February 2004, 17:16) Safety precautions y utions Switch off in hospitals or in the vicinity of medical devices, e.g. pacemakers or hearing aids. Mobile phones can interfere with the function of these devices. A minimum distance of 20 cm between pacemaker and mobile phone should be kept. When using the mobile phone hold it to the ear which is farther removed from the pacemaker. Always use the handsfree kit for calls while driving (p. 98). Mobile phones must be switched off at all times in an aircraft. To prevent accidental activation, see (p. 59). Switch off near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations. Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of technical installations. The ring tone and hands-free speaker are reproduced through the earpiece. Never hold the handset to your ear when the handset is ringing or when using the hands-free speaker mode. Serious and permanent damage could occur to your hearing! SIM card may be removed. Caution! Small parts could be swallowed by children. 3 © Siemens AG 2001, W:\ICM_MP_CCQ_S_UM\04FL00501 A56i AWS_Januar 2004\Work\a56_am_v2\c55_security.fm The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit must not be exceeded. We recommend you use only original Siemens batteries (100% mercury-free) and charging devices. Otherwise considerable health risks and damage to the product cannot be excluded. Neither the phone nor the battery (100% mercury-free) may be opened under any circumstances (except when exchanging the battery, SIM card or top shell). Any other changes to this device are strictly prohibited, as they will invalidate the type approval criteria required for operation of the unit. Please note: Dispose of used batteries and phones according to the legal regulations. Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of nearby TVs, radios or PCs. We recommend you use only original Siemens accessories to avoid possible damage and to comply with the existing regulations. Improper use invalidates the warranty! A56I USA am, A31008-H5320-A220-2-4A19 (4. February 2004, 17:16) 4 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. © Siemens AG 2001, W:\ICM_MP_CCQ_S_UM\04FL00501 A56i AWS_Januar 2004\Work\a56_am_v2\c55_security.fm y Inforn 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. A56I USA am, A31008-H5320-A220-2-4A19 (4. February 2004, 17:16) 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. 5 © Siemens AG 2001, W:\ICM_MP_CCQ_S_UM\04FL00501 A56i AWS_Januar 2004\Work\a56_am_v2\c55_security.fm 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. A56I USA am, A31008-H5320-A220-2-4A19 (4. February 2004, 17:16) 6 Vehicles Safety Information could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include: fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. © Siemens AG 2001, W:\ICM_MP_CCQ_S_UM\04FL00501 A56i AWS_Januar 2004\Work\a56_am_v2\c55_security.fm RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Posted Facilities Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require. Airplanes FCC and Airline Regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone OFF before boarding an airplane. Check and comply with the policy of your airline regarding the use of your phone while the airplane is on the ground. Emergency calls (SOS) Your wireless phone can be used to make emergency calls. You can make an emergency call from the main display screen. Enter the local emergency number such as 911 and then press the A key This p ...
