Hearing aid compatibility
Your mobile device model complies
with FCC rules governing hearing aid
compatibility. These rules require an
M3 microphone or higher value. The
M-value, shown on the device box,
refers to lower radio frequency (RF)
emissions. A higher M-value
generally indicates that a device
model has a lower RF emissions
level, which may improve the
likelihood that the device will operate
with certain hearing aids. Some
hearing aids are more immune
than others to interference. Please
consult your hearing health
professional to determine the
M-rating of your hearing aid and
whether your hearing aid will work
with this device.

Certification information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines
for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves
recommended by international
guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent
scientific organization ICNIRP and
include safety margins designed to
assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile
devices employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR
limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines
is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over 1 grams of tissue. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency
bands. The actual SAR level of an
Additional safety information 57
operating device can be below the
maximum value because the device
is designed to use only the power
required to reach the network. That
amount changes depending on a
number of factors such as how close
you are to a network base station.
Use of device accessories and
enhancements may result in dierent
SAR values. SAR values may vary
depending on national reporting and
testing requirements and the network
band. Additional SAR information may
be provided under product
information at.
Your mobile device is also designed
to meet the requirements for
exposure to radio waves established
by the Federal Communications
Commission (USA) and Industry
Canada. These requirements set a
SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over
one gram of tissue. The highest SAR
value reported under this standard
during product certification for use at
the ear is 0.833W/Kg and when
properly worn on the body is
0.304W/Kg.

FCC hearing-aid compatibility
(HAC) regulations for wireless
devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
Report and Order in WT Docket
01-309 modified the exception of
wireless phones under the Hearing
Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC
Act) to require digital wireless phones
be compatible with hearing-aids. The
intent of the HAC Act is to ensure
reasonable access to
telecommunications services for
persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are
used near some hearing devices
60 Additional safety information
(hearing aids and cochlear implants),
users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some
hearing devices are more immune
than others to this interference noise,
and phones also vary in the amount
of interference they generate. The
wireless telephone industry has
developed a rating system for
wireless phones, to assist hearing
device users find phones that may
be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all phones have been
rated. Phones that are rated have the
rating on their box or a label located
on the box. The ratings are not
guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing
device and hearing loss. If your
hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may
not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone
with your hearing device is the best
way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
M-Ratings: Phones
rated M3 or M4 meet
FCC requirements
and are likely to
generate less
interference to hearing devices than
phones that are not labeled. M4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated.
Your hearing device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may
help you find this rating. Higher
ratings mean that the hearing device
is relatively immune to interference
noise. The hearing aid and wireless
phone rating values are then added
together. A sum of 5 is considered
acceptable for normal use. A sum
of 6 is considered for best use. In
the above example, if a hearing aid
meets the M2 level rating and the
wireless phone meets the M3 level
rating, the sum of the two values
equal M5. This should provide the
hearing aid user with “normal
usage” while using their hearing aid
with the particular wireless phone.
Additional safety information 61
“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.
