Use with Hearing Aids – FCC
When some wireless devices 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 wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate. In the event of interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid supplier to discuss solutions.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Zebra terminals that are rated have the rating included on the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) at www.zebra.com/doc.
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.
ANSI C63.19 Rating System
In accordance with FCC hearing aid compatibility rules, certain phones be tested and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19 hearing-aid compatibility standard. This standard contains two types of ratings:

• M-Rating: For reduced radio-frequency interference to enable acoustic coupling with hearing aids that don’t operate in telecoil mode
• T-rating: For inductive coupling with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode (t-switch or telephone switch)

These ratings are on a scale from one to four, where four is the most compatible. A phone is considered hearing-aid compatible under the FCC requirements if it’s rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile phones.

Hearing Aid Compatibility
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations using your hearing aid or cochlear implant to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
