Whilesomewirelessphones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 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nd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nd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issynonymousforTratings.Thisshouldprovidethehearingaid

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

including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Your mobile device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When
itisON,itreceivesandalsosendsoutradiofrequency(RF)signals.In
August1996,theFederalCommunicationsCommission(FCC)adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile devices. Those
guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S.
andinternationalstandardsbodies:AmericanNationalStandardInstitute
(ANSI),NationalCouncilofRadiationProtectionandMeasurements
(NCRP),andInternationalCommissiononNon-IonizingRadiation

Statement according to FCC part 15.105
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limitsforaClassBdigitaldevice,pursuanttoPart15oftheFCCRules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to
which the receiver is connected.
