Sprint Nextel 800w manual Controlling Your Roaming Experience, Selecting Your HAC Settings

Selecting Your HAC Settings

Your Treo complies with Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) standards and includes an HAC setting. If you use a hearing aid that is equipped with a telecoil and the HAC setting is on, your device 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 headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your battery consumption when it's turned on.

Caution

Do not turn on the HAC 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.
