Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices Persons with pacemakers: • should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is switched on. • should not carry the phone in a breast pocket. • should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize potential interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your phone off immediately. Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones 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. 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.) 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 phones. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Persons with pacemakers:

•

should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker

when the phone is switched on.

•

should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

•

should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize potential interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your

phone off immediately.

Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones

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.

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.)

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 phones.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the manufacturer of your

device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
