Safety precautions

M56 Barracuda long, am english, A31008-H6350-A40-1-4A19 (28. July 2003,

Safety pre-

cautions

Important:

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

requirements and local restric-

tions when using the phone. For

example in airplanes, filling sta-

tions, hospitals or while driving.

Cell phones can interfere with

the functioning of medical

devices such as hearing aids or

pacemakers. Keep at least

20 cm/9 inches between phone

and pacemaker. When using

the cell phone hold it to the ear

which is further away from the

pacemaker. For more infor-

mation consult your physician.

The SIM card and

MultiMediaCard may be

removed. Caution! Small parts

like this could be swallowed by

young children.

The mains voltage specified on

the power supply unit (Volt)

must not be exceeded. Other-

wise the charging device may

be destroyed.

The ring tone (p. 75), info tones

(p. 76) and handsfree talking

are reproduced through the

loudspeaker. Do not hold the

phone to your ear when it rings

or when you have switched on

the handsfree function (p. 26).

Otherwise you risk serious per-

manent damage to your hear-

ing.

Only use original Siemens bat-

teries (100 % mercury-free) and

– charging devices. Otherwise

you risk serious damage to

health and property. The battery

could explode, for instance.

You may only open the phone to

replace the battery (100 % mer-

cury-free), SIM card or

MultiMediaCard. You must not

open the battery under any

circumstances. All other

changes to this device are

strictly prohibited and will invali-

date the operating license.

Please dispose of unwanted

batteries and phones as permit-

ted by the laws in your country.

The phone may cause interfer-

ence in the vicinity of TV sets,

radios and PCs.

Use Siemens original accesso-

ries only. This will avoid poten-

tial risks to health or property

and ensure compliance with all

relevant regulations.

Improper use will invalidate the warranty!

Safety Information 5

SX1 K1 am-en, A31008-H6500-A1-1-7619 (28. July 2003, 16:51)

Safety

Information

Antenna care

Use only the supplied or an approved

replacement antenna. Unauthorized

antennas, 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

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

mobile 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, if

available;

• Pull off the road and park before

making or answering a call, if

driving conditions so require.

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.

Safety Information

SX1 K1 am-en, A31008-H6500-A1-1-7619 (28. July 2003, 16:51)

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 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

minimum separation of six inches

(6”) be maintained between a

handheld wireless phone and a

pacemaker to avoid potential

interference with the pacemaker.

These recommendations are

consistent with the independent

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

pacemaker to minimize the

potential for interference;

• should turn the phone OFF

immediately if there is any reason

to suspect that interference is

taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may

interfere 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

alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal

medical devices, consult the

manufacturers of your devices to

determine if they are adequately

shielded from external RF energy.

Your physician may be able to assist

you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care

facilities when any regulations

posted in these areas instruct you to

do so. Hospitals or health care

Safety Information 7

SX1 K1 am-en, A31008-H6500-A1-1-7619 (28. July 2003, 16:51)

facilities may be using equipment

that could be sensitive to external RF

energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly

installed or inadequately shielded

electronic systems in motor vehicles.

Check with the manufacturer or its

representative regarding 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

operations, turn your phone OFF

when in a “blasting area” or in areas

posted: “Turn off two-way radio.”

Obey all signs and instructions.

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 explosion or fire

resulting in bodily injury or even

death.

Areas with a potentially explosive

atmosphere 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

facilities; vehicles using liquefied

petroleum gas (such as propane or

butane); areas where the air

contains chemicals or particles, 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,

wireless and landline networks, and

user-programmed functions.

Because of this, connections in all

conditions cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, you should never rely

Safety Information

SX1 K1 am-en, A31008-H6500-A1-1-7619 (28. July 2003, 16:51)

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.

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

regarding 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

emergency calls.

When making an emergency call,

remember to give all of the

necessary information 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.

SAR (Cell Phone Designation) 9

SAR (Cell

Phone

Designation)

RF EXPOSURE /SPECIFIC

ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)

INFORMATION

THIS SIEMENS M56 PHONE MEETS

THE GOVERNMENT'S

REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS.

