Safety Guidelines
Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the FDA, medical
device manufacturers, and many other groups, was
completed in late 2000. This standard will allow
manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. The FDA has
tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless
phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
This standard specifies test 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
