Explain to your children the contents and the hazards associated with using the phone. When in a hospital, switch off your phone. Mobile phones can interfere with the functioning of medical devices such as hearing aids or pacemakers. Keep at least 20cm/9 inches between phone and pacemaker. When using the mobile phone, hold it to the ear that is farther away from the pacemaker. For more information, consult your doctor. Always use the handsfree kit (p. 104) 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. 72). Switch off near service stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations. Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of technical installations. The ringtone (p. 89), info tones (p. 89) and handsfree talking are reproduced through the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to the ear when it rings or when you have switched on the handsfree function (p. 20). Otherwise, there is a risk of serious lasting damage to hearing. 3 The SIM card may be removed. Caution! Small parts could be swallowed by children. The voltage (V) specified on the power supply unit must not be exceeded. Do not view the activated infrared interface [Class 1 LED product (classification under IEC 60825-1)] with an optical magnifier. 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. You may only open the phone to replace the battery (100% mercury-free) or SIM card. You must not open the battery under any circumstances. Any other changes to this device are strictly prohibited, as they will invalidate the type approval criteria required for operation of the unit. 4 Please note: Safety precautions Safely dispose of used batteries and phones according to the legal 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! SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) THIS SIEMENS S55 PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREn MENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your wireless Siemens S55 phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified 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 mul- 5 tiple 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 antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this Siemens S55 phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.52 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.36 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this Siemens S55 phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this Siemens S55 phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID PWX-S55. 6 SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only Siemens approved accessories. When carrying the phone while it is on, use the specific Siemens belt clip that has been tested for compliance. Use of non-Siemens-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided. * In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at: http://www.wow-com.com For SAR information in other regions please look under product information at: www.my-siemens.com Overview of phone of Integrated antenna Do not interfere with the phone unnecessarily above the battery cover.
