been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the dif-
ferent features of this phone thoroughly and in dierent locations,
using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear
any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufactur-
er of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you
have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your ser-
vice provider or phone retailer.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones
that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil (“T
Switch”or“Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the bet-
ter/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have
telecoils in them.)
Your phone meets the T3/M4 level rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer
or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. For more

In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones
compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Although analog
wireless phones do not usually cause interference with hearing aids
or cochlear implants, digital wireless phones sometimes do because
of electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone's antenna, backlight,
or other components. Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regula-
tions (ANSI C63.19- 2011). While 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 a rating system for 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 are rated have the rating on their box or a label
located on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hear-
ing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be
able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
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
