Important Information for the LS995 192
T-Ratings: Phones 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 phones. (T4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Note: HAC statement
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies
used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important
to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your
hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise.
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless
phones and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for
the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine
probable usability:
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for
―excellent use.‖ This is synonymous for T ratings.
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or
M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should
you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your
phone, promptly return it to the store within 14 days of purchase. (A restocking fee may be
applied to exchanges. Visit sprint.com/returns for details.) More information about hearing aid
compatibility may be found at: fcc.gov, fda.gov, and accesswireless.org.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Phone
To further minimize interference:
Set the phone‘s display and keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time
interval:
1. Press > and tap System settings > Display > Screen timeosut.
2. Tap the minimum time interval setting.
Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.
Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.
When you‘re talking over the cell phone, it‘s recommended you‘d turn the second
transmitters such as BT (Bluetooth) or WLAN mode off for HAC.
