T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your device is rated T4.

Please power off the Bluetooth® function while using hearing aid devices with your 4043S.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you ﬁ nd this rating.

Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating

values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for better use.

A sum of 8 is considered for best use. In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone

meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage”

while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is deﬁ ned as a signal quality that

is acceptable for normal operation.

This methodology applies equally for T ratings. The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is

intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications

Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and

measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR

EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines

when used with the TCT Mobile Limited. Accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not

ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Your wireless mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits

for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits

are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are

based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992 .

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.

• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modiﬁ cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s

authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not

cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

Important Note

Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the

speciﬁ c operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance

requirements, please follow operation instruction as documented in this manual.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, except the transmitters

built-in with the device.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices

On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01- 09 modiﬁ ed the

exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be

compatible with hearing-aid. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons

with hearing disabilities. While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aid and cochlear implants),

users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference

noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating

system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device users ﬁ nd phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not

all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box. The ratings are not

guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be

vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device

is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than

phones that are not rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your device is rated M4.

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with

a hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated.
