Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These
FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both
cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts
drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the
scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure
of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts
per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit
of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/ kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the 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.
This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as 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 new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the
FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC.
For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used with a Samsung accessory designated for this
product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions
the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed on-line at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use the phone FCC ID number for search,
A3LSMG935W8. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find
the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR
for a particular phone. Additional product specific SAR information can also be
obtained at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
DRAFT
AF
T,
ot
Fi
na
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of Questions
and Answers for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure from wireless
phones. The FDA publication includes the following information:
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held 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 energy (RF) because of
the short distance between the phone and the user's head. These RF exposures are
limited by Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were
developed with the advice of 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 well within the FCC's compliance limits.
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 stand-by 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.
What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, 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, 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, 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.
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
DRAFT
AF
T,
ot
Fi
na
 “Environmental Protection Agency
 “Federal Communications Commission
 “Occupational Safety and Health Administration
 “National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group
activities, as well.
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. FCC relies on FDA
and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
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 primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this
document.
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 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 pre-disposed to
develop cancer in 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
phones RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about
long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was
around three years.
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' 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
DRAFT
AF
T,
ot
Fi
na
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.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?
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 energy (RF).
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.
FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on
wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from
experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research
is conducted through contracts to 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.
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
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.
Again, the scientific data do 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.
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 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
DRAFT
AF
T,
ot
Fi
na
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.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to RF
emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones,
there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. 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.
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation
work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones,
there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from
those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF
absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a
metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these products
generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hand-free” kits, these so-called “shields”
may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may be forced to boost
its power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption. In February 2002,
the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that
claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with making false and
unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable
basis to substantiate their claim.
What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, 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 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. FDA has tested wireless phones and helped develop a
voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers

Road Safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice, almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving 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. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking
your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an additional layer
of convenience and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many
hands free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access your
wireless phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. 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, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to
do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be
stationary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
DRAFT
Fi
na
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend
conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency
number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in
danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want
others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance
number when necessary. 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 number.

Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch
your phone off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference
or danger. When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read its
user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating
position.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches)
be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
 should always keep the phone more than 15 cm
(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
 should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
 should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize potential interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your
phone off immediately.
Hearing Aids
DRAFT
na
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, 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. Switch 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 be using 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
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.

Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch 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.
Users are advised to switch the phone off while at a refueling point (service station).
Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
marked. They include below deck on boats, 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.
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and
landline networks as well as user programmed functions, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless
phone for essential communications (medical emergencies, for example).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched on and in a
service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on
all wireless phone networks or when certain network services and/ or phone features
are in use. Check with local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2. Key in the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911 or
other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
3. Press
If certain features are in use (call barring, for example), you may first need to
deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call. Consult this

document and your local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. Remember that your phone may be the only means of
communication at the scene of an accident; do not cut off the call until given
permission to do so.
Restricting Children's access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it because they
could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase
your phone bill.

Product Performance
Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your
area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number
of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the
signal.
If you're inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save
feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks
service availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen.
When a signal is found, your phone returns to standby mode.
Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance
For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service your
phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
 Place the mobile phone's acoustic output next to your ear for proper
orientation.
 Do not tamper or alter the phone's antenna.
 Don't use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
 Speak directly into the phone's receiver.
 Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your
phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.
If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for service.

Battery Precautions
 Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
 Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
 If you use the phone near the network's base station, it uses less power; talk
and standby time are greatly affected by the signal strength on the cellular
network and the parameters set by the network operator.
 Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge and the type
of battery and charger used. The battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time
(talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy
a new battery.
 If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
 Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge your battery only with
Samsung-approved chargers. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it
from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for
more than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.
 Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: it may
require cooling or warming first.
 Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a car in summer or
winter conditions, as you will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A phone with a hot or
cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged.
Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).
 Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short- circuiting can occur when a
metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes a direct connection between the +
and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery), for example when
you carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals
may damage the battery or the object causing the short-circuiting.
 Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. In some areas,
the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
For safe disposal options for Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Samsung
authorized service center. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a
fire.
Care and Maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated
with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill any warranty obligations and

allow you to enjoy this product for many years.
 Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small
children.
 Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that
will corrode electronic circuits.
 Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock
to you or damage to the phone.
 Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving parts may
be damaged.
 Do not store the phone in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life
of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
 Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone warms up to its
normal operating temperature, moisture can form inside the phone, which
may damage the phone's electronic circuit boards.
 Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards.
 Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean
the phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-andwater solution.
 Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the device's moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
 Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such as a microwave oven, a
stove or a radiator. The phone may explode when overheated.
 When the phone or battery gets wet, the label indicating water damage inside
the phone changes color. In this case, phone repairs are no longer
guaranteed by the manufacturer's warranty, even if the warranty for your
phone has not expired.
 If your phone has a flash or light, do not use it too close to the eyes of people
or animals. This may cause damage to their eyes.
 Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas or modified accessories may damage the phone and violate
regulations governing radio devices.
 If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is not working properly, take it
to your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there will assist you,
and if necessary, arrange for service.

FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established
requirements for digital wireless mobile devices to be compatible
with hearing aids and other assistive hearing devices.
When individuals employing some assistive hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants) use wireless mobile devices, they may
detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices
are more immune than others to this interference noise, and mobile
devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
ot
Fi
na
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for
wireless mobile devices to assist hearing device users find mobile
devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all
mobile devices have been rated. Mobile devices that are rated have
the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
AF
T,
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 mobile device successfully. Trying out the mobile device
with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
M-Ratings: Wireless mobile devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labeled. M4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings. M-ratings refer to enabling
acoustic coupling with hearing aids that do not operate in telecoil
mode.
DRAFT
ot
Fi
na
T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements
and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices
than mobile devices that are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of
the two ratings. T-ratings refer to enabling inductive coupling with
hearing aids operating in telecoil mode.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing aid manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher
ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to
interference noise.
Under the current industry standard, American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C63.19, the hearing aid and wireless mobile
device rating values are added together to indicate how usable
they are together. For example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level
rating and the wireless mobile device meets the M3 level rating,
the sum of the two values equals M5.
AF
T,
Under the standard, this should provide the hearing aid user with
normal use while using the hearing aid with the particular
wireless mobile device. A sum of 6 or more would indicate
excellent performance.
However, these are not guarantees that all users will be satisfied.
T ratings work similarly.
M3
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
DRAFT
HAC for Newer Technologies
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.
AF
T,
ot
Fi
na
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.
