Turning on the HAC Setting
To turn on the HAC function, touch the Home Key > Menu Key > Settings > Call settings
and tick the Hearing aids check box. For detailed information, refer to “Using Your Phone
With a Hearing Aid Device” on page 82.
This section applies to T-Rating only and hearing aids that contain telecoils. When the HAC
setting is on, your T-Mobile
®
Concord™ sends the audio from your phone calls to the
telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls much
better because volume is increased and background noise and feedback are diminished.
The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to through the earpiece. It does not
affect calls heard on the speaker or with a headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so
watch your battery consumption when it's turned on.
CAUTION: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil.
Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be
harmful to your hearing.

and lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws and regulations restricting the
use of wireless devices while driving.
Operating Machinery
Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce the risk of
an accident.
