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 simultaneously. 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.

This Model Phone Meets the Government’s Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These FCC
exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were
developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and