Your cell phone is a radio transmitter

and receiver. It is designed and man-

ufactured not to exceed the emission

limits for exposure to radio fre-

quency (RF) energy established by

the Federal Communications Com-

mission (FCC) of the U.S. Govern-

ment and by Health Canada. These

limits are part of comprehensive

guidelines and establish permitted

levels of RF energy for the general

population. The guidelines were

developed and confirmed by inde-

pendent scientific organizations

through periodic and thorough eval-

uation of scientific studies*. The lim-

its include a substantial safety mar-

gin designed to assure the safety of

all persons, regardless of age and

health.

The exposure standard for cell

phones employs a unit of measure-

ment known as the Specific Absorp-

tion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit

established by the FCC and by Health

Canada is 1.6 W/kg**. Tests for SAR

are conducted using standard oper-

ating positions accepted by the FCC

and by Industry Canada with the

phone transmitting at its highest cer-

tified power level in all tested fre-

quency 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 multiple power levels so

as to use only the power required to

reach the network. In general, the

closer you are to a wireless base sta-

tion, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for

sale to the public, it must be tested

and the manufacturer must certify to

the FCC and Industry Canada that it

does not exceed the limit estab-

lished by each government for safe

exposure. The tests are performed in

positions and locations (e.g., at the

ear and worn on the body), reported

to the FCC and available for review

by Industry Canada. The highest SAR

value for this model phone when

testest for use at the ear is

0.98 W/kg***

and when worn on the body+ is

0.58 W/kg***

Additional information on Specific

Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found

on the Cellular Telecommunications

Internet Association (CTIA) web-site

at www.phonefacts.net or the Cana-

dian Wireless Telecommunications

Association (CWTA) website

www.cwta.ca.

SAR information on this Siemens

M56 phone is on file with the FCC

and can be found under the Display

SAR (Cell Phone Designation)

M56 Barracuda long, am english, A31008-H6350-A40-1-4A19 (28. July 2003,

While there may be differences

between the SAR levels of various

phones and at various positions, all

Siemens products meet the

governmental requirements for safe

RF exposure.

+ For body worn operation, this

mobile phone has been tested

and meets FCC RF exposure

guidelines when used with a

Siemens accesory designated for

this product or when used with a

carry accessory that contains no

metal and that positions the

handset at least 1.5 cm/0.59 in

from the body. Use of other

carry accessories may not ensure

compliance with FCC RF

exposure guidelines.

* The World Health Organization

(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27,

Switzerland), on the basis of the

actual knowledge, does not see

any necessity for special

precautionary measures when

using cell phones.

Chg.phonecode

(Change phone code)

You define the phone code

(4–8 digits) when you call up a

phone-code protected function for

the first time (e.g. Babysitter p. 29).

It is then valid for all phone-code

protected functions.

Following the third unsuccessful

attempt, access to the phone code

and the functions that use it is

denied. If this happens please con-

tact Siemens Service (p. 127).

Clear SIM card barring

If the PIN is entered incorrectly three

times, the SIM card is barred. Enter

the PUK (MASTER PIN), provided by

your service provider with the SIM

card, according to instructions. If the

PUK (MASTER PIN) has been lost,

please contact your service provider.

Preventing accidental

activation

Even if PIN entry is deactivated (see

p. 21), confirmation is required to

switch on the phone.

This prevents the phone from being

switched on accidentally, e. g. when

carried in a pocket or while you are

on an aircraft.

0 MMS The Multimedia Messaging Service

enables you to send texts, pictures

(also photos) and sounds in a com-

bined message to another cell phone

or to an e-mail address. All elements

of an MMS message are merged to

form a "slide show".

Depending on your phone's settings,

you will receive either the complete

message automatically or notifica-

tion that an MMS has been saved in

the network, giving sender and size

details. You may then download it to

your phone to read it.

Ask your service provider whether

this service is available. You may

need to register for this service sepa-

rately.

Writing/sending MMS

messages

An MMS consists of the address

header and the content.

An MMS message can consist of a

series of pages, each one of which

may include a combination of text,

sounds and pictures.

Texts can be written with the help of

T9 (p. 31).

Pictures and graphics that have been

produced with accessories such as

digital cameras can be attached in

JPEG, WBMP, GIF or GIF format. See

also File manager, p. 111.

Music is sent and received in a MIDI

file, single tones/sounds in an AMR

file.

EMS

(Enhanced Messaging Service)

In addition to (formatted) texts, you

can also use this service to send

• pictures (bitmaps) up to

32 x 32 pixels (black and white),

•tones,

• animations (sequence of

4 pictures) 8 x 8 and 16 x 16 pixels

(black and white).

