formance that can be expected from the

battery under normal network conditions

and with the default settings as set by the

factory. However, playing games (particu-

larly with the backlight continuously

switched on) and listening to music will

shorten the time available for standby

and to make and receive telephone calls.

Operation times also vary depending on

network conditions, SIM settings, charg-

ing and battery condition, how you use

your phone and other factors.

Memory

The mobile phone contains an internal

memory device that stores the software

required to operate the mobile phone,

communicate with the GSM/GPRS net-

work and provide the user interface.

Some features in the internal memory

run additional devices and some addition-

al games and utilities. The amount of

memory available in the mobile phone is

finite and may be insufficient to store

large numbers of applications and files.

Warning!

Remember to back up your data and to do so fre-

quently. Always back up all data and programs

before sending the mobile phone in for repair.

Safety precautions

Information for parents

Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.

Explain the content and the hazards associated with using the phone to your children.

Remember to comply with legal re-

quirements and local restrictions

when using the phone. For example

in aeroplanes, petrol stations, hos-

pitals or while driving.

Cellular phones can interfere with

the functioning of medical devices

such as hearing aids or pace-

makers. Keep at least 9 inches

(20 cm) between phone and pace-

maker. When using the cell phone

hold it to the ear which is farthest

from the pacemaker. For more in-

formation consult your doctor.

The ringtone, info tones and speak-

erphone talking are reproduced

through the loudspeaker. Do not

hold the phone to your ear when it

rings or when you have switched on

the speakerphone function. Other-

wise you risk serious, permanent

damage to your hearing.

Only use original Siemens batteries

(100% mercury-free) and – charg-

ing devices. Otherwise you risk seri-

ous damage to health and property.

The battery could explode, for in-

stance.

Small parts such as the SIM card,

sealing stop, lens ring and lens cap

can be dismantled and swallowed

by small children. The phone must

therefore be stored out of the reach

of small children.

The mains voltage specified on the

power supply unit (V) must not be

exceeded. Otherwise the charging

device may be destroyed.

The power supply must be plugged

into an easily accessible AC mains

power socket when charging the

battery. The only way to turn off the

charging device after charging the

battery is to unplug it.

Do not use a handheld while

driving.

Do not look at the LED (e.g. ac-ti-

vated infrared port, flash LED) with

optical magnifiers because of the

risk of radiation.

This product complies with

IEC/EN 60825-1 2 2Safety of Laser

Products2 for LED Class 1M prod-

ucts; such products are safe under

reasonably foresee-able operating

conditions.

Do not place the phone near to

electromagnetic data carriers such

as credit cards and floppy disks. In-

formation stored on them could be

lost.

You may only open the phone to re-

place the battery (100% mercury-

free) or SIM card. You must not

open the battery under any circum-

stances. All other changes to this

device are strictly prohibited and will

invalidate the guarantee.

Antenna care

Use only the supplied or an approved re-

placement antenna. Unauthorized anten-

nas, 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 unnecessari-

ly 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.

Important

Please dispose of unwanted batter-

ies and phones as permitted by the

laws in your country.

The phone may cause interference

in the vicinity of TV sets, radios and

PCs.

Use only Siemens original accesso-

ries. This will avoid potential risks to

health or property and ensure com-

pliance with all relevant regulations.

Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!

These safety instructions also apply to Siemens

original accessories.

Product attributes are subject to changes in tech-

nology, design and availability. Siemens reserves

the right to modify products without prior notice.

This cellular phone offers a range of functions, it

can be used in positions other than the head,

such as on the body. In this case, separation dis-

tance of 1cm is required. When a carry case, belt

clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it

should not contain metal and should position the

device the above-stated distance from your body.

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 text below may not be

applicable.

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 ar-

eas may prohibit the use of cell phones

entirely. Accordingly, Siemens recom-

mends that persons check the laws for

the areas in which they drive or will be

driving. For areas where the use of mo-

bile 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 mak-

ing or answering a call, if driving condi-

tions so require.

For vehicles equipped with air bags

An air bag inflates with great force.

DO NOT place objects, including either in-

stalled 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) sig-

nals. However, certain electronic equip-

ment may not be shielded against the

RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers' Asso-

ciation recommends that a minimum sep-

aration of six inches (6") be maintained

between a handheld wireless phone and

a pacemaker to avoid potential interfer-

ence with the pacemaker. These recom-

mendations 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;

• should not carry the phone in a breast

pocket;

• should use the ear opposite the pace-

maker to minimize the potential for

interference;

• should turn the phone OFF immediate-

ly if there is any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place.

