366 Section 8A: Important Safety Information
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device
Your Treo™ 700wx smart device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid
Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For additional HAC information, including the
HAC rating of this product, please go to
www.palm.com/treoHAC
.
Your device has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When 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 ratings for some of their wireless
phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible
with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have
been rated will have an “M3” or “M4” rating on the box.
Your Treo700wx smart
device phone has an M3 rating.
The M3/M4 ratings do not guarantee successful interoperation between your
phone and a hearing aid device. Results will vary depending on the level of
immunity of your hearing device and degree of your hearing loss.
The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience
interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have
ratings similar to those of phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for
the rating of your aids. Most new hearing aids have at least an M2 immunity
Note: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings.
