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 to 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.T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 
meet FCC requirements and are 
likely to generate less interference 
to hearing devices than phones 
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 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. “Normal usage” in 
this context is defined as a signal

quality that’s 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.
When you're talking over the cell 
phone, it's recommended you'd 
turn the BT (Bluetooth) mode off 
for HAC.

Caution:  
Avoid potential hearing 
loss.
Prolonged exposure to loud 
sounds (including music) is 
the most common cause of 
preventable hearing loss. Some 
scientific research suggests that 
using portable audio devices, such 
as portable music players and 
cellular telephones, at high volume 
settings for long durations may 
lead to permanent noise-induced 
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 other potential 
hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced 
by a portable audio device varies 
depending on the nature of the 
sound, the device, the device 
settings and the headphones. You 
should follow some commonsense 
recommendations when using any 
portable audio device: 
						

							  91
•  Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the 
lowest volume at which you can 
hear adequately.
•  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.
•  Limit the amount of time you  listen. As the volume increases, 
less time is required before your 
hearing could be affected.
•  Avoid using headphones after  exposure to extremely loud 
noises, such as concerts, that 
might cause temporary hearing 
loss. Temporary hearing loss 
might cause unsafe volumes to 
sound normal. 
•  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.
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA 
Safety Information for wireless 
handheld phones. 
Exposure to Radio Frequency 
Signal
Your wireless handheld portable 
phone is a low power radio 
transmitter and receiver. When ON, 
it receives and sends out Radio 
Frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal 
Communications Commissions 
(FCC) adopted RF exposure 
guidelines with safety levels for 
handheld wireless phones. Those 
guidelines are consistent with the 
safety standards previously set 
by both U.S. and international 
standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
*   American National Standards 
Institute; National Council  
						

							Safety
92   
on Radiation Protection and 
Measurements; International 
Commission on Non-Ionizing 
Radiation Protection 
Those standards were based 
on comprehensive and periodic 
evaluations of the relevant 
scientific literature. For example, 
over 120 scientists, engineers, 
and physicians from universities, 
government health agencies, and 
industry reviewed the available 
body of research to develop the 
ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies 
with the FCC guidelines (and those 
standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an 
approved replacement antenna. 
Unauthorized antennas, 
modifications, or attachments 
could damage the phone and may 
violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the 
phone as you would any other 
telephone with the antenna 
pointed up and over your shoulder. Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most 
efficiently: 
Don’t touch the antenna 
unnecessarily when the phone is 
in use. Contact with the antenna 
affects call quality and may cause 
the phone to operate at a higher 
power level than otherwise needed.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment 
is shielded from RF signals. 
However, certain electronic 
equipment may not be shielded 
against the RF signals from your 
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers 
Association recommends that a 
minimum separation of six (6) 
inches be maintained between 
a handheld wireless phone and 
a pacemaker to avoid potential 
interference with the pacemaker. 
These recommendations are 
consistent with the independent 
research by and recommendations 
of Wireless Technology Research. 
Persons with pacemakers:
•  Should ALWAYS keep the phone 
more than six (6) inches from  
						

							  93
their pacemaker when the 
phone is turned ON;
•  Should not carry the phone in a  breast pocket;
•  Should use the ear opposite  the pacemaker to minimize the 
potential for interference;
•  Should turn the phone  OFF immediately if there is 
any reason to suspect that 
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may 
interfere with some hearing aids. In 
the event of such interference, you 
may want to consult your service 
provider (or call the customer 
service line to discuss alternatives). 
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal 
medical device, 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. 
Health Care Facilities
Turn 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 use 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
Turn your phone OFF in any facility 
where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using 
your phone while in the air. Switch 
OFF your phone before boarding 
an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting 
operations, turn your phone OFF 
when in a “blasting area” or in 
areas posted: “Turn off two-
way radio”. Obey all signs and 
instructions. 
						

							Safety
94  
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive 
atmosphere are often, but not 
always marked clearly. Potential 
areas may include: fueling areas 
(such as gasoline stations); below 
deck on boats; fuel or 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.
For Vehicles Equipped with an 
Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. 
DO NOT place objects, including 
either installed or portable wireless 
equipment, in the area over the air 
bag or in the air bag deployment 
area. If in-vehicle wireless 
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious 
injury could result.
