Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and mobile devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The mobile devices industry has developed ratings for some of their products, to assist hearing device users in finding products that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated. Products that are rated have the rating on their box or a label on the box. To maintain the published Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) rating for this mobile device, use only the original equipment battery model. This mobile device 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 device that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this product thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Contact your service provider or Motorola for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, contact your service provider or retailer. 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 mobile device successfully. Trying out the product with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. M-Ratings: Products rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than products that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Products 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 products. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile devices. 16

Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise,
and mobile devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The mobile devices industry has developed ratings for some of their products,
to assist hearing device users in finding products that may be compatible with
their hearing devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated. Products that
are rated have the rating on their box or a label on the box. To maintain the
published Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) rating for this mobile device, use
only the original equipment battery model.
This mobile device 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 device that have not been tested yet

cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Contact your
service provider or Motorola for information on hearing aid compatibility. If
you have questions about return or exchange policies, contact your service

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 mobile device
successfully. Trying out the product with your hearing device is the best way to

M-Ratings: Products rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to

not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of
interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional
may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your
hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from
mobile devices.
