Turning on the HAC Setting

CAUTION Do not turn on the Hearing Aid Compatibility setting unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing.

When the Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) setting is on, your smartphone sends the audio from your phone calls to the telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls much better because volume is increased and background noise and feedback are diminished. The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to through the earpiece. It does not affect calls heard on the speakerphone or with a car kit or headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your battery consumption when it's turned on.

1Press Phone .

2Press Menu .

3Select Options and then select Phone Preferences.

4Check the Hearing Aid Compatibility box.

5Select OK.

What are all those icons?

You can monitor the status of several items using icons in the title bar of the Phone application:

Wireless Your phone is on and you are in Service your wireless service provider’s Name coverage area. If you are outside

a coverage area, No Service or Roaming appears instead.

No Service means that there is no coverage at all, and Roaming means that another wireless service provider’s network is available. When you turn off your phone, Phone Off appears.