Hearing aids

Some digital wireless phones may inter-

fere with some hearing aids. In the event

of such interference, you may want to

consult your service provider or your

hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alter-

natives.

Other medical devices

If you use any other personal medical de-

vices, consult the manufacturers of your

devices to determine if they are ade-

quately shielded from external RF energy.

Your physician may be able to assist you

in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facili-

ties when any regulations posted in these

areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or

health care facilities may be using equip-

ment that could be sensitive to external

RF energy.

VAR Language: am; VAR issue date: 050302

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed

or inadequately shielded electronic sys-

tems in motor vehicles. Check with the

manufacturer or its representative regard-

ing your vehicle. You should also consult

the manufacturer of any equipment that

has been added to your vehicle.

Posted facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where

posted notices so require.

Airplanes

FCC and Airline Regulations prohibit using

your phone while in the air. Turn your

phone OFF when requested by the airline.

Check and comply with the policy of your

airline regarding the use of your phone

while the airplane is on the ground.

Blasting areas

To avoid interfering with blasting opera-

tions, turn your phone OFF when in a

“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn

off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and in-

structions.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area

with a potentially explosive atmosphere

and obey all signs and instructions.

Sparks in such areas could cause an ex-

plosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or

even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmos-

phere are often but not always clearly

marked. They include: fueling areas such

as gasoline stations; below deck on boats;

fuel or chemical transfer or storage facili-

ties; vehicles using liquefied petroleum

gas (such as propane or butane); areas

where the air contains chemicals or parti-

cles, such as grain, dust or metal pow-

ders; and any other area where you

would normally be advised to turn off

your vehicle engine.

Emergency calls (SOS)

Your wireless phone can be used to make

emergency calls. You can make an emer-

gency call from the main display screen.

Enter the local emergency number such

as 911 and then press the A key.

This phone, like any wireless phone, oper-

ates using radio signals, wireless and

landline networks, and user-programm-

ed functions. Because of this, connec-

tions in all conditions cannot be guaran-

teed. Therefore, you should never rely

solely on any wireless phone for essential

communications (for example, medical

emergencies). Remember – to make or

receive any calls, the phone must be

switched on and be used in a service area

that has adequate signal strength. Emer-

gency calls might not be possible on all

wireless phone networks or when certain

network services or phone features are in

use. Check with local service providers re-

garding their network features.

Always make certain that your phone is

properly charged before attempting any

emergency calls. If you allow your battery

to discharge, you will be unable to receive

or make calls, including emergency calls.

You must then wait a few minutes after

the charging begins to place any emer-

gency calls.

When making an emergency call, remem-

ber to give all of the necessary informa-

tion as accurately as possible. Remember

that your wireless phone might be the

only means of communication at the

scene of an accident, therefore you

should not terminate the call until given

permission to do so.

Care and maintenance

Your phone has been designed and manufactured

to the highest of standards and should be treated

with great care. The suggestions below will help

you to enjoy your phone for many years.

• Protect your phone from moisture and humidity.

Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain min-

erals that will corrode electronic circuits. Never-

theless, should your phone become wet,

disconnect it immediately from the power sup-

ply to avoid electric shock. Do not place your

phone (even to dry it) on/in a source of heat

such as a microwave oven, oven or radiator.

The phone may become overheated and

possibly explode.

• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty ar-

eas. Its moving parts may be damaged and the

casing may become deformed and discoloured.

• Do not store your phone in hot environments

(e.g. vehicle instrument panel in the summer).

High temperatures can shorten the life of elec-

tronic devices, damage batteries and warp or

melt certain plastics.

• Do not store your phone in cold environments.

When the phone warms up again (to its normal

ambient temperature), moisture can form inside

the phone, which may damage electronic circuit

boards.

• Do not drop, knock or shake your phone. Rough

handling can damage internal circuit boards!

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents,

or strong detergents to clean the phone!

The suggestions given above apply equally to your

phone, battery, charger and all accessories. If any

of these parts is not working properly, obtain fast

and reliable help at our service centres.

Battery quality statement

The capacity of your mobile phone battery will re-

duce each time it is charged/emptied. Storage at

too high or low temperatures will also result in a

graduly capacity loss. As a result the operating

time of your mobile phone may be considerably re-

duced, evan after a rull recharge of the battery.

Regardless of this, the battery has been designed

and manufactured so that it can be recharged and

used for six months after the purchase of your mo-

bile phone. After six months, if the battery is clearly

suffering from loss of performance, we recommend

that your replace it. Please buy only Siemens origi-

nal batteries.

