    A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 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 defined as a signal quality that’s acceptable for 
    normal operation.
    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.
    To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is maintained, 
    secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth and WLAN components must be 
    disabled during a call.

    Caution:  
    Av oid potential hearing loss.
    Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common 
    cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using 
    portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular telephones, at 
    high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced 
    hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and 
    Bluetooth or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been 
    associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to 
    sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss 
    and other potential hearing problems varies.
    The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on 
    the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the headphones. You 
    should follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable 
    audio device:
    •	 Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which 
    you can hear adequately.
    •	 When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people 
    speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are 
    listening to.
    •	 Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose 
    to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-canceling 
    headphones to block out background environmental noise.
    •	 Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is 
    required before your hearing could be affected.
    •	 Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock 
    concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss 
    might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
    •	 Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience 
    ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing 
    difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and 
    consult your doctor.

    TIA Safety Information
    The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld phones.
    Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
    Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter and 
    receiver. When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.
    In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted 
    RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those 
    guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and 
    international standards bodies:
    ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
    NCRP Report 86 (1986)
    ICNIRP (1996)
    * American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection 
    and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation 
    Protection.
    Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the 
    relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and 
    physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed 
    the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
    The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
    Tips on Efficient Operation
    For your phone to operate most efficiently:
    Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the 
    antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power 
    level than otherwise needed.  
    						
    							For Your Safety163
    Electronic Devices
    Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain 
    electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless 
    phone.
    Pacemakers
    The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum 
    separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless 
    phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. 
    These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and 
    recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
    Persons with pacemakers:
    •	 Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their pacemaker 
    when the phone is turned ON;
    •	 Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
    •	 Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for 
    interference;
    •	 Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that 
    interference is taking place.
    Hearing Aids
    Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event 
    of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the 
    customer service line to discuss alternatives).
    Other Medical Devices
    If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your 
    device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your 
    physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
    Health Care Facilities
    Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these 
    areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment 
    that could be sensitive to external RF energy.  
    						
    							For Your Safety164
    Vehicles
    RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic 
    systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative 
    regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment 
    that has been added to your vehicle.
    Posted Facilities
    Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
    Aircraft
    FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone 
    before boarding an aircraft.
    Blasting Areas
    To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a 
    “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and 
    instructions.
    Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
    Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere 
    and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion 
    or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive 
    atmosphere are often, but not always marked clearly. Potential areas may include: 
    fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical 
    transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as 
    propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as 
    grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be 
    advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
    For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
    An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed 
    or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag 
    deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air 
    bag inflates, serious injury could result.

    FDA Consumer Update
    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health 
    Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:
    1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
    The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are 
    associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless 
    phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency 
    (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low 
    levels of RF when in standby mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health 
    effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating 
    effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF 
    exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested 
    that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed 
    by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in 
    reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
    2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless 
    phones?
    Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer 
    products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new 
    drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if 
    wireless phones are shown to emit Radio Frequency (RF) energy at a level that is 
    hazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of 
    wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall 
    the phones so that the hazard no longer exists. Although the existing scientific 
    data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the wireless phone 
    industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
    •	 Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type 
    emitted by wireless phones;
    •	 Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user 
    that is not necessary for device function; and
    •	 Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible 
    information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.
