Safety Information

Important

Read this information before using your wireless handheld phone.

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

Antenna care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments 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 efficiently:

•Extend your antenna fully (if applicable).

•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 power level than otherwise needed.

PTT operation

Depending on the service options offered by your service provider, you may be able to use the C61 phone as

atwo-way radio (push-to-talk mode). In order to maintain compli- ance with FCC RF exposure guide- lines while using the C61 phone in push-to-talk mode, the phone must be held in a vertical position at least one inch (2.5cm) from the lips.

Driving

Laws pertaining to the use of mobile phones while driving vary significantly from state-to-state and sometimes even from locality-to-locality within states. For example, some areas 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, Siemens recommends that persons check the laws for the areas in which they drive or will be driving. For areas 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 responsibility;

•Use hands-free operation, if available;