Display quality declaration

For technological reasons, a few small dots with

different colours may appear in the display in ex-

ceptional cases.

Just remember that the appearance of brighter or

darker dots generally does not mean that a fault

has occurred.

ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)

THIS MODEL MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S

REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO

WAVES

Your cellular phone is a radio transmitter and re-

ceiver. It is designed to meet the requirements for

exposure to radio waves established by the Feder-

al Communications Commission (FCC, USA) and

by Health Canada. These requirements include

safety margins designed to assure the protection of

all persons, regardless of age and health. They use

a unit of measurement known as the Specific Ab-

sorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit is 1.6 W/kg av-

eraged over one gram of tissue.

The highest SAR value for this device when tested

at the ear was 0.39 W/kg. Body-worn operations

are restricted to belt-clips, holsters or similar ac-

cessories supplied or designated for this product or

accessories that have no metallic and a minimum

distance of 10 mm to the body. The highest SAR

value in this case was 0.33 W/kg.

Information about this device model can be found

at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid by searching

the equipment authorization system using

FCC ID: PWXA70.

As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest

transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device

while operating is typically below that indicated

above. This is due to automatic changes to the

power level of the device to ensure it only uses the

minimum level required to reach the network.

U.S. FDA

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's

(FDA) Center for Devices and Radiologi-

cal Health Consumer Update on Mobile

Phones

FDA has been receiving inquiries about

the safety of mobile phones, including

cellular phones and PCS phones. The fol-

lowing summarizes what is know – and

what remains unknown – about whether

these products can pose a hazard to

health, and what can be done to mini-

mize any potential risk. This information

may be used to respond

to questions.

Why the concern?

Mobile phones emit low levels of radio

frequency energy (i.e., radio frequency

radiation) in the microwave range while

being used. They also emit very low levels

of radio frequency energy (RF), consid-

ered non-significant, when in the stand-

by mode. It is well known that high levels

of RF can produce biological damage

through heating effects (this is how your

microwave oven is able to cook food).

However, it is not known whether, to

what extent, or through what mecha-

nism, lower levels of RF might cause ad-

verse health effects as well. Although

some research has been done to address

these questions, no clear picture of the bi-

ological effects of this type of radiation

has emerged to date. Thus, the available

science does not allow us to conclude

that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or

that they are unsafe. However, the availa-

ble scientific evidence does not demon-

strate adverse health effects associated

with the use of mobile phones.

What kinds of phones are in question?

Questions have been raised about hand-

held mobile phones, the kind that have a

built-in antenna that is positioned close

to the user's head during normal tele-

phone conversation. These types of mo-

bile phones are of concern because of the

short distance between the phone's an-

tenna – the primary source of the RF –

and the person's head. The exposure to

RF from mobile phones in which the an-

tenna is located at greater distances from

the user (on the outside of a car, for ex-

ample) is drastically lower than that from

hand-held phones, because a person's RF

exposure decreases rapidly with distance

from the source. The safety of so-called

“cordless phones,” which have a base unit

connected to the telephone wiring in a

house and which operate at far lower

power levels and frequencies, has not

been questioned.

How much evidence is there that hand-held

mobile phones might be harmful?

Briefly, there is not enough evidence to

know for sure, either way; however, re-

search efforts are on-going. The existing

scientific evidence is conflicting and

many of the studies that have been done

to date have suffered from flaws in their

research methods. Animal experiments

investigating the effects of RF exposures

characteristic of mobile phones have

yielded conflicting results. A few animal

studies, however, have suggested that

low levels of RF could accelerate the de-

velopment of cancer in laboratory ani-

mals. In one study, mice genetically al-

tered to be predisposed to developing

one type of cancer developed more than

twice as many such cancers when they

were exposed to RF energy compared to

controls. There is much uncertainty

among scientists about whether results

obtained from animal studies apply to the

use of mobile phones. First, it is uncertain

how to apply the results obtained in rats

and mice to humans. Second, many of

the studies showed increased tumor

development used animals that had al-

ready been treated with cancer-causing

chemicals, and other studies exposed the

animals to the RF virtually continuously –

up to 22 hours per day.

For the past five years in the United

States, the mobile phone industry has

supported research into the safety of mo-

bile phones. This research has resulted in

two findings in particular that merit addi-

tional study:

1. In a hospital-based, case-control study,

researchers looked for an association be-

tween mobile phone use and either glio-

ma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic

neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve

sheath). No statistically significant associ-

ation was found between mobile phone

use and acoustic neuroma. There was

also no association between mobile

phone use and gliomas when all types of

gliomas were considered together. It

should be noted that the average length

of mobile phone exposure in this study

was less than three years.

