Precautions When Using Batteries
•
•
•
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
If you use the device near a network base station, it uses less power; talk and standby times are greatly affected by the
network signal strength and the parameters set by the network operator.
•
Battery charging times depend on the remaining battery charge and the type of battery and charger used. The battery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time (talk time and standby time)
is noticeably shorter than normal, it's time to buy a new battery.
•
•
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Use only approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with approved chargers. When a charger is not in use, disconnect
it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten
its life.
•
•
Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or warming first.
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a car in summer or winter, as you will reduce the capacity and life of the
battery. Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A device with a hot or cold battery may be temporarily inoperational,
even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 0˚C (32˚F).
Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object, such as a coin, clip, or pen, causes a direct connection between
the + and – terminals of the battery (the metal strips on the back of the battery)—for example, when you carry a spare battery
•
9
in a pocket or bag. Shorting the terminals may damage the battery or the object causing the short.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
•
Cautions for Charger and Battery
Charger cautions:
•
•
•
Using the wrong Charger could damage your mobile device and void your warranty.
The Charger is intended for indoor use only.
Do not expose the Charger to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as the bathroom.

How to Maximize Battery Life
► Entering characters, storing files, gaming, using the Internet, and playing video and music files will greatly reduce battery
life.
► In idle mode, using images and/or animations will decrease battery life by 20–30%.
► Enabling button or flip sound effects, or frequent opening and closing of the flip will reduce battery life considerably.
► Use of Slot Mode will reduce battery life.
What is Slot Mode? Within a wireless network, a mobile device will periodically communicate with the network. Frequent
✻
communication will occur, resulting in reduced battery life in Slot Mode. Once communication with the wireless network is
established, the frequency of communication will be about 2.5–5 times higher.
► When the device is not in a service area, its battery life will decrease as it will constantly check for a signal.
► Weak signals or overlapping channels in an area will waste battery life, as the mobile service will continue to configure and
connect.
► Answering and ending calls often will result in faster expenditure of battery life.
► Lengthy calls will consume battery life.
► Continual use of the battery will slowly reduce its lifespan over time.
► After the battery charge is used up, the battery icon will indicate the discharged state. The device will emit a warning sound
and then shut off. The battery must be charged to turn the device on again.
24
USB Cable Use Precautions
► Use only the included USB cable for charging.
► When connected to a notebook or desktop computer, charging may not perform normally or may take a long time due to
concurrent use of other USB devices or degradation of computer performance.
► Use the included USB cable only with VK Mobile devices.

change the text input mode, press the
key repeatedly until you find the desired input mode.
– T9 mode: T9ABC, T9Abc, T9abc
– Korean mode: Kor
– ABC: ABC, Abc, abc
– Numeric: Num
– Symbol: Sym
Directions for using each of the text input modes begin on page 36.
You can also change the text input mode by pressing the key repeatedly in the text entry screen to cycle through
the modes in the following order:
T9 ABC > Kor > Num > Sym > ABC
35
T9® Predictive Text Input
T9 mode allows you to enter English words with only one key press per letter.
Each key on a keypad has more than one letter associated with it. For instance, a single press of the 5 key could indicate
'J', 'K', or 'L'. T9 mode automatically compares your key presses to a built-in dictionary to determine the correct word. As
such, it requires far fewer keystrokes than the traditional multi-tap method.
Typing English Words
To type a word, press the keys corresponding to the letters you need. Remember the following as you are typing:
1. Press a key on the device just once per desired letter. For example, to enter "hello," press 4-3-5-5-6.
2. The word you are typing appears on the display. It may change with each key you press.
3. Complete each word with a space by pressing the
key.
36
4. If the word that appears on the display is not the intended word, press
one or more times to display alternate word
choices for the keys you have typed (for example, "of" and "me" both share the sequence 6-3). The device displays the
most commonly used choice first.
T9 mode displays all words containing the letters you have entered, saving you extra
key presses.
Smart Punctuation
Periods, hyphens, and apostrophes can be entered by pressing the
key. T9 mode applies the rules of grammar to
insert the correct punctuation.
Note that the
key is used twice in the following example to enter two punctuation marks:
l
e
t
'
s
e
a
t
.
37
Changing Case
To change the case in T9 mode, press the
key. Lowercase (abc), caps lock (ABC), and initial caps (Abc) are available.
Clearing Characters
Press
to remove characters from the text area.
38
ABC Mode
When typing in ABC mode, press the number keys labeled with the desired character—once for the first character, twice
for the second character, and so on. For example, press the 2 key three times quickly to enter the character 'C' and the 5
key three times quickly to enter the character 'L'. This method is called multi-tap typing.
The cursor moves to the right when you press a different key. When using the same key again for another character, wait a
few seconds for the cursor to move right automatically and then enter the next character. Refer to the table on page 40 for
the list of characters assigned to each key.

