Safety
precautions
Please note:
Switch off in hospitals or in the
vicinity of medical devices, e.g.
pacemakers or hearing aids.
Mobile phones can interfere
with the function of these devic-
es. A minimum distance of 20
cm between pacemaker and
mobile phone should be kept.
When using the mobile phone
hold it to the ear which is farther
removed from the pacemaker.
Always use the handsfree kit for
calls while driving (p. 97).
Mobile phones must be
switched off at all times in an air-
craft. To prevent accidental acti-
vation, see (p. 58).
Switch off near petrol stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants or
blasting operations. Mobile
phones can interfere with the
operation of technical installa-
tions.
The ring tone and hands-free
speaker are reproduced through
the earpiece. Never hold the
handset to your ear when the
handset is ringing or when using
the hands-free speaker mode.
Serious and permanent damage
could occur to your hearing!
SIM card may be removed. Cau-
tion! Small parts could be swal-
lowed by children.
The mains voltage specified on
the power supply unit must not
be exceeded.
We recommend you use only
original Siemens batteries
(100% mercury-free) and charg-
ing devices. Otherwise consid-
erable health risks and damage
to the product cannot be exclud-
ed.
Neither the phone nor the bat-
tery (100% mercury-free) may
be opened under any circum-
stances (except when exchang-
ing the battery, SIM card or top
shell). Any other changes to this
device are strictly prohibited, as
they will invalidate the type ap-
proval criteria required for oper-
ation of the unit.
Dispose of used batteries and
phones according to the legal
regulations.
Mobile phones can interfere
with the operation of nearby
TVs, radios or PCs.
We recommend you use only
original Siemens accessories to
avoid possible damage and to
comply with the existing regula-
tions.
Improper use invalidates the warranty!

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 effi-
ciently:
Extend your antenna fully (if appli-
cable).
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.
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 ar-
eas 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 ar-
eas 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 responsi-
bility;
Use hands-free operation, if avail-
able;
Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call, if driv-
ing conditions so require.
Important
Read this information before using
your wireless handheld phone.
As this mobile phone is equipped
with a fixed (non-retractable) an-
tenna, some paragraphs in the be-
low text may not be applicable.

For vehicles equipped with Air
Bags
An air bag inflates with great force.
DO NOT place objects, including ei-
ther installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment ar-
ea. If in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, serious injury could re-
sult.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from radiofrequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturer’s
Association recommends that a min-
imum separation of six inches (6”) be
maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommenda-
tions are consistent with the inde-
pendent research by and recommen-
dations 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
pacemaker to minimize the poten-
tial for interference;
should turn the phone OFF imme-
diately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may in-
terfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your service
provider or your hearing aid manu-
facturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medi-
cal devices, consult the manufactur-
ers of your devices to determine if
they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtain-
ing this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations post-
ed in these areas instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly in-
stalled or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehi-
cle. 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 before board-
ing an airplane.
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 op-
erations, turn your phone OFF when
in a “blasting area” or in areas post-
ed: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey
all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any ar-
ea with a potentially explosive atmo-
sphere and obey all signs and in-
structions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire re-
sulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Areas with a potentially explosive at-
mosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include: fueling
areas such as gasoline stations; be-
low deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; 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
powders; 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 emergency 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,
operates using radio signals, wire-
less and landline networks, and user-
programmed functions. Because of
this, connections in all conditions
cannot be guaranteed. Therefore,
you should never rely solely on any
wireless phone for essential commu-
nications (for example, medical
emergencies). Remember - to make
or receive any calls, the phone must
be switched on and be used in a ser-
vice area that has adequate signal
strength. Emergency 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 at-
tempting 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
emergency calls.
When making an emergency call, re-
member to give all of the necessary
information as accurately as possi-
ble. 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 permis-
sion to do so.