When 20 types of glioma were considered

separately, however, an association was

found between mobile phone use and

one rare type of glioma, neuroepithelli-

omatous tumors. It is possible with multi-

ple comparisons of the same sample that

this association occurred by chance.

Moreover, the risk did not increase with

how often the mobile phone was used, or

the length of the calls. In fact, the risk ac-

tually decreased with cumulative hours of

mobile phone use. Most cancer causing

agents increase risk with increased expo-

sure. An ongoing study of brain cancers

by the National Cancer Institute is expect-

ed to bear on the accuracy and repeata-

bility of these results.1

2. Researchers conducted a large battery

of laboratory tests to assess the effects of

exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic

material. These included tests for several

kinds of abnormalities, including muta-

tions, chromosomal aberrations, DNA

strand breaks, and structural changes in

the genetic material of blood cells called

lymphocytes. None of the tests showed

any effect of the RF except for the micro-

nucleus assay, which detects structural ef-

fects on the genetic material. The cells in

this assay showed changes after exposure

to simulated cell phone radiation, but only

after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible

that exposing the test cells to radiation for

this long resulted in heating. Since this as-

say is known to be sensitive to heating,

heat alone could have caused the abnor-

malities to occur. The data already in the

literature on the response of the micronu-

cleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus fol-

low-up research is necessary. 2

FDA is currently working with govern-

ment, industry, and academic groups to

ensure the proper follow-up to these

industry-funded research findings. Col-

laboration with the Cellular Telecommu-

nications Industry Association (CTIA) in

particular is expected to lead to FDA pro-

viding research recommendations and

scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded

research based on such recommenda-

tions.

Two other studies of interest have been

reported recently in the literature:

• Two groups of 18 people were exposed

to simulated mobile phone signals un-

der laboratory conditions while they

performed cognitive function tests.

There were no changes in the subjects'

ability to recall words, numbers, or pic-

tures, or in their spatial memory, but

they were able to make choices more

quickly in one visual test when they

were exposed to simulated mobile

phone signals. This was the only

change noted among more than

20 variables compared.3

• In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and

425 matched controls, there was no in-

creased risk of brain tumors associated

with mobile phone use. When tumors

did exist in certain locations, however,

they were more likely to be on the side

of the head where the mobile phone

was used. Because this occurred in only

a small number of cases, the increased

likelihood was too small to be statisti-

cally significant.4

In summary, we do not have enough in-

formation at this point to assure the pub-

lic that there are, or are not, any low inci-

dent health problems associated with use

of mobile phones. FDA continues to work

with all parties, including other federal

agencies and industry, to assure that re-

search is undertaken to provide the nec-

essary answers to the outstanding ques-

tions about the safety of mobile phones.

What is known about cases of human cancer

that have been reported in users of hand-held

mobile phones?

Some people who have used mobile

phones have been diagnosed with brain

cancer. But it is important to understand

that this type of cancer also occurs among

people who have not used mobile phones.

In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S. pop-

ulation at a rate of about 6 new cases per

100,000 people each year. At that rate, as-

suming 80 million users of mobile phones

(a number increasing at a rate of about 1

million per month), about 4800 cases of

brain cancer would be expected each year

among those 80 million people, whether

or not they used their phones. Thus it is

not possible to tell whether any individu-

al's cancer arose because of the phone, or

whether it would have happened anyway.

A key question is whether the risk of get-

ting a particular form of cancer is greater

among people who use mobile phones

than among the rest of the population.

One way to answer that question is to

compare the usage of mobile phones

among people with brain cancer with the

use of mobile phones among appropriate-

ly matched people without brain cancer.

This is called a case-control study. The cur-

rent case-control study of brain cancers by

the National Cancer Institute, as well as

the follow-up research to be sponsored by

industry, will begin to generate this type of

information.

What is FDA's role concerning the safety of

mobile phones?

Under the law, FDA does not review the

safety of radiation emitting consumer

products such as mobile phones before

marketing, as it does with new drugs or

medical devices. However, the agency

has authority to take action if mobile

phones are shown to emit radiation at a

level that is hazardous to the user. In such

a case, FDA could require the manufactur-

ers of mobile phones to notify users of

the health hazard and to repair, replace or

recall the phones so that the hazard no

longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do

not justify FDA regulatory actions at this

time, FDA has urged the mobile phone in-

dustry to take a number of steps to assure

public safety. The agency has recom-

mended that the industry:

• Support needed research into possible

biological effects of RF of the type emit-

ted by mobile phones;

• Design mobile phones in a way that

minimizes any RF exposure to the user

that is not necessary for device func-

tion; and

• Cooperate in providing mobile phone

users with the best possible informa-

tion on what is known about possible

effects of mobile phone use on human

health.

