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.
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 rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
Your PG86100 is rated M4.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to be more usable with a
hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated.
T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your
PG86100 is rated T3.
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using
hearing aid devices with your PG86100.

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 better use. A sum of 8 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.
This methodology applies equally for T ratings.
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 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.
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

Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements,
a minimum separation distance of 1 cm must be
maintained between the user’s body and the handset,
including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,
and similar accessories used by this device should
not contain any metallic components. Body-worn
accessories that do not meet these requirements
may not comply with RF exposure requirements and
should be avoided.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result
in violation of regulations. Do not use the phone 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.
Telecommunications & Internet
Association (TIA) Safety Information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six 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 the phone OFF immediately.
