Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it because they
could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone, dial 911 by mistake or make
calls that increase your phone bill.

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device

Your phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some
wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the
effectiveness of the hearing device.

Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and
phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI
standard C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring
both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability rating categories
for both.

Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users find
phones that may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been
rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a
label located on the box. Your Samsung phone has an M3 rating.

These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device
is particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating
may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. 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 for hearing aid
compatibility and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than
unrated phones. (M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.)
