Safety Information
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; · Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions so require.
or- 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 unnecessarily 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.
Safety Information
For vehicles equipped with Air Bags
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Persons with pacemakers:
· should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON; · should not carry the phone in a breast pocket; · should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference; · should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider or your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturer's Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6") be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the manufacturers of your devices to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
