Hearing aid compatible
This telephone is hearing aid compatible. Hearing-aid compatibility is not
a guarantee that a specific hearing aid will work with a specific telephone.
8

English
Mobile telephones contain radio transmitters that may interfere with
hearing aid performance. This phone has been tested for use with hear-
ing aids, for some of the wireless technologies that it uses, but there may
be some newer wireless technologies that have not been tested yet for
use with hearing aids. To ensure that a specific hearing aid works well
with this telephone, test them together before making a purchase.
The standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
•M: To use your hearing aid in this mode, make sure that your hearing
aid is set to "M-mode" or acoustic coupling mode, and position the
telephones receiver near the hearing aid’s built-in microphone. For
the best results, try using the telephone in different positions rela-
tive to your hearing aid—for example, placing the receiver slightly
above the ear may result in better performance for hearing aids with
microphones positioned behind the ear.
•T: To use your hearing aid in this mode, make sure that your hearing
aid is set to "T-mode" or telecoil coupling mode (not all hearing aids
have this mode). For the best results, try using the telephone in dif-
ferent positions relative to your hearing aid—for example, placing the
receiver slightly below or in front of the ear may result in better
performance.
See also Audio setup , p.25 on how you can adjust the telephones
audio settings.
