Pantech Matrix Pro - Manual (Page 251)

249 Chapter 16. Safety and warranty
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.
