Safety precautions

Important

Read this information before using your wireless handheld phone.

As this cellular phone is equipped with a fixed (non-retractable) an- tenna, some paragraphs in the text below 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 pow- er level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Laws pertaining to the use of cellular 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 cellular phones only if they employ a handsfree device, and some areas may prohibit the use of cell 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 cellular phones while driving is permitted, Siemens encourages persons to use their phones responsibly and to employ handsfree devices. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

•Give full attention to driving – driving safely is your first responsibility;

•Use hands-free operation;

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