Appendix 267
A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for
better use. A sum of 8 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 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.

part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards
previously set by international standards bodies:
