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 been tested yet for
use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone
thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service
provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult
your service provider or phone retailer.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to
generate less interference with 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 better/higher of the two ratings. (Note
that not all hearing devices contain telecoils.)
Your Z988 has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an
M4/T3 rating.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of
interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional
may help you nd results for your hearing device.
For additional information about the FCC’s actions with regard to hearing
aid compatible wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure
that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services,

Turning on the HAC setting
To turn on the HAC function, press the Home key > >
> Settings > Call
settings, and check Hearing aids.
This section applies to T-Rating only and hearing aids that contain telecoils.
When the HAC setting is on, your phone sends the audio from your phone
calls to the telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid.
You are likely to hear calls much better because volume is increased and
background noise and feedback are diminished. The HAC setting improves
only the calls you listen to through the earpiece. It does not affect calls heard
on the speaker or with a headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch
your battery consumption when it’s turned on.
Caution: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing aid with a
telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid without
a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing.