At the same time, FDA belongs to an in-

teragency working group of the federal

agencies that have responsibility for dif-

ferent aspects of mobile phone safety to

ensure a coordinated effort at the federal

level. These agencies are:

In the absence of conclusive information

about any possible risk, what can concerned

individuals do?

If there is a risk from these products – and

at this point we do not know that there is

– it is probably very small. But if people

are concerned about avoiding even po-

tential risks, there are simple steps they

can take to do so. For example, time is a

key factor in how much exposure a per-

son receives. Those persons who spend

long periods of time on their hand-held

mobile phones could consider holding

lengthy conversations on conventional

phones and reserving the hand-held

models for shorter conversations or for

situations when other types of phones

are not available.

People who must conduct extended con-

versations in their cars every day could

switch to a type of mobile phone that

places more distance between their bod-

ies and the source of the RF, since the

exposure level drops off dramatically with

distance. For example, they could

switch to:

• a mobile phone in which the antenna is

located outside the vehicle,

• a hand-held phone with a built-in an-

tenna connected to a different antenna

mounted on the outside of the car or

built into a separate package, or

• a headset with a remote antenna to a

mobile phone carried at the waist.

Ten Driving Safety Tips

Your Siemens wireless phone gives you

the power to communicate by voice – al-

most anywhere, anytime. But an impor-

tant responsibility accompanies the bene-

fits of wireless phones, one that every

user must uphold.

When driving a car, driving is your first re-

sponsibility. When using your wireless

phone behind the wheel of a car, practice

good common sense and remember the

following tips:

Get to know your phone and its features such

as speed dial and redial.

Carefully read your instruction manual

and learn to take advantage of valuable

features most phones offer including, au-

tomatic redial and memory dial – most

phones can store up to 99 numbers in

memory dial. Also, work to memorize the

phone keypad so you can use the speed

dial function without taking your atten-

tion off the road.

When available, use a hands-free

device. b

A number of hands-free wireless phone

accessories are readily available today.

Whether you choose an installed mount-

ed device for your phone or a speaker

phone accessory, take advantage of these

devices if they are available to you.

Position your phone within easy reach.

Make sure you place your wireless phone

within easy reach and where you can

grab it without removing your eyes from

the road. If you get an incoming call at an

inconvenient time, let your voicemail an-

swer it for you.

Suspend conversations during hazardous

driving conditions or situations.

Let the person you are speaking to know

you are driving; if necessary, suspend the

call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather

conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can

be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a

driver, your first responsibility is to pay at-

tention to the road.

Do not take notes or look up phone numbers

while driving.

If you are reading an address book or

business card while driving a car, or writ-

ing a “to do” list, then you are not watch-

ing where you are going. It’s common

sense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous

situation because you are reading or writ-

ing and not paying attention to the road

or nearby vehicles.

Dial sensibly and assess the traffic.

If possible, place calls when you are not

moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to

plan your calls before you begin your trip,

or attempt to coincide your calls with

times you may be stopped at a stop sign,

red light or otherwise stationary. But if you

need to dial while driving, follow this sim-

ple tip – dial only a few numbers, check

the road and your mirrors, then continue.

Do not engage in stressful or emotional

conversations that may be distracting.

Stressful or emotional conversations and

driving do not mix – they are distracting

and even dangerous when you are be-

hind the wheel. Make people you are talk-

ing with aware you are driving and if nec-

essary, suspend phone conversations that

have the potential to divert your attention

from the road.

Use your phone to call for help.

Your wireless phone is one of the greatest

tools you can own to protect yourself and

your family in dangerous situations –

with your phone at your side, help is only

three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 in the

case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard,

or medical emergency. Remember, it is a

free call on your wireless phone.

Use your phone to help others in emergencies.

Your wireless phone provides you a per-

fect opportunity to be a “good Samari-

tan” in your community. If you see an

auto accident, crime in progress or other

serious emergencies where lives are in

danger, call 9-1-1, as you would want

others to do for you.

Call roadside assistance or a special wireless

non-emergency assistance number when

necessary.

Certain situations you encounter while

driving may require attention, but are not

urgent enough to merit a call to 9-1-1.

But you can still use your wireless phone

to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down

vehicle posing no serious hazard, a bro-

ken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident

where no one appears injured, or a vehi-

cle you know to be stolen, call roadside

assistance or other special non-emergen-

cy wireless numbers.
