ork? Since there are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe that accessories that claim to shield t he head from those em issions reduce risks. Som e product s t hat claim t o shield the user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while others involve not hing m ore than a m etallic accessory at t ached to the phone. Studies have shown t hat these product s generally do not work as advert ised. Unlike “ hand- free” kits, t hese so-called “ shields” m ay int erfere with proper operation of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced to boost it s power to com pensat e, leading t o an increase in RF absorption. I n February 2002, the Federal t rade Com m ission ( FTC) charged two com panies t hat sold devices t hat claim ed to protect wireless phone users from radiat ion wit h m aking false and unsubst antiated claim s. According to FTC, these defendant s lacked a reasonable basis t o substantiate t heir claim . W hat about w ireless phone int erference w it h m edica l equipm ent? Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can int eract with som e elect ronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed t est m ethod t o m easure elect rom agnetic int erference ( EMI ) of im plant ed cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators from wireless t elephones. This t est m ethod is now part of a standard sponsored by t he Association for t he Advancem ent of Medical instrum ent ation ( AAMI ) . The final draft , a j oint effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and m any other groups, was com pleted in lat e 2000. This st andard will allow m anufact urers t o ensure that cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI . FDA has tested wireless phones and helped develop a volunt ary st andard sponsored by the I nstit ute of Electrical and Elect ronic Engineers ( I EEE) . This standard specifies t est m et hods and perform ance requirem ents for hearing aids and wireless phones so t hat no int erference occurs when a person uses a com patible phone and a com patible hearing aid at t he sam e tim e. This standard was approved by t he I EEE in 2000. FDA cont inues to m onit or the use of wireless phones for possible interact ions wit h other m edical devices. Should harm ful int erference be found t o occur, FDA will conduct t est ing t o assess t he int erference and work t o resolve t he problem .

But an im port ant responsibilit y accom panies t he benefits of wireless phones, one t hat every user m ust uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibilit y. When using your wireless phone behind t he wheel of a car, pract ice good com m on sense and rem em ber the following t ips: 1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial. I f available, these feat ures help you to place your call without t aking your at t ention off the road. 2. When available, use a hands- free device. I f possible, add an additional layer of convenience and safet y to your wireless phone with one of t he m any hands free accessories available today. 3. Posit ion your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able t o access your wireless phone without rem oving your eyes from the road. I f you get an incom ing call at an inconvenient tim e, let your voice m ail answer it for you. 4. Let the person you are speaking wit h know you are driving; if necessary, suspend t he call in heavy traffic or hazardous weat her conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous. 5. Do not t ake not es or look up phone num bers while driving. Jotting down a “ to do” list or flipping through your address book t akes at t ention away from your prim ary responsibilit y, driving safely. 6. Dial sensibly and assess t he t raffic; if possible, place calls when you are not m oving or before pulling int o t raffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be st ationary. I f you need t o m ake a call while m oving, dial only a few num bers, check the road and your m irrors, then cont inue. 7. Do not engage in st ressful or em otional conversations t hat m ay be

dist ract ing. Make people you are t alking with aware you are driving and suspend conversat ions t hat have the potent ial t o divert your at t ention from the road. 8. Use your wireless phone t o call for help. Dial 9-1- 1 or other local em ergency num ber in t he case of fire, traffic accident or m edical em ergencies. Rem em ber, it is a free call on your wireless phone! 9. Use your wireless phone to help others in em ergencies. I f you see an aut o accident , crim e in progress or ot her serious em ergency where lives are in danger, call 9- 1- 1 or other local em ergency num ber, as you would want others to do for you. 10. Call roadside assist ance or a special non- em ergency wireless assist ance num ber when necessary. I f you see a broken- down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken t raffic signal, a m inor traffic accident where no one appears inj ured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assist ance or other special non-em ergency num ber. “The w ir eless indust ry rem inds you to use your phone sa fely w hen driving.” For m ore inform a tion, ple a se call 1 - 8 8 8 - 9 0 1 - SAFE, or visit our w eb- sit e w w w .w ow - com .com Provided by th e Cellula r Telecom m unica t ions & I nter net Associa t ion Opera t ing Envir onm ent Rem em ber t o follow any special regulat ions in force in any area and always switch your phone off whenever it is forbidden t o use it, or when it m ay cause interference or danger.

Ba t t er y Preca ut ions

z Never use any charger or bat t ery that is dam aged in any way. z Use the batt ery only for its intended purpose. z I f you use the phone near t he network's base st ation, it uses less power; t alk and standby t im e are great ly affect ed by t he signal strengt h on t he cellular network and the param eters set by the network operator. z Battery charging t im e depends on t he rem aining battery charge and the type of battery and charger used. The bat t ery can be charged and discharged hundreds of t im es, but it will gradually wear out. When t he operation tim e ( talk tim e and st andby t im e) is noticeably shorter t han norm al, it is tim e t o buy a new batt ery. z I f left unused, a fully charged batt ery will discharge itself over tim e. z Use only Sam sung- approved batteries and recharge your battery only with Sam sung- approved chargers.

Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones When some mobile 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 ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding 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 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 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.) Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile phones. 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.
