There is no guarantee, however, that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning on and turning o the equipment, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna, increase the separation between the equipment and receiver, connect the
equipment to an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is connected, or
consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.
US Information Concerning the Federal Communications Commission
(“FCC”) Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices
When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids and cochlear
implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are
more immune than others to this interference, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of
interference that they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding
wireless devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices
have been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box
together with other relevant approval markings.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and
hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a
rated wireless device successfully.
Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that the smartphone uses. However, other wireless technologies may be used
in this smartphone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try
the dierent features of your smartphone thoroughly and in dierent locations to determine
if you hear any interfering noise when using this smartphone with your hearing aid or cochlear
implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and exchange policies, and for
information about hearing aid compatibility.
Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone: M4/T3
How the ratings work
M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to
generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless devices that are not labeled. M4 is
the better or higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more
usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated
wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices
have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing
device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing
device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference
noise from wireless devices.
For more information about the actions that the FCC has taken with regard to hearing aid
compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that the FCC has taken to ensure that
individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services, reference ANSI
C63.19-2011, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
