There is no special handling required by consumers. Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones Some Motorola HearingAidCompatibility phones are measured for compatibility with hearing aids. If the box for your particular model has "Rated for Hearing Aids" printed on it, the following explanation applies. When some mobile 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 ratings for some of their mobile 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 on the box. To maintain the published Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) rating for this mobile phone, use only the original equipment battery model. 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 different features of this phone 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 phone 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 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 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.) 16

Hearing Aid Compatibility
Some Motorola phones are measured for compatibility with hearing aids. If the box for
your particular model has “Rated for Hearing Aids” printed on it, the following explanation
applies.
When some mobile 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 ratings for some of their mobile 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 on the box. To maintain the published Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) rating
for this mobile phone, use only the original equipment battery model.
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 different features of this phone 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 phone
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 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 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.)
