4 Safety Information

nfor- Important

Read this information before using your wireless handheld phone.

As this mobile phone is equipped with a fixed (non-retractable) an- tenna, some paragraphs in the be- low text may not be applicable.

Antenna care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attach- ments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Phone operation

Normal position

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Tips on efficient operation

For your phone to operate most effi- ciently:

•Extend your antenna fully (if appli- cable).

•Do not touch the antenna unnec- essarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher pow- er level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Laws pertaining to the use of mobile phones while driving vary signifi- cantly from state-to-state and some- times even from locality-to-locality within states. For example, some ar- eas may allow persons to use their mobile phones only if they employ a hands-free device, and some areas may prohibit the use of mobile phones entirely. Accordingly, Sie- mens recommends that persons check the laws for the areas in which they drive or will be driving. For are- as where the use of mobile phones while driving is permitted, Siemens encourages persons to use their phones responsibly and to employ hands-free devices. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

•Give full attention to driving – driving safely is your first responsi- bility;

•Use hands-free operation, if avail- able;

•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driv- ing conditions so require.
