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.)
Your phone meets the M4/T4 level rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you find this rating. For more information about FCC
Hearing Aid Compatibility, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
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. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of
this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about
return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.

AVOID HIGH TEMPERATURES

Leaving the device in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or
winter conditions, reduces the capacity and lifetime of the battery. For the best
results, try to use the device between -20°C and +55°C (-4°F and 131°F). A
device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery
is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures well
below freezing.

PERSONAL MEDICAL DEVICES

Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other
implanted equipment. Please avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker,
for example in your breast pocket. When using the mobile phone, place it at
the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is
kept between the mobile phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is
limited. If you suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off your
mobile phone. Contact your cardiologist for more information. For other medical
devices, consult your physician and the manufacturer of the device. Comply
with instructions to switch off the device or deactivate the RF transmitter when
required, especially when posted in hospitals and airplanes. Equipment used
in these places may be sensitive to radio waves emitted from the device and
adversely affect their operation. Also, observe restrictions at gas stations or other
areas with flammable atmosphere or when close to electro-explosive devices.