SAR
(Specific
Absorption
Rate)
THIS SIEMENS C56 PHONE
MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S RE-
QUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless Siemens C56 phone is
a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for expo-
sure to radiofrequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Govern-
ment. These limits are part of com-
prehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were de-
veloped by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a sub-
stantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, re-
gardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.*
Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions speci-
fied by the FCC with the phone trans-
mitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the
phone is designed to operate at mul-
tiple power levels so as to use only
the power required to reach the net-
work. In general, the closer you are
to a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for
sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does
not exceed the limit established by
the government-adopted require-
ment for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations
(for example, at the ear and worn on
the body) as required by the FCC for
each model. The highest SAR value
for this Siemens C56 phone when
tested for use at the ear is 0.88 W/kg,
and when worn on the body, as de-
scribed in this user guide, is 0.58 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending
upon available accessories and FCC
requirements.) While there may be
differences between the SAR levels
of various phones and at various po-
sitions, they all meet the govern-
ment requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this Siemens C56
phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR in-
formation on this Siemens C56
phone is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant
section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID PWX-C56.

For body worn operation, to main-
tain compliance with FCC RF expo-
sure guidelines, use only Siemens
approved accessories. When carry-
ing the phone while it is on, use the
specific Siemens belt clip that has
been tested for compliance.
Use of non-Siemens-approved acces-
sories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines and should be avoided.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR
limit for mobile phones used by the public is
1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram
of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-
stantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.

tion Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellu-
lar Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) web-site at:

HTTP is the name for the protocol
that controls transmission of data in
the Internet. Via HTTP connections,
you can download applications and
games (Games & More, p. 43) and
ring tones (sound manager, p. 47)
for several voices (polyphone ring
tones) from the Internet. For infor-
mation on the configuration of the
HTTP connection using HTTP profiles
see p. 70.

JAD
§ and JAR
¦
Three file types occur when using
Java™:
The JAD file (Java Descriptor)
These files contain information on
the application (JAR file) and their
address for downloading. By activat-
ing a JAD file, the connection to the
Internet is established and the exe-
cutable application is loaded.
The JAR file (Java archive)
This file includes the executable ap-
plication. By activating a JAR file, the
application is started.

Combined files
These files result from JAR files being
loaded via JAD files. In this case the
JAD file is inserted into the JAR file.
The display icon is the same as for
JAR files.
Java
Java™ allows you to use numerous
games and applications on your mo-
bile phone. You can download these
applications from the Internet and
install them on your mobile phone.
The application can be started after
installation. Please refer to the oper-
ating instructions for each applica-
tion.
Siemens does not guarantee that the
downloaded and installed Java appli-
cations work well with your mobile
phone (see also p. 45).
T Message store full
The SIM memory is full when the
message symbol flashes. No more
SMS messages can be received. De-
lete or save messages (p. 36).
Operating times
The operating times depend on the
operating conditions:
If the phone is exposed to heat the
standby time is considerably re-
duced. Avoid exposing the phone to
direct sunlight or placing it on a radi-
ator.
Outside the home network
If you are outside your "home net-
work" your phone automatically di-
als a different GSM network (p. 75).
Own numbers
You can enter your "own numbers"
in the Phonebook (e.g. fax) for infor-
mation. These numbers can be
changed or deleted and also sent as
an SMS.
The following icons appear when using
Java:

Phone number memo
If you enter a number with the key-
pad during a call, the person on the
other end of the line can hear the
numbers being entered. It can be
stored or dialled after the current call
has ended.
Phone number/URL in SMS
Numbers §highlighted§ in the message
can be dialled (press
A) or they can
be stored in the Phonebook (p. 25).
URLs (Internet addresses) and the
HTTP download can be accessed di-
rectly (press
A). Check your WAP
(p. 42) and HTTP settings (p. 44)!
Quality declaration for battery
The capacity of your mobile phone
battery is reduced each time you
charge/discharge it. Storing the bat-
tery at temperatures that are too
high or too low also causes a gradual
loss of capacity. This can cause the
operating times of your mobile
phone to reduce significantly per us-
age cycle.
The battery is, however, designed to
be charged and fully discharged
within a period of six months from
when the mobile phone was pur-
chased. Following this six-month pe-
riod, we recommend replacing your
battery if you experience a signifi-
cant drop in performance. Only pur-
chase original Siemens batteries.
Quick menu selection
All menu functions are numbered in-
ternally. By entering these numbers
one after the other the function may
be started at once.
For example, to compose a new
SMS:
§ Menu § Press.
1for Messages
1for New SMS
If your service provider offers addi-
tional functions (SIM services) in the
menu system, the numerical order
may change.
Service numbers
Numbers that you are offered by
your service provider may be stored
in the Phonebook. You can call local
or nationwide information services
or use services of the service provid-
er.
Signal strength
_Strong signal.
^A weak signal reduces the
call quality and may lead
to loss of the connection.
Change your location.

