Antenna Care; Phone Operation - Siemens S65 User Manual

Important
Read this information before using
your wireless handheld phone.
As this cellular phone is equipped
with a fixed (non-retractable) an-
tenna, some paragraphs in the text
below 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
efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully
(if applicable).
• 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 precautions
Driving
Laws pertaining to the use of cellular
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
cellular phones only if they employ a
handsfree device, and some areas
may prohibit the use of cell phones
entirely. Accordingly, Siemens rec-
ommends that persons check the
laws for the areas in which they drive
or will be driving. For areas where
the use of cellular phones while driv-
ing is permitted, Siemens encourag-
es persons to use their phones re-
sponsibly and to employ handsfree
devices. Also, if using your phone
while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving –
driving safely is your first
responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation;
• Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call, if
driving conditions so require.