The items referred to above can be

sent together in an SMS or individu-

ally.

Pictures and sounds can also be sent

as ring tones and screensavers with

EMS.

This can result in messages that are

longer than a single SMS. If this hap-

pens the individual SMSs are linked

together into a single message.

GPRS connection

(General Packet Radio Service)

GPRS is a new method for transmit-

ting data faster in the cell phone net-

work. Use GPRS and if the network

has sufficient capacity, you can be

connected to the Internet perma-

nently.

Some service providers do not yet

support this service.

Highlighting mode

With some applications (e.g.

Addressbook) one or more entries in

a list can be highlighted, to carry out

a function jointly.

§Options§ Open menu.

HTTP

(Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

HTTP indicates the protocol which

governs the transfer of data on the

Internet. You can download applica-

tions and games (Games & More,

p. 69) and multi-tone (polyphone)

ring tones from the Internet via

HTTP. Configure the HTTP connec-

tion using the HTTP profiles (p. 71).

International dialing codes

International dialing codes are

stored in your phone. In standby

mode (the  is omitted in the

Phonebook):

Hold down until a "+"-is

displayed. This replaces

the first two digits of the

international dialing

code.

§+List§ Press.

and press the Call key.

JAD q and JAR r

Three types of file are possible when

Java™ is used:

The JAD file (Java Descriptor)

These files contain information

about the application (JAR file) plus

their address for downloading. Acti-

vating a JAD file establishes the con-

nection to the Internet and the exe-

cutable application is loaded.

The JAR file (Java Archive)

This file contains the executable

application. Activating a JAR file

starts the application.

Combined files

These files occur if JAR files are

loaded via JAD files. In this case the

JAD file is added to the JAR file. The

icon is the same as for JAR files.

The following icons appear for Java™:

qJAD file

rJAR file

Java™

Java™ offers you the opportunity to

use numerous games and applica-

tions on your cell phone. You can

load these applications from the

Internet and install them on your cell

phone. Once installed the applica-

tion can be started. Please always

observe the relevant operating

instructions.

Siemens, however, does not guaran-

tee that downloaded and installed

Java applications will work perfectly

for New SMS

' Message memory full

If the message icon flashes the SIM

memory is full. No more SMS mes-

sages can be received. Delete or file

text messages (p. 50).

Operating time

A full battery will deliver 60 to

250 hours of standby time or 100 to

The operating time depends upon

the use:

Extreme temperatures considerably

reduce the phone’s standby time.

Avoid placing the phone in the sun

or on a heater.

Outside your home network

If you are outside your home net-

work, your phone automatically dials

another GSM network (p. 86).

Own numbers

Enter "own" phone numbers in

Phonebook (e.g., fax) for informa-

tion. These numbers can be

changed, deleted and also sent as an

Specifications 129

M56 Barracuda long, am english, A31008-H6350-A40-1-4A19 (28. July 2003,

Specifica-

tions Exposure to radiofre-

quency 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 Institute

(ANSI) C95.1 (1992)

• National Council of Radiation Protection

and Measurement (NCRP) Report 86

(1986)

• International Commission of Non-Ionizing

Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 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,

engineers, and physicians from uni-

versities, government health agen-

cies, and industry reviewed the avail-

able 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.

Care and

maintenance

Your phone has been designed and

crafted with great care and attention

and should also be treated with care.

The suggestions below will help you

to enjoy your phone for many years.

• Protect your phone from moisture and

humidity! Precipitation, humidity and liq-

uids contain minerals that will corrode

remove the battery!

• Do not use or store the phone in dusty,

dirty areas. Its moving parts may become

damaged.

• Do not store the phone in hot areas. 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 areas.

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 cir-

cuit boards!

• Do not use abrasive chemicals, cleaning

solvents, or strong detergents to clean the

phone!

U.S. FDA

The U.S. Food and Drug Admin-

istration'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

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 micro-

wave range while being used. They

also emit very low levels of radio fre-

quency energy (RF), considered non-

significant, when in the stand-by

mode. It is well known that high lev-

els of RF can produce biological dam-

age 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

absolutely safe, or that they are

unsafe. However, the available sci-

entific evidence does not demon-

strate adverse health effects associ-

ated 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

antenna — the primary source of the

RF — and the person's head. The

exposure 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.

