Tips on efficient operation
• 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.
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 cell 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;
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions so require.
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 radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers‘ Association recommends that a minimum separation of
6 inches (21 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the inde-
pendent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON;
