Safety
precautions NOTE:
Review these operating instructions and
safety precautions carefully before use.
Do not use mobile phone in hos-
pitals or in the vicinity of medical
devices, such as pacemakers or
hearing aids. Mobile phones
may interfere with the operation
of these devices. Keep a mini-
mum distance of 8" between
pacemaker and mobile phone.
When using the mobile phone
hold it to the ear farthest from
the pacemaker.
Always use the handsfree kit to
make calls while driving
(p. 134).
Turn off mobile phone while
aboard any aircraft. To prevent
accidental activation, see
(p. 93).
Do not use mobile phone near
gas stations, fuel depots, chem-
ical plants or blasting opera-
tions. Mobile phones may cause
interference with the operation
of technical installations.
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!
Caution! SIM card may be re-
moved. Small parts could be
swallowed by children.
Do not exceed the mains volt-
age (V) specified on the power
supply unit.
Do not use an optical magnifier
to look at the activated infrared
interface [Class 1 LED product
(classification as per
IEC 60825-1)].
Only use original Siemens bat-
teries (100% mercury-free) and
charging devices. Use of non-
Siemens batteries and/or charg-
ing devices may cause explo-
sion resulting in serious injury or
property damage.
It is recommended that you
open the phone only to replace
the battery (100% mercury-free)
or SIM card. Do not open the
battery under any circumstanc-
es. Any other changes to this
device may invalidate the FCC
authorization required for opera-
tion of the unit, and are strictly
prohibited.
Dispose of used batteries and
phones in accordance with ap-
plicable laws and safety regula-
tions.
Mobile phones may interfere
with the operation of nearby
TVs, radios or PCs.
Only use original Siemens ac-
cessories in order to avoid pos-
sible injury and property
damage and to ensure compli-
ance with applicable laws and
regulations.
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 are-
as 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.
For vehicles equipped with Air
Bags
An air bag inflates with great force.
DO NOT place objects, including ei-
ther installed or portable wireless
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.

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 at-
mosphere 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 serv-
ice 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.

RF EXPOSURE /SPECIFIC
ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
INFORMATION
THIS SIEMENS SL55 PHONE MEETS
THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO ELECTRO-
MAGNETIC 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
standards include a substantial
safety margin 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
0.30 W/kg***
and when worn on the body+ is
1.13 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.
While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, all
Siemens products meet the govern-
mental 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
carry accessory that contains no
metal and that positions the
handset at least 0.001 cm from
the body. Use of other carry
accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF expo-
sure guidelines.
* The World Health Organization
(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27,

actual knowledge, does not see
any necessity for special precau-
tionary measures when using
cell phones.

] MMS The Multimedia Messaging Service
enables you to send texts, pictures
(also photos) and sounds in a
combined message to another
mobile 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
notification 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
separately.
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. 32).
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. 114.
Music is sent and received in a MIDI
file, single tones/sounds in an AMR
file. Up to 48 KB can be played back.

Dial-up access GPRS
(General Packet Radio Service)
GPRS is a new method for
transmitting data faster in the cell
phone network. If you use GPRS and
the network has sufficient capacity,
you can be connected to the Internet
permanently.
Some service providers do not yet
support this service.
EMS
(Enhanced Messaging Service)
Besides formatted texts, you can also
send
• pictures (bitmaps) up to max.
32 x 32 pixels (black and white),
• sounds,
• animations (sequence of 4 pictures)
8 x 8 and 16 x 16 pixels (black and white),
using the EMS.
The elements listed above can be
transmitted individually or together
in an SMS.
With EMS, pictures and sounds can
also be sent (e.g. as screensavers
and ring tones).
This can result in messages
exceeding the length of a single
SMS. In this case individual text
messages are concatenated to form
a single message.

JAD ¦ and JAR §
Three file types occur when using
Java™:
The JAD file (Java Descriptor)
This file contains information on the
application (JAR file) and its address
for downloading. By activating a JAD
file, the connection to the Internet is
established and the executable
application is loaded.
The JAR file (Java archive)
This file contains the executable
application. 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 cell
phone. You can download these
applications from the Internet and
install them on your cell phone. The
application can be started after
installation. Please refer to the

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.

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
liquids contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits. Nevertheless, should
your phone become wet, disconnect it
immediately from the power supply and
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
electronic 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
circuit boards!
• Do not use abrasive 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 are not working properly,
take them to your nearest qualified
service outlet. The personnel there
will assist you and, if necessary,
repair the device.

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
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),
considered 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 mechanism,
lower levels of RF might cause
adverse health effects as well.
Although some research has been
done to address these questions, no
clear picture of the biological 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 available scientific evidence does
not demonstrate 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 telephone
conversation. 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 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, 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 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 development of cancer 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
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 already 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 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
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 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, 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
causing agents increase risk with
increased exposure. An ongoing

study of brain cancers by the
National Cancer Institute is expected
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
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
sensitive to heating, heat alone
could have caused the abnormalities
to occur. The data already in the
literature on the response of the
micronucleus assay to RF are
conflicting. Thus follow-up research
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
Internet 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
literature:
• 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, 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 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
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
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.
population 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
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
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 compare the usage of
mobile phones among people with
brain cancer with the use of mobile
phones among appropriately
matched people without brain
cancer. This is called a case-control
study. The current 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
manufacturers 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
recommended that the industry:
• Support needed research into possible
biological effects of RF of the type emitted
by mobile phones;

U.S. FDA 139

• 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
responsibility for different aspects of
mobile phone safety to ensure a
coordinated effort at the federal
level. These agencies are:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Communications Commission
• 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
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 potential risks,
there are simple steps they can take
to do so. For example, time is a key
factor in how much exposure a
person 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
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
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
manual 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
available 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
hazardous, 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 143

reading or writing 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 simple 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
necessary, suspend phone
conversations that have the
potential to forward 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
perfect opportunity to be a "good
Samaritan" 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 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.

use your phone safely when driving.”