U.S. FDA

134

M56 Barracuda long, am english, A31008-H6350-A40-1-4A19 (28. July 2003,

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; how-

ever, 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 sug-

gested that low levels of RF could

accelerate the development of can-

cer in laboratory animals. In one

study, mice genetically altered 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 ani-

mal 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 already been

treated with cancer-causing chemi-

cals, and other studies exposed the

animals to the RF virtually continu-

ously — 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 mobile phones. This

research has resulted in two findings

in particular that merit additional

study:

1. In a hospital-based, case-control

study, researchers looked for an

association between mobile phone

use and either glioma (a type of

brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a

benign tumor of the nerve sheath).

No statistically significant associa-

tion was found between mobile

phone use and acoustic neuroma.

There was also no association

between mobile phone use and glio-

mas 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 con-

sidered separately, however, an

association was found between

mobile phone use and one rare type

of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous

tumors. It is possible with multiple

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 actually

decreased with cumulative hours of

mobile phone use. Most cancer caus-

ing agents increase risk with

increased exposure. An ongoing

study of brain cancers by the

U.S. FDA 135

M56 Barracuda long, am english, A31008-H6350-A40-1-4A19 (28. July 2003,

National Cancer Institute is expected

to bear on the accuracy and repeat-

ability 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 mutations,

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 micronucleus

assay, which detects structural

effects 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 assay is known to be sensi-

tive to heating, heat alone could

have caused the abnormalities to

occur. The data already in the litera-

ture on the response of the micronu-

cleus assay to RF are conflicting.

Thus follow-up research is neces-

sary. 2

FDA is currently working with gov-

ernment, industry, and academic

groups to ensure the proper follow-

up to these industry-funded research

findings. Collaboration with the Cel-

lular Telecommunications Internet

Association (CTIA) in particular is

expected to lead to FDA providing

research recommendations and sci-

entific oversight of new CTIA-funded

research based on such recommen-

dations.

Two other studies of interest have

been reported recently in the litera-

ture:

• Two groups of 18 people were

exposed to simulated mobile

phone signals under laboratory

conditions while they performed

cognitive function tests. There

were no changes in the subjects'

ability to recall words, numbers,

or pictures, 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 increased risk of

brain tumors associated with

mobile phone use. When tumors

did exist in certain locations, how-

ever, 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,

U.S. FDA

136

M56 Barracuda long, am english, A31008-H6350-A40-1-4A19 (28. July 2003,

any low incident health problems

associated with use of mobile

phones. FDA continues to work with

all parties, including other federal

agencies and industry, to assure that

research is undertaken to provide

the necessary answers to the out-

standing 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

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 industry to take a

number of steps to assure public

safety. The agency has recom-

mended that the industry:

• Support needed research into pos-

sible biological effects of RF of the

type emitted by mobile phones;

U.S. FDA 137

M56 Barracuda long, am english, A31008-H6350-A40-1-4A19 (28. July 2003,

• 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 coordi-

nated effort at the federal level.

These agencies are:

• National Institute for Occupa-

tional 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

between 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

antenna is located outside the

vehicle,

• 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

140

M56 Barracuda long, am english, A31008-H6350-A40-1-4A19 (28. July 2003,

Ten Driving

Safety Tips

Your Siemens wireless phone gives

you the power to communicate by

voice – almost anywhere, anytime.

But an important responsibility

accompanies 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 voicemail answer 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 hazard-

ous, but so is heavy traffic. As a

driver, your first responsibility is to

pay attention 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

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

Ten Driving Safety Tips 141

M56 Barracuda long, am english, A31008-H6350-A40-1-4A19 (28. July 2003,

reading or writing and not paying

attention 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

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 simple tip – dial only a few num-

bers, check the road and your mir-

rors, 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 dis-

tracting and even dangerous when

you are behind the wheel. Make peo-

ple you are talking with aware you

are driving and if necessary, 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 num-

bers 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.

Battery qual-

ity statement

The capacity of your mobile phone

battery will reduce each time it is

charged/emptied. Storage at too

high or low temperatures will also

result in a gradual capacity loss. As a

result the operating time of your

mobile phone may be considerably

reduced, even after a full 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 mobile phone. After six

months, if the battery is clearly suf-

fering from loss of performance, we

recommend that you replace it.

Please buy only Siemens original
