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 off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one 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 different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices
The FCC has adopted rules to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications
services for persons with hearing disabilities. As part of this effort, the industry uses a
rating system for wireless phones to help hearing device users find phones that may be
compatible with their hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants). This
hearing-aid compatibility (HAC) rating system is described in the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard and includes the following ratings:
M-Ratings:
For phones that use acoustic coupling with hearing devices that are not
operating in telecoil mode.
Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC HAC requirements and
are likely to generate less radio frequency interference with hearing devices than
phones with lower ratings. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your
0PM9310
is
rated
M4.
T-Ratings:
For phones that use inductive coupling with hearing devices operating in
telecoil mode.
Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC HAC requirements and are likely to be
more usable with a hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated. T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings. Your
0PM9310
is rated
T4.
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.
The ratings are not guarantees. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the
best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. Results will vary depending on a user’s
hearing device and hearing loss. For example, if some wireless phones are used near
some hearing devices, 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. If your hearing device happens
to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully.
