Welcome  
Thank you for choosing the advanced and compact VX8100  
cellular phone, designed to operate with the latest digital  
mobile communication technology, Code Division Multiple  
Access (CDMA). Along with the many advanced features  
of the CDMA system, such as greatly enhanced voice  
clarity, this phone offers:  
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 causes undesired operation.  
G Large, easy-to-read, 8-line backlight LCD with status  
icons.  
G Paging, messaging, Voicemail, and caller ID.  
G 27-key keypad.  
G Long battery standby and talk time.  
G Menu-driven interface with prompts for easy operation  
and configuration.  
G Any key answer, auto answer, auto retry, one-touch and  
speed dialing with 99 memory locations.  
Technical Details  
The VX8100 is an all digital phone that operates on both  
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies:  
Cellular services at 800 MHz and Personal Communication  
Services (PCS) at 1.9 GHz.  
CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct  
Sequence Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to  
keep communication from being crossed and to use one  
frequency channel by multiple users in the same specific  
area. This results in a 10-fold capacity increase when  
compared with analog mode. In addition, features such as  
soft / softer handoff, hard handoff, and dynamic RF power  
control technologies combine to reduce call interruptions.  
The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist of MSO  
(Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station Controller),  
BTS (Base Station Transmission System), and MS (Mobile  
Station). The following table lists some major CDMA  
standards.  
G Bilingual (English and Spanish) capabilities.

the back of the phone and have not been tested for  
compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.  
FCC RF Exposure Information  
WARNING! Read this information before operating the  
phone.  
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.  
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna  
(Optional, if available.)  
A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must

Safety  
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).  
TIA Safety Information  
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for  
wireless handheld phones.  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC  
guidelines (and those standards).  
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal  
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power  
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives  
and also sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.  
Antenna Care  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement  
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or  
attachments could damage the phone and may violate  
FCC regulations.  
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications  
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with  
safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those  
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards  
previously set by both U.S. and international standards  
bodies:  
Phone Operation  
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any  
other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your  
shoulder.  
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *  
NCRP Report 86 (1986)  
ICNIRP (1996)  
Tips on Efficient Operation  
American National Standards Institute; National Council  
on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International  
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection  
For your phone to operate most efficiently:  
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone  
is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and  
may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level  
than otherwise needed.  
Those standards were based on comprehensive and  
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature.

Driving  
Persons with pacemakers:  
G
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6)  
inches from their pacemaker when the phone is  
turned ON;  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless  
phones in the areas where you drive and always obey  
them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please  
observe the following:  
G
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;  
G
G
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to  
minimize the potential for interference;  
Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first  
responsibility;  
G
G
G
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any  
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.  
Use hands-free operation, if available;  
Pull off the road and park before making or answering  
a call if driving conditions or the law so require.  
Hearing Aids  
Electronic Devices  
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some  
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may  
want to consult your service provider (or call the  
customer service line to discuss alternatives). Optional  
for each phone manufacturer.  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF  
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be  
shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.  
Pacemakers  
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.  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the  
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately  
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be  
able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Safety  
Health Care Facilities  
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere  
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 use equipment that  
could be sensitive to external RF energy.  
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.  
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.  
Posted Facilities  
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices  
so require.  
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.  
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.

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of  
wireless phones?  
FDA Consumer Update  
Under the law, the 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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy at a level that is  
hazardous to the user. In such a case, the 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.  
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for  
Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on  
Mobile Phones:  
1. 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  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range  
while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF  
when in the standby 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.  
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA  
regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the wireless phone  
industry to take a number of steps, including the following:  
G
Support needed research into possible biological  
effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;  
G
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF  
exposure to the user that is not necessary for device  
function; and  
G
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with  
the best possible information on possible effects of  
wireless phone use on human health.

Safety  
The 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:  
lower than those they can get from wireless phones.  
Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety  
questions discussed in this document.  
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?  
The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld  
wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called  
“cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types of  
wireless phones can expose the user to measurable  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy because of the short  
distance between the phone and the user’s head.  
These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines  
that were developed with the advice of the 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 far below the FCC safety limits.

The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless  
phones with the Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must  
comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure.  
The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for  
safety questions about wireless phones.  
The 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

4. What are the results of the research done already?  
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.  
The research done thus far has produced conflicting  
results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their  
research methods. Animal experiments investigating the  
effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy 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 do not 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  
5. 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 ten 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 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.

users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of  
additional research needs in the context of the latest  
research developments around the world.  
The 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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy.  
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World  
Health Organization International Electro Magnetic 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.  
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet  
Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research  
And Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on  
wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientific  
oversight, obtaining input from experts in government,  
industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded  
research is conducted through contracts with  
independent investigators. The initial research will include  
both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone  
7. 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 (RF) energy exposures. The FCC  
established these guidelines in consultation with the FDA  
and the other federal health and safety agencies. The FCC  
limit for RF exposure from wireless phones is set at a  
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram  
(1.6 W/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 tissues 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 locating the FCC identification number on  
your phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level  
in the online listing.

