Important Safety Information

4A. Important Safety Information 107

䢇Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
䢇Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a
combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.
It is further suggested you experiment with multiple phones (even those not
labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best
with your hearing aid device. Should you experience interference or find the
quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly
return it to the store where purchased for exchange or refund. More
information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: www.fcc.gov,
www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.

Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience

With Your Phone

To further minimize interference:
䢇Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to ensure the
minimum time interval (see also page 28):
1. Press > Settings > Display > Backlight > Backlight Dim or
Backlight Off.
2. Highlight the minimum time interval setting and press .
䢇Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from your
hearing aid.
䢇Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
䢇Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone
batteries overheating, catching fire or exploding. It appears that many, if
not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-
brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards.
The manufacturer is not aware of similar problems with manufacturer
phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories
approved by the manufacturer of your phone. Use only manufacturer-
approved batteries and accessories found through your phone’s
manufacturer. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best way
to ensure they’re genuine and safe.
䢇Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred
the battery.
䢇Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into
the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire,
explosion or other hazard.
䢇Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped,
especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a
service center for inspection.
䢇Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.
䢇Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to
contact battery terminals.
䢇Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
䢇Battery usage by children should be supervised.
