Explain to your children the contents and the hazards associated with using the phone. Do not use mobile phone in hospitals or in the vicinity of medical devices, such as pacemakers or hearing aids. Mobile phones may interfere with the operation of these devices. Keep a minimum distance of 8" between pacemaker and mobile phone. When using the mobile phone hold it to the ear farthest from the pacemaker. Always use the handsfree kit (p. 95) with an external antenna for calls while driving! Mobile phones must be switched off at all times in an aircraft. To prevent accidental activation, see (p. 67). Switch off near service stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations. Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of technical installations. Acoustic Shock Warning The ringtone (p. 80), info tones (p. 81) and speakerphone talking are reproduced through the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to the ear when it rings or when you have switched on the speakerphone function (p. 26). Otherwise, there is a risk of serious lasting damage to hearing. Caution! The SIM card may be removed. Caution! Small parts could be swallowed by children. Do not exceed the input voltage specified on the power supply. . Only use original Siemens batteries (100% mercury-free) and charging devices. Otherwise, considerable health risks and damage to the product cannot be excluded: the battery could explode, for instance. 3 ns It is recommended that you open the phone only to replace the battery (100% mercury-free) or SIM card. Do not open the battery under any circumstances. Any other changes to this device may invalidate the FCC authorization required for operation of the unit, and are strictly prohibited. Please note: Safely dispose of used batteries and phones according to local regulations. Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of nearby TVs, radios or PCs. Only use original Siemens accessories to avoid possible damage to health and property and to comply with the existing regulations. Improper use invalidates the warranty! 4 Safety Information 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. PTT operation Depending on the service options offered by your service provider, you may be able to use the C61 phone as a two-way radio (push-to-talk mode). In order to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines 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. 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. 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; 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 · Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions so require. 5 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. 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. 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. 6 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. Vehicles 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 when requested by the airline. 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. Blasting areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks, and userprogrammed functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential communications (for example, medical emergencies). Remember - to make or receive any calls, the phone must be switched on and be used in a service area that has adequate signal strength. Emergency calls might not Safety Information be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network services or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers regarding their network features. Always make certain that your phone is properly charged before attempting any emergency calls. If you allow your battery to discharge, you will be unable to receive or make calls, including emergency calls. You must then wait a few minutes after the charging begins to place any emergency calls. When making an emergency call, remember to give all of the necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone might be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident, therefore you should not terminate the call until given permission to do so. 7 8 SAR (Cell Phone Designation) power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and the manufacturer must certify to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body), reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model phone when testest for use at the ear is 0.656 W/kg*** + and when worn on the body is 0.637 W/kg*** ++ and during PTT operation is 0.117 W/kg*** Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at www.phonefacts.net or the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) website www.cwta.ca. SAR information on this Siemens C61 phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display RF EXPOSURE /SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) on) INFORMATION THIS SIEMENS C61 PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS. Your cell phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by Health Canada. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed and confirmed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies*. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for cell phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit established by the FCC and by Health Canada is 1.6 W/kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified SAR (Cell Phone Designation) Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID PWX-C61. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, all Siemens products meet the governmental requirements for safe RF exposure. + 9 * For body worn operation, this mobile phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Siemens accessory designated for this product, where available, or when used with a carry accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset at least 1.5 cm/0.59 in from the body. Use of other carry accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. For PTT operation, this device has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines with the front of the device vertically positioned at least 2.5 cm/1 in from the lips. The World Health Organization (WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland), on the basis of the actual knowledge, does not see any necessity for special precautionary measures when using cell phones.