Specifica-
tions Exposure to
radiofrequency signals
Your wireless handheld portable
telephone is a low power radio trans-
mitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out radiofre-
quency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, The Federal Com-
munications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with
safety levels for hand-held wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consis-
tent with the safety standards previ-
ously set by both U.S. and interna-
tional standards bodies:
American National Standards In-
stitute (ANSI) C95.1 (1992)
National Council of Radiation Pro-
tection and Measurement (NCRP)
Report 86 (1986)
International Commission of Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (IC-
NIRP) 1996
Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety
Code 6
Those standards were based on com-
prehensive and periodic evaluations
of the relevant scientific literature.
For example, over 120 scientists, en-
gineers, and physicians from univer-
sities, government health agencies,
and industry reviewed the available
body of research to develop the ANSI
standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies
with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards). For additional informa-
tion concerning exposure to radio
frequency signal, see the statement
by the FDA at the end of this user
guide.

U.S. FDA
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration's (FDA) Center
for Devices and Radiological
Health Consumer Update on
Mobile Phones
FDA has been receiving inquiries
about the safety of mobile phones,
including cellular phones and PCS
phones. The following summarizes
what is know — and what remains
unknown — about whether these
products can pose a hazard to
health, and what can be done to
minimize any potential risk. This in-
formation may be used to respond
to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of ra-
dio frequency energy (i.e., radio fre-
quency radiation) in the microwave
range while being used. They also
emit very low levels of radio frequen-
cy energy (RF), considered non-sig-
nificant, 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 mechanism, lower levels of RF
might cause adverse health effects
as well. Although some research has
been done to address these ques-
tions, no clear picture of the biologi-
cal effects of this type of radiation
has emerged to date. Thus, the avail-
able science does not allow us to
conclude that mobile phones are ab-
solutely safe, or that they are unsafe.
However, the available scientific evi-
dence does not demonstrate ad-
verse 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 telephone conversa-
tion. These types of mobile 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 ex-
posure to RF from mobile phones in
which the antenna is located at
greater distances from the user (on
the outside of a car, for example) is
drastically lower than that from
hand-held phones, because a per-
son'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; howev-
er, research 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 inves-
tigating the effects of RF exposures
characteristic of mobile phones have
yielded conflicting results. A few ani-
mal studies, however, have suggest-
ed that low levels of RF could accel-
erate the development of cancer in
laboratory animals. In one study,
mice genetically altered to be predis-
posed to developing one type of can-
cer 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 re-
sults 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 stud-
ies showed increased tumor devel-
opment used animals that had al-
ready been treated with cancer-
causing chemicals, and other studies
exposed the animals to the RF virtu-
ally 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 safe-
ty of mobile phones. This research
has resulted in two findings in partic-
ular that merit additional study:
1. In a hospital-based, case-control
study, researchers looked for an as-
sociation between mobile phone use
and either glioma (a type of brain
cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a be-
nign tumor of the nerve sheath). No
statistically significant association
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 ex-
posure in this study was less than
three years.
When 20 types of glioma were con-
sidered separately, however, an as-
sociation was found between mobile
phone use and one rare type of glio-
ma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors.
It is possible with multiple compari-
sons of the same sample that this as-
sociation occurred by chance. More-
over, the risk did not increase with
how often the mobile phone was
used, or the length of the calls. In
fact, the risk actually decreased with
cumulative hours of mobile phone
use. Most cancer causing agents in-
crease risk with increased exposure.
An ongoing study of brain cancers by
the National Cancer Institute is ex-
pected to bear on the accuracy and
repeatability 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 ab-
normalities, including mutations,
chromosomal aberrations, DNA
strand breaks, and structural chang-
es in the genetic material of blood
cells called lymphocytes. None of
the tests showed any effect of the RF
except for the micronucleus assay,
which detects structural effects on
the genetic material. The cells in this
assay showed changes after expo-
sure to simulated cell phone radia-
tion, but only after 24 hours of expo-
sure. It is possible that exposing the
test cells to radiation for this long re-
sulted in heating. Since this assay is
known to be sensitive to heating,
heat alone could have caused the ab-
normalities to occur. The data al-
ready in the literature on the re-
sponse of the micronucleus assay to
RF are conflicting. Thus follow-up re-
search is necessary. 2
FDA is currently working with
government, industry, and academic
groups to ensure the proper follow-
up to these industry-funded
research findings. Collaboration with
the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association (CTIA) in
particular is expected to lead to FDA
providing research
recommendations and scientific
oversight of new CTIA-funded
research based on such
recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have
been reported recently in the litera-
ture:
Two groups of 18 people were ex-
posed to simulated mobile phone
signals under laboratory condi-
tions while they performed cogni-
tive 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 choic-
es more quickly in one visual test
when they were exposed to simu-
lated mobile phone signals. This
was the only change noted among
more than 20 variables com-
pared.3
In a study of 209 brain tumor cas-
es and 425 matched controls,
there was no increased risk of
brain tumors associated with mo-
bile phone use. When tumors did
exist in certain locations, howev-
er, 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 num-
ber of cases, the increased likeli-
hood was too small to be
statistically significant.4
In summary, we do not have enough
information at this point to assure
the public that there are, or are not,
any low incident health problems as-
sociated with use of mobile phones.

