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
