FOR YOUR SAFETY
cochlear implants, digital wireless phones sometimes do because of
electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone’s antenna, backlight, or other
components. Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI
C63.19- 2011).
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (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 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 finding 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, 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 dierent features of
this phone thoroughly and in dierent locations, using your hearing aid or
cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult
Customer Service 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.
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
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
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.)
Your Consumer Cellular Link III meets the M4/T4 level rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer
or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. For more

DISTRACTIONS
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk
of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands-free kit) can
cause distraction and lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws
and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Operating Machinery
Full attention must be given to operating machinery in order to reduce the
risk of an accident.
