methods and performance requirements for hearing aids
and wireless phones so that no interference occurs when
a person uses a ‘compatible’ phone and a ‘compatible’
hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved
by the IEEE in 2000. The FDA continues to monitor the use
of wireless phones for possible interactions with other
medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to
occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess the
interference and work to resolve the problem.

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice almost anywhere, anytime. An
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car,
practice good common sense and remember the following
tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as
speed dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual
and learn to take advantage of valuable features most
phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also,
work to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the
speed dial function without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of
hands-free wireless phone accessories are readily available
today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for
your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take
advantage of these devices if available to you.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure
you place your wireless phone within easy reach and where
you can reach it without removing your eyes from the road. If
you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible,
let your voicemail answer it for you.
