Safety Infor-
mation
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
power level than otherwise
needed.
PTT operation
Depending on the service options
offered by your service provider, you
may be able to use the C61 phone as
a two-way radio (push-to-talk
mode). In order to maintain compli-
ance with FCC RF exposure guide-
lines while using the C61 phone in
push-to-talk mode, the phone must
be held in a vertical position at least
one inch (2.5cm) from the lips.
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
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, Sie-
mens 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;
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.
