Hearing Aid Compatibility Hac For Wireless Telecommunications Devices - U.S.Cellular Cdm-2080 User Manual

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on
U46‐CDM2080.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web‐site at
http://www.wow‐com.com.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public
is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
sub‐stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
7.4 HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY HAC FOR WIRELESS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
PCD'S COMMITMENT

wireless technologies. We are committed to providing a selection of compatible devices
for our customers who wear hearing aids.
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M3/T3
This device complies with the FCC HAC requirements has also been tested E‐Field,
H‐Field and T‐Coil, the worst test result of M rating is M3, the T rating is T3.
WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating system
designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more effectively use these wireless
telecommunications devices. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones
with hearing aids is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard
C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to four (four being
the best rating): an "M" rating for reduced interference making it easier to hear
conversations on the phone when using the hearing aid microphone, and a "T" rating
that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the telecoil mode thus
reducing unwanted background noise.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH WIRELESS PHONES ARE HEARING AID
COMPATIBLE?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box.
A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode)
if it has an "M3" or "M4" rating. A digital wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid
Compatible for inductive coupling (telecoil mode) if it has a "T3" or "T4" rating.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK WITH A PARTICULAR DIGITAL
WIRELESS PHONE?
You'll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which works the
best with your hearing aids. You may also want to talk with your hearing aid
