Installing the Battery
Note: Your phone comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable standard
Li-Ion battery and travel adapter.

Important!: You must fully charge the battery the first time you use your phone,
otherwise you could damage the battery.

Removing the Battery

Caution!: The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic and could break
if your handset is dropped or if it receives significant impact or
excessive pressure, which could void the warranty (For more
information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 173.) Do not
use if screen is broken or cracked as this could cause injury to you.

Important!: You must unplug the adapter before removing the battery from the
phone during charging to avoid damage.

Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery.
Only use Samsung-approved charging devices and batteries.
Samsung accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Use of
other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause
damage.

Getting Started

Use the Travel Adapter
The travel adapter rapidly charges your phone from any 120/220 VAC
outlet.

Plug the large end of the Travel Adapter into a standard 120
VAC or 220 VAC wall outlet.

Important!: For connection to an electrical supply not located in North America,
you must use an adaptor of the proper configuration for the power
outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage your phone and void
your warranty.

Insert the smaller end of the Travel Adapter into the charger/
accessory connector on the lower right side of your phone.

Section 14: Health and Safety Information
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using
your phone. The terms “mobile device” or “cell phone” are used in
this section to refer to your phone. Read this information before using
your mobile device.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published
information for consumers relating to Radio Frequency (RF) exposure
from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the following
information:
Do cell phones pose a health hazard?
Many people are concerned that cell phone radiation will cause
cancer or other serious health hazards. The weight of scientific
evidence has not linked cell phones with any health problems.
Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Over the
past 15 years, scientists have conducted hundreds of studies looking
at the biological effects of the radio frequency energy emitted by cell
phones. While some researchers have reported biological changes
associated with RF energy, these studies have failed to be replicated.
The majority of studies published have failed to show an association
between exposure to radio frequency from a cell phone and health
problems.

Health and Safety Information

139

The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in use are in the
microwave frequency range. They also emit RF at substantially
reduced time intervals 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.
The biological effects of radio frequency energy should not be
confused with the effects from other types of electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays
and gamma rays, can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a process
where electrons are stripped away from their normal locations in
atoms and molecules. It can permanently damage biological tissues
including DNA, the genetic material.
The energy levels associated with radio frequency energy, including
both radio waves and microwaves, are not great enough to cause
ionization of atoms and molecules. Therefore, RF energy is a type of
non-ionizing radiation. Other types of non-ionizing radiation include
visible light, infrared radiation (heat), and other forms of
electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large amounts can
increase body temperatures and cause tissue damage. Two areas of
the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly vulnerable to RF
heating because there is relatively little blood flow in them to carry
away excess heat.
140

Research Results to Date: Is there a connection between
RF and certain health problems?

The results of most studies conducted to date say no. In addition,
attempts to replicate and confirm the few studies that have shown a
connection have failed.
The scientific community at large therefore believes that the weight
of scientific evidence does not show an association between
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse
health outcomes. Still the scientific community has supported
additional research to address gaps in knowledge. Some of these
studies are described below.
Interphone Study

Interphone is a large international study designed to determine
whether cell phones increase the risk of head and neck cancer. A
report published in the International Journal of Epidemiology (June,
2010) compared cell phone usage for more than 5,000 people with
brain tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a similar number of
healthy controls.
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused brain
cancer. In this study, most people had no increased risk of brain
cancer from using cell phones. For people with the heaviest use of
cell phones (an average of more than ½ hour per day, every day, for
over 10 years) the study suggested a slight increase in brain cancer.
However, the authors determined that biases and errors prevented
any conclusions being drawn from this data. Additional information

http://com.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/.
Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but it did not
answer all questions about cell phone safety. Additional research is
being conducted around the world, and the FDA continues to monitor
developments in this field.
International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)

The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring of a
large group of people to determine if there are any health issues
linked to long-term exposure to radio frequency energy from cell
phone use. The COSMOS study will follow approximately 300,000
adult cell phone users in Europe for 20 to 30 years. Additional
information about the COSMOS study can be found at http://
www.ukcosmos.org/index.html.
Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields in
Childhood and Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)

MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the relationship
between exposure to radio frequency energy from communication
technologies including cell phones and brain cancer in young people.
This is an international multi-center study involving 14 European and
non-European countries. Additional information about MOBI-KIDS can
be found at
http://www.creal.cat/programes-recerca/en_projectes-creal/
view.php?ID=39..
142

Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of
the National Cancer Institute

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer statistics in
the United States to detect any change in rates of new cases for brain
cancer. If cell phones play a role in risk for brain cancer, rates should
go up, because heavy cell phone use has been common for quite
some time in the U.S. Between 1987 and 2005, the overall ageadjusted incidence of brain cancer did not increase. Additional
information about SEER can be found at
http://seer.cancer.gov/.
Cell Phone Industry Actions

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, the FDA has urged the cell phone industry to take a number
of steps, including the following:
• Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for the type
of signal emitted by cell phones;
• Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user;
and
• Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current information
on cell phone use and human health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies such
as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards continue to
adequately protect the public.

Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other Accessories
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy (RF)
from cell phones - 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 RF
exposure.
• Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;
• Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between your head
and the cell phone.
Hands-Free Kits

Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth® headsets and
various types of body-worn accessories such as belt-clips and
holsters. Combinations of these can be used to reduce RF energy
absorption from cell phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the phone is
held away from the head in the user's hand or in approved body-worn
accessories. Cell phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet
RF exposure compliance requirements when used against the head
and against the body.
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions
from cell phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits
reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used for convenience and

144

comfort. They are also required by law in many states if you want to
use your phone while driving.
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the Head from
RF Radiation

Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions
from cell phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories which
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 “hands-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.
Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of cell
phones from RF exposure, including children and teenagers. The
steps adults can take to reduce RF exposure apply to children and
teenagers as well.
• Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;
• Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between the head
and the cell phone.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised
that children be discouraged from using cell phones at all. For
Health and Safety Information

145

example, The Stewart Report from the United Kingdom made such a
recommendation in December 2000. In this report, a group of
independent experts noted that no evidence exists that using a cell
phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation
to limit cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was
not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification
Information
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 Council 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).
Health and Safety Information

147

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 phone has been tested and meets FCC
RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains
no metal and that positions the mobile device a minimum of 1.5 cm
from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
148

the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values for this
model phone as reported to the FCC are:
• Head: 0.53 W/Kg.
• Body-worn: 0.80 W/Kg.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed
online at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea. To find information that pertains to
a particular model phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID number
which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone.
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 www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.

Smart Practices While Driving
On the Road - Off the Phone

The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of his
or her vehicle.
Responsible drivers understand that no secondary task should be
performed while driving whether it be eating, drinking, talking to
passengers, or talking on a mobile phone - unless the driver has
assessed the driving conditions and is confident that the secondary
task will not interfere with their primary responsibility. Do not engage
in any activity while driving a moving vehicle which may cause you to
take your eyes off the road or become so absorbed in the activity that
Health and Safety Information

149

your ability to concentrate on the act of driving becomes impaired.
Samsung is committed to promoting responsible driving and giving
drivers the tools they need to understand and address distractions.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their
accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of
these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. For
example, only hands-free use may be permitted in certain areas.
Before answering calls, consider your circumstances. Let the call go
to voicemail when driving conditions require. Remember, driving
comes first, not the call!
If you consider a call necessary and appropriate, follow these tips:
• Use a hands-free device;
• Secure your phone within easy reach;
• Place calls when you are not moving;
• Plan calls when your car will be stationary;
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations;
• Let the person with whom you are speaking know that you are driving and
will suspend the call if necessary;
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving;

Battery Use and Safety
Important!: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage. Most
battery issues arise from improper handling of batteries and,
particularly, from the continued use of damaged batteries.

• Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise attempt to

change the form of your battery. Do not put a high degree of pressure on
the battery. This can cause leakage or an internal short-circuit, resulting in
overheating.
• Do not let the phone or battery come in contact with liquids. Liquids
can get into the phone's circuits, leading to corrosion. Even when the phone
appears to be dry and appears to operate normally, the circuitry could
slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard. If the phone and/or battery get
Health and Safety Information

151

wet, have them checked by your service provider or contact Samsung,
even if they appear to be working properly.
• Do not place your battery in or near a heat source. Excessive heating
can damage the phone or the battery and could cause the phone or the
battery to explode. Do not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or
heat source such as a microwave oven, hair dryer, iron, or radiator. Avoid
leaving your phone in your car in high temperatures.
• Do not dispose of the phone or the battery in a fire. The phone or the
battery may explode when overheated.
• Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery. Do not let leaking battery
fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing. For safe disposal
options, contact your nearest Samsung-authorized service center.
• Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping the phone or the battery,
especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage to the phone
and battery. If you suspect damage to the phone or battery, take it to a
service center for inspection.
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
• Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects. Accidental
short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, key, jewelry, 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.

152

Important!: Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and recharge your battery only
with Samsung-approved chargers which are specifically designed for
your phone.

Warning!: Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or charger may present a risk of
fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Samsung's warranty does not
cover damage to the phone caused by non-Samsung-approved
batteries and/or chargers.

• Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers. Some

websites and second-hand dealers not associated with reputable
manufacturers and carriers, might be selling incompatible or even
counterfeit batteries and chargers. Consumers should purchase
manufacturer or carrier-recommended products and accessories. If unsure
about whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible, contact the
manufacturer of the battery or charger.
• Misuse or use of incompatible phones, batteries, and charging
devices could result in damage to the equipment and a possible risk
of fire, explosion, or leakage, leading to serious injuries, damages to
your phone, or other serious hazard.

