Implantable Medical Devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and an
implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential
interference with the device.
Persons who have
such devices:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their implantable medical device when the phone is turned ON;
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
•
Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference;
•
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
•
Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device. if you have any questions
about using your wireless phone with such a device, consult your health care provider.

Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones
46
This Handset HAC Rating: M3/T4
Digital wireless telephones sometimes cause interference because of electromagnetic energy emitted by the telephone’s
antenna, backlight, or other components. To address this interference, the FCC has adopted specific hearing aid
compatibility rules for digital wireless telephones. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing
aids is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19.
Hearing aids operate in one of two modes – acoustic coupling or telecoil coupling. Thus, the ANSI standard C63.19 contains
two sets of standards: an “M” rating from one to four for reduced radio frequency (RF) interference to enable acoustic
coupling with hearing aids that do not operate in telecoil mode, and a “T” rating from one to four to enable inductive coupling
with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode. A digital wireless handset is considered hearing aid-compatible for acoustic
coupling if it meets an “M3” rating and for inductive coupling if it meets a “T3” rating.
Please be aware that some mobile phones allow users to make voice calls over a wireless broadband internet connection
(i.e. Wi-Fi) using what’s known as Unlicensed Mobile Access or UMA technology. Please note that such phones have been
tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies they use (i.e. GSM). However, there may be
some newer wireless technologies used in these phones that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids
(i.e. Wi-Fi or UMA). It is important to try the different features of these phones to determine if you hear any interfering noise.
Consult with the service representative or the phone manufacturer for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have
questions about return or exchange policies, please consult with a store representative.