ties, including other federal agencies
and industry, to assure that research
is undertaken to provide the neces-
sary answers to the outstanding
questions 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. popu-
lation at a rate of about 6 new cases
per 100,000 people each year. At
that rate, assuming 80 million users
of mobile phones (a number increas-
ing 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 individual's cancer
arose because of the phone, or
whether it would have happened
anyway. A key question is whether
the risk of getting 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 com-
pare the usage of mobile phones
among people with brain cancer
with the use of mobile phones
among appropriately matched peo-
ple without brain cancer. This is
called a case-control study. The cur-
rent case-control study of brain can-
cers 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 con-
sumer 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 manu-
facturers of mobile phones to notify
users of the health hazard and to re-
pair, 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 mo-
bile phone industry to take a number
of steps to assure public safety. The
agency has recommended that the
industry:
Support needed research into pos-
sible biological effects of RF of the
type emitted by mobile phones;
Design mobile phones in a way
that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for
device function; and

Cooperate in providing mobile
phone users with the best possible
information on what is known
about possible effects of mobile
phone use on human health.
At the same time, FDA belongs to an
interagency working group of the
federal agencies that have responsi-
bility for different aspects of mobile
phone safety to ensure a coordinat-
ed effort at the federal level. These
agencies are:
National Institute for Occupation-
al Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Federal Communications Com-
mission
Occupational Health and Safety
Administration
National Telecommunications and
Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health also
participates in this group.
In the absence of conclusive information
about any possible risk, what can con-
cerned 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 potential 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 con-
sider holding lengthy conversations
on conventional phones and reserv-
ing the hand-held models for shorter
conversations or for situations when
other types of phones are not avail-
able.
People who must conduct extended
conversations in their cars every day
could switch to a type of mobile
phone that places more distance be-
tween their bodies 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 an-
tenna is located outside the vehi-
cle,
a hand-held phone with a built-in
antenna 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 — almost anywhere, anytime.
But an important responsibility ac-
companies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your
first responsibility. 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 man-
ual and learn to take advantage of
valuable features most phones offer
including, automatic 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 attention off the road.
When available, use a hands-free device.
A number of hands-free wireless
phone accessories are readily avail-
able today. Whether you choose an
installed mounted 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 voice mail answer it for
you.
Suspend conversations during hazard-
ous 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 hazard-
ous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driv-
er, your first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.
Do not take notes or look up phone num-
bers while driving.
If you are reading an address book or
business card while driving a car, or
writing a “to do” list, then you are not
watching where you are going. It’s
common sense. Don’t get caught in a
dangerous situation because you are
reading or writing and not paying at-
tention to the road or nearby vehi-
cles.

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 co-
incide 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 behind the wheel.
Make people you are talking with
aware you are driving and if neces-
sary, 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 pro-
tect yourself and your family in dan-
gerous 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 emer-
gencies.
Your wireless phone provides you a
perfect opportunity to be a “good
Samaritan” in your community. If
you see an auto accident, crime in
progress or other serious emergen-
cies 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 broken
traffic signal, a minor traffic accident
where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or other special
non-emergency wireless numbers.