GPS & AGPS
Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a Global Positioning System
(GPS) signal for location-based applications. A GPS uses satellites
controlled by the U.S. Government that are subject to changes
implemented in accordance with the Department of Defense policy
and the 2008 Federal Radio navigation Plan (FRP). Changes may
affect the performance of location-based technology on your mobile
device.
Certain Samsung mobile devices can also use an Assisted Global
Positioning System (AGPS), which obtains information from the
cellular network to improve GPS performance. AGPS uses your
wireless service provider's network and therefore airtime, data
charges, and/or additional charges may apply in accordance with
your service plan. Contact your wireless service provider for details.
Your Location

Location-based information includes information that can be used to
determine the approximate location of a mobile device. Mobile
devices which are connected to a wireless network transmit locationbased information. Additionally, if you use applications that require
location-based information (e.g. driving directions), such applications
transmit location-based information. The location-based information
Health and Safety Information

157

may be shared with third-parties, including your wireless service
provider, applications providers, Samsung, and other third-parties
providing services.
Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls

When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may activate
AGPS technology in your mobile device to tell the emergency
responders your approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore:
• Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your
ability; and
• Remain on the mobile device for as long as the emergency responder
instructs you.
Navigation

Maps, directions, and other navigation data may contain inaccurate
or incomplete data, and circumstances can and do change over time.
In some areas, complete information may not be available. Therefore,
you should always visually confirm that the navigational instructions
are consistent with what you see before following them. All users
should pay attention to road conditions, closures, traffic, and all other
factors that may impact safe driving or walking. Always obey posted
road signs.

Emergency Calls
This mobile device, like any wireless mobile device, operates using
radio signals, wireless and landline networks, as well as user158

programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all
conditions, areas, or circumstances. Therefore, you should never rely
solely on any wireless mobile device for essential communications
(medical emergencies, for example). Before traveling in remote or
underdeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of contacting
emergency services personnel. Remember, to make or receive any
calls, the mobile device must be switched on and in a service area
with adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless mobile device
networks or when certain network services and/or mobile device
features are in use. Check with local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1.

If the mobile device is not on, switch it on.

Enter the emergency number for your present location (for
example, 911 or other official emergency number) and press

. Emergency numbers vary by location. .
If certain features are in use (call blocking, for example), you may first
need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency
call. Consult your User Manual and your local cellular service
provider. When making an emergency call, remember to give all the

Care and Maintenance
Your mobile device 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 your Samsung Mobile Device away from:
Liquids of any kind
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and liquids
contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If the mobile
device does get wet, do not accelerate drying with the use of an
oven, microwave, or dryer, because this may damage the mobile
device and could cause a fire or explosion. Do not use the mobile
device with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock to
you or damage to the mobile device.
Extreme heat or cold
Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or above 45°C / 113°F.

160

Microwaves
Do not try to dry your mobile device in a microwave oven. Doing so
may cause a fire or explosion.
Dust and dirt
Do not expose your mobile device to dust, dirt, or sand.
Cleaning solutions
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents
to clean the mobile device. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly
dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.
Shock or vibration
Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile device. Rough handling
can break internal circuit boards.
Paint
Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the device’s moving
parts or ventilation openings and prevent proper operation.

Responsible Listening
Caution!: Avoid potential hearing loss.

Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud sounds
over time. The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is played
louder and for longer durations. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds
(including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing
Health and Safety Information

161

loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio
devices, such as portable music players and cell phones, at high
volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noiseinduced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including
headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices).
Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some
studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound,
and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced
hearing loss and potential hearing problem varies. Additionally, the
amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies
depending on the nature of the sound, the device settings, and the
headphones that are used. As a result, there is no single volume
setting that is appropriate for everyone or for every combination of
sound, settings, and equipment.

162

You should follow some common sense recommendations when
using any portable audio device:
• Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into an audio
source.
• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at
which you can hear adequately.
• Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over time, not
realizing that the higher volume may be harmful to your hearing.
• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the
people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what
you are listening to.
• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to
listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling
headphones to block out background environmental noise. By blocking
background environment noise, noise cancelling headphones should allow
you to hear the music at lower volumes than when using earbuds.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is
required before you hearing could be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as
rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing
loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.

Health and Safety Information

163

• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience

ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech, or experience any temporary
hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue
use and consult your doctor.

(RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
Health and Safety Information

165

shielded against the RF signals from your wireless mobile device.
Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Implantable Medical Devices

A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained
between a handheld wireless mobile device and an implantable
medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter
defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the device.
Persons who have such devices:
• Should ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than six (6) inches from their

implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON;
• Should not carry the mobile device in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the

potential for interference;
• Should turn the mobile device OFF immediately if there is any reason to

suspect that interference is taking place;
• Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your

implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your
wireless mobile device with an implantable medical device, consult your
health care provider.
For more information see: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html#.
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
166

obtaining this information. Switch your mobile device 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 before using your mobile
device in a motor vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer
of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities

Switch your mobile device off in any facility where posted notices
require you to do so.
Potentially Explosive Environments

Switch your mobile device 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 mobile device 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),
Health and Safety Information

167

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.

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 mobile devices under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of
1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless mobile devices 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 mobile devices 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 mobile devices
also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
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.

168

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: 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.
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.
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 mobile device rating
values are then added together.

Health and Safety Information

169

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 mobile device meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the
two values equal M5. This is synonymous for T ratings. This should
provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their
hearing aid with the particular wireless mobile device.
“Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal quality that is
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.

170

Restricting Children's Access to Your
Mobile Device
