47
Care and Maintenance 
						

							Turn on the HAC Setting
When the HAC setting is on, your phone sends the audio from your phone calls 
to the telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid . You are likely 
to hear calls much better because volume is increased and background noise 
and feedback are diminished . The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen 
to through the earpiece . It does not affect calls heard on the speakerphone or a 
headset . It’s better to turn off the Bluetooth function when the HAC setting is on . 
HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your battery consumption when it’s 
turned on .
Caution: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing aid with a 
telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid \
without a 
telecoil may be harmful to your hearing.

The network is busy at the current 
time (for example, during peak 
times there may be too much 
network traffic to handle additional 
calls) . Avoid using the phone at such times, 
or try again after waiting a short time .
