Important Safety Information Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device A number of phones offered by your service provider have been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability rating categories for both. Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users find phones thatmay be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your LG Marquee has an M4 and a T4 rating. These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. 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 for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (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.) Section 2A: Important Safety Information 53

Using Your Phone With a
Hearing Aid Device
A number of phones offered by your service provider have
been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When
some wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices
(including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may
detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of
the hearing device.
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard
C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of
measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to
determine usability rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist
hearing device users find phones thatmay be compatible
with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated
for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have
been rated have a label located on the box.
Your LG
Marquee has an M4 and a T4 rating
.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and individual type
and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly
vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a
higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in
the hearing device. 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
for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (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.)
