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
