FOR YOUR SAFETY
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 in nding 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.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids
for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However,

phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing
aids. It is important to try the dierent features of this phone

or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering
noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of
this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you
have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your
service provider or phone retailer.
