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 www.sonyericsson-snc.com.
