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

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.
