Important
Read this information before using
your wireless handheld phone.
As this mobile phone is equipped
with a fixed (non-retractable) an-
tenna, some paragraphs in the be-
low text may not be applicable.

Antenna care

Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attach-
ments 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 effi-
ciently:
• Extend your antenna fully (if appli-
cable).
• 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.

Safety Information

Driving
Laws pertaining to the use of mobile
phones while driving vary signifi-
cantly from state-to-state and some-
times even from locality-to-locality
within states. For example, some ar-
eas 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, Sie-
mens recommends that persons
check the laws for the areas in which
they drive or will be driving. For ar-
eas 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 responsi-
bility;
• Use hands-free operation, if avail-
able;
• Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call, if driv-
ing conditions so require.
