Using Your Phone With a Hearing
Aid Device
A number of Sprint Nextel phones have been tested for
hearing aid compatibility. When some wireless phones
are used with certain hearing aids, users may detect a
noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the
hearing aid.
Some hearing aids are more "immune" than others to
this interference noise, and phones can also vary in the
amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI
standard C63. 1 9 was developed to provide a
standardized means of measuring both mobile phone
and hearing aids to determine usability rating
categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to
assist hearing aid users find phones that may be
compatible with their hearing aid. Not all phones have
been rated for compatibility with hearing aids. Phones
that have been rated have a label with the rating(s)
located on the box, and at
www.motorola.com/accessibility.
These ratings are not guarantees of compatibility.
Results will vary depending on the user's hearing aid
and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a
hearing aid is particularly vulnerable to interference,
even a phone with a higher rating may still cause
unacceptable noise levels in the hearing aid. Trying out
the phone with your hearing aid is the best way to
evaluate it for your personal needs.
"M" Rating
: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing aids than
unrated phones. (M4 is the "better" or higher of the two
ratings.) On those models with an extendable antenna,
this rating is determined only with the antenna
extended.
Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
"T" Rating:
requirements and are likely to be more usable with a
Section 4A. Important Safety Information
