SAFETY
A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for 
best use.  In the above example, if a hearing aid meets 
the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 
level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5.  This 
should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” 
while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless 
phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a 
signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.  The M mark is intended 
to be synonymous with the U mark.  The T mark is intended to be synonymous 
with the UT mark.  The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for 
Telecommunications Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are 
referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement 
procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 
C63.19 standard.

GAMES
SEIZURES/BLACKOUTS
Warning
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when 
exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns 
or backgrounds on a computer screen, or while playing video games, may induce 
an epileptic seizure in these individuals.  Certain conditions may induce previously 
undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior 
seizures or epilepsy.
If you, or anyone in your family, have an epileptic condition, consult your physician 
prior to playing. If you experience any of the following symptoms while playing 
a video or computer game -- dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, 
loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions -- 
IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your physician before resuming play.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional discomfort 
in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Follow these 
instructions to avoid problems such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or 
other musculoskeletal disorders:
• Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
•  If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest 
for several hours before playing again.
•  If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or after play, stop 
playing and see a doctor.
