Hearing Aid Compatibility (Hac) For Wireless; Telecommunications Devices - Pantech Jest User Manual

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
on JYCSHOW.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at

* 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 substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.

HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC) FOR WIRELESS

TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES

PCD'S COMMITMENT
PCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benefits of
digital wireless technologies.

customers who wear hearing aids.
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M4/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

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching
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 professional about the extent to which your hearing aids are immune
to interference, if they have wireless phone shielding, and whether your hearing
aid has a HAC rating.