SNAP
In idle mode, press
on the right side of your device to access the Camera menu. Press and hold
to open the
camera viewfinder directly.
Before Using the Camera
Your device is set to generate a 60–68dBA sound effect when taking a picture or recording video, even when in Silent or
Vibration Mode.
1. For best image quality, a subject should get more lighting than its surroundings. When shooting, avoid direct light and
turn off the backlight.
2. When shooting, make sure to keep the camera and subject as stationary as possible, as it takes time for the camera
sensors to adjust.
3. When taking pictures indoors, bright lighting (ambient illumination of 300–500lux) is recommended. You can set the
camera mode to Portrait, Landscape, Evening, or Night, depending on the situation, to obtain the best image quality.
4. Once the camera is directed positioned, the camera sensors take time to adapt to the lighting. In particular, when taking
a picture with little ambient light, the sensors require at least 3–5 seconds before the camera becomes fully functional.
5. When using the flash in dark settings, make sure to keep the shooting range short (approximately 20–50cm), as the
flash performance decreases as the shooting range increases. However, if the distance is too short, automatic exposure
adjustment may not work properly, making the picture too bright.
51
6. A close shot can be taken of a subject as close as 50cm. A subject closer than 30cm can be captured with a macro shot.
If you rotate the slide at the top of the camera lens to , the camera is set to macro shot mode, which allows you to take
clearer pictures at close range.
7. To shoot a self-portrait, open the flip and use the mirror to align the camera. You will obtain the best results when the
shooting range is 50–80cm. About 60% of the reflected image is captured by the camera, so adjust the camera position
accordingly.
– Since the camera is equipped with a high-precision image sensor that can be damaged upon impact, make
sure not to drop it. In addition, the camera is sensitive to temperature and humidity, so keep your device out of
extreme temperatures and high humidity.
– To avoid vision damage, avoid pointing the flash directly into the eyes.
– If the camera lens becomes dirty, it may cause blurred photos. Be sure it is clean before taking a picture.

TIA Safety Information
Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information for Wireless Handheld phones. Inclusion of the text covering
Pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and Other Medical Devices is required in the owner’s manual for CTIA Certification. Use of the
remaining TIA language is encouraged when appropriate.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-
held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
*American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
129
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over
120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available
body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your device complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Device Position
Normal Position : Hold the device as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using
your device while driving, please :
•
•
•
Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your first responsibility
Use hands-free operation, if available
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless device.
Pacemakers
130
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers :
•
•
•
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
131
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the
area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
132
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling
areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal
powders); and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

FDA Consumer Update
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no
proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the
reasons for inconsistent results.
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before they
can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones
are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the
manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the
hazard no longer exists.
134
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a
number of steps, including the following:
•
•
•
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function; and
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use
on human health
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety
to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
•
•
•
•
•
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Federal Communications Commission
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones
135
that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other
health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher
power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typically
thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the
safety questions discussed in this document.
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS”
phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short
distance between the phone and the user’s head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission
safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is
located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called “cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC’s
compliance limits.
What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research
136
methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless
phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have
suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies
that showed increased tumor development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing
chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF
for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we
don’t know with certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any
possible association between the use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma,
tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any
harmful health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term
exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years.
What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless phones would provide some of
the data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of
animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide
data that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’ follow-up may be needed to provide answers about
some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and
137
the time tumors develop—if they do—may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by
difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement,
such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high
priority animal studies are conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy
(RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since
its inception in 1996. An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has
driven the establishment of new research programs around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public
information documents on EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts
in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to independent
investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also
include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest research developments around the world.
138
How can I find out how much radio frequency energy exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radio
frequency energy (RF) exposures. FCC established these guidelines in consultation with FDA and other federal health and
safety agencies. The FCC limit for exposure form wireless telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into
consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissue that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set well below
levels known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for location the FCC identification number on your phone so you can find your
phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
What has FDA done to measure the radio frequency energy coming form wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard for measuring the radio frequency
energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other wireless hand sets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists
and engineers. The standard, “Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in
the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices : Experimental Techniques,” sets forth the first consistent test
methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The test method uses a
tissue simulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency
139
of measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy
absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This
measurement is used to determine whether a wireless phone complies with safety guideline.
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there is--it is probably very small. But if you are
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a
wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
* If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more distance between your body
and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset
and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure
from these products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you want
to take steps to lower exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to children and
140
teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance between the user and
the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless
phones at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in
December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that
any health hazard exists.
What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped
develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and
many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard
sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance
requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that that no interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone
141
and a “compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
143
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC
96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies. The design of this device complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unanthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call
quality, damaged the device, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the device with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may
result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-Worn Operation
This device has been tested for body-worn operation and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines, and positions the handset at
a minimum of 3/4 inch(2centimeters) from the body. Use of any body-worn accessories may not compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Devices
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user for a wireless
144
handset. The SAR value of a device is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not
represent how much RF the device emits. All device models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings.
But when in operation, the SAR of a device can be substantially less that the level reported to the FCC. This is because of
a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, device design and other factors. What is important to
remember is that each device meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SAR’s do not represent a variation in safety. All
devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in
SAR values between different model devices do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of
1.6W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of VK650C are:
CDMA Head SAR: 0.427mW/g, CDMA Body SAR: 0.427mW/g
PCS Head SAR: 0.864mW/g, PCS Body SAR: 0.538mW/g
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This device meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number: SBWVK650C
More information on the device’s SAR can be found from the following FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device and its accessories may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device and its accessories must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
145
FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for
Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified
the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones
be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services
for persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless 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 a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device users find
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 located 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.
146
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.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this
rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless
phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered
for best use.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of
the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the
particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark.
The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT
147
marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
