Hearing Aid Compatibility
Your mobile device model complies with FCC rules governing hearing aid compatibility with
hearing aids operating in microphone mode. These rules require phone models to fulfil the
telephone near field category M3 or higher category. The M-value, shown on the device box,
refers to lower radio frequency (RF) emissions. A higher M-value generally indicates that a
device model has a lower RF emissions level, which may improve the likelihood that the
device will operate with certain hearing aids. Some hearing aids are more immune than
others are to interference. Please consult your hearing health professional to determine the
M rating of your hearing aid and whether your hearing aid will work with this device.
GSM networks in the United States utilize 850 and 1900 MHz bands. Your phone operates on
both bands, and is enhanced with a "hearing aid mode" to activate if needed. In this mode,
the phone reduces the maximum power that it can use when operating in the GSM 850 MHz
band, thus potentially reducing interference with a hearing aid. When your phone is
operating in the GSM 1900 MHz band, using the hearing aid mode does not impact the
phone's operations. There is also no benefit to using the hearing aid mode if you do not wear
hearing aids.
The type of hearing aid and how far the phone is from a network base station both contribute
to whether the hearing aid mode is beneficial. Hearing aid users should experiment with use
of the hearing aid mode to determine whether it affects the operation of their hearing aids
while using the mobile phone.
Activate the hearing aid mode
Select Menu > Settings > Enhancement settings > Hearing aid > On.
An "ear" icon is displayed on the start screen.
If you make an emergency call to 911 while the phone is in the hearing aid mode, the phone
will use as much power as it needs (up to the maximum available) to connect the call.
