Important Information for the LG LS992
134
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3
level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide
the hearing aid user with “normal
usage” while using
their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone.
“
Normal
usage” in this context is
defined as a signal
quality that’s acceptable for normal operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous
with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications
Industries Solutions (ATIS).
The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and
measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19
standard.
To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is maintained, secondary transmitters
such as Bluetooth
®
and WLAN components must be disabled during a call.
