This revision contains changes and additions that have occurred since the printing of your
phone user guide. This information supersedes the information in your manual.
The following section, Antenna, is added or changed as shown:
The retractable antenna on your phone is designed to be extended during calls and is essential
to attain the hearing aid compatibility rating on applicable models.
To extend the antenna, pull gently on the rounded tip until the antenna is fully extended and
clicks into position.
When finished with a call, retract the antenna by pushing gently on the rounded tip until the
antenna clicks into place.
To optimize your phone's performance, extend the antenna when you make or receive a call,
and avoid touching the antenna with any body part.
Important: Failure to fully extend or retract the antenna until the antenna clicks into
place causes severely degraded performance, which may result in missed calls,
dropped calls, or garbled audio.

Hearing Aid Compatibility
When some mobile 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 mobile phones
can also vary in the amount of interference noise
they may generate at any given time. ANSI standard
C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized
means of measuring both mobile 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 that may be
compatible with their particular hearing device. Not
all mobile phones are rated for compatibility with
hearing devices, but mobile phones that are rated
should have the rating available. This rating may
depend on the position of a retractable antenna.
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 mobile phone with a
higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise
levels in the hearing device. Evaluate your personal
needs by trying out the mobile phone with your
hearing device.
“M” Rating: Mobile phones rated M3 or M4 meet
FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing
devices than phones that are not labeled. (M4 is the
“better” or higher of the two ratings.)
"T" Rating: Mobile phones rated T3 or T4 meet
FCC requirements for compatibility with telecoil-type
("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") hearing devices
and are likely to be more usable with such hearing
devices than unrated phones. (T4 is the "better" or
higher of the two ratings.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity
to interference noise from mobile phones. In some
cases, hearing devices can be modified or
“hardened” to improve operation with a mobile
phone. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you improve the
interaction of your mobile phone and hearing device.
Not all hearing devices are rated for compatibility
with mobile phones, but hearing devices that are
rated should have the rating available. Be sure to
evaluate your personal needs by trying out this
mobile phone with your specific hearing device,
using both antenna positions if equipped with a
retractable antenna.