8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio  
Frequency energy coming from wireless phones?  
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio  
Frequency energy from my wireless phone?  
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)  
is developing a technical standard for measuring the Radio  
Frequency (RF) energy exposure from wireless phones  
and other wireless handsets 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 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 guidelines.  
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  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. 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.

Safety  
10. What about children using wireless phones?  
11. What about wireless phone interference with  
medical equipment?  
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 Radio  
Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above  
would apply to children and 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.  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless phones can  
interact with some electronic devices. For this reason,  
the FDA helped develop a detailed test method to  
measure Electro Magnetic 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  
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  
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The  
final draft, a joint effort by the 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.  
The 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 no interference occurs  
when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a  
“compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard  
was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

that any health hazard exists.

The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones  
for possible interactions with other medical devices.  
Should harmful interference be found to occur, the FDA

resolve the problem.  
10 Driver Safety Tips  
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to  
communicate by voice almost anywhere, anytime. An  
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of  
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.  
When operating a car, driving is your first responsibility.  
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a  
car, practice good common sense and remember the  
following tips:  
12. Where can I find additional information?  
For additional information, please refer to the following  
resources:

(http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/phones/index.html)  
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such  
as speed dial and redial. Carefully read your  
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF Safety  
Program  
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)  
instruction manual and learn to take advantage of  
valuable features most phones offer, including  
automatic redial and memory. Also, work to memorize  
the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial  
function without taking your attention off the road.

2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of  
hands-free wireless phone accessories are readily  
available today. Whether you choose an installed  
mounted device for your wireless phone or a speaker  
phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if  
available to you.

Safety  
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make  
sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach  
and where you can reach it without removing your  
eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an  
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail  
answer it for you.  
or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may  
be stopped at a stop sign, red light, or otherwise  
stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow  
this simple tip -- dial only a few numbers, check the  
road and your mirrors, then continue.  
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations  
that may be distracting. Stressful or emotional  
conversations and driving do not mix; they are  
distracting and even dangerous when you are behind  
the wheel of a car. Make people you are talking with  
aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend  
conversations which have the potential to divert your  
attention from the road.  
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving  
conditions or situations. Let the person you are  
speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,  
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather  
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can be  
hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first  
responsibility is to pay attention to the road.  
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while  
driving. If you are reading an address book or business  
card, or writing a “to-do” list while driving a car, you  
are not watching where you are going. It is common  
sense. Do not get caught in a dangerous situation  
because you are reading or writing and not paying  
attention to the road or nearby vehicles.  
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless  
phone is one of the greatest tools you can own to  
protect yourself and your family in dangerous  
situations -- with your phone at your side, help is only  
three numbers away. Dial 911 or other local  
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident,  
road hazard, or medical emergency. Remember, it is a  
free call on your wireless phone!  
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place  
calls when you are not moving or before pulling into  
traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in  
emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a  
perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in your  
community. If you see an auto accident, crime in  
progress or other serious emergency where lives are  
in danger, call 911 or other local emergency number,  
as you would want others to do for you.  
Consumer Information on SAR  
(Specific Absorption Rate)  
This model phone meets the government's requirements  
for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a  
radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and  
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for  
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the  
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.  
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive  
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for  
the general population. The guidelines are based on  
standards that were developed by independent scientific  
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation  
of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial  
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all  
persons, regardless of age and health.  
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-  
emergency assistance number when necessary.  
Certain situations you encounter while driving may  
require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a  
call for emergency services. But you can still use your  
wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-  
down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken  
traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one  
appears injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen,  
call roadside assistance or other special non-  
emergency wireless number.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones  
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific  
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is  
1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard  
operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone  
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all  
tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at

Safety  
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of  
the phone while operating can be well below the  
maximum value. Because the phone is designed to  
operate at multiple power levels to use only the power  
required to reach the network, in general, the closer you  
are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the  
power output.  
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this  
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in  
compliance with the FCC RF emission 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/fccid after searching on FCC ID  
BEJVX8100. Additional information on Specific  
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular  
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)  
website at http://www.wow-com.com.  
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it  
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not  
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted  
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed  
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on  
the body) as required by the FCC for each model.  
*
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.  
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested  
for use at the ear is 1.16 W/kg and when worn on the  
body, as described in this user guide, is 0.936W/kg (body-  
worn measurements differ among phone models,  
depending upon available accessories and FCC  
requirements). While there may be differences between  
SAR levels of various phones and at various positions,  
they all meet the government requirement for safe  
exposure.

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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

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  
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.  
When you're talking over the cell phone, it's recommended  
you'd turn the BT mode off for HAC.
