the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your

Hearing Aid Compatibility Rating
This model handset was designed to comply with the requirements set forth in Section
20.19 of the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) rules governing hearing aid
compatibility (HAC), for the reduction of RF interference and magnetic coupling (T-coil) to
hearing aids. The Microphone (M) rating and T-coil (T) rating is defined and labeled on
the handset box. Devices meeting HAC compliance must have a minimum M3 and/or T3
rating or above as defined by the FCC in accordance with the latest ANSI Standard
C63.19. The (M) rating refers to lower RF emission levels of the handset. The (T) rating
refers to the magnetic coupling between the handset and the T-coil compatible hearing
aid. Some hearing aids are also provided an (M) rating, and are more immune than
others to interference. To determine the (M) rating of your hearing aid, please contact
your hearing health professional. More information about digital wireless devices and
hearing aid compatibility can be found at
