Safety pre-
cautions 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 68" 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. 131).
Turn off mobile phone while
aboard any aircraft. To prevent
accidental activation, see (p. 92).
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
removed. 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 circum-
stances. Any other changes to
this device may invalidate the
FCC authorization required for
operation of the unit, and are
strictly prohibited.

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 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 signifi-
cantly from state-to-state and some-
times even from locality-to-locality
within states. For example, some
areas may allow persons to use their
mobile phones only if they employ a
hands-free device, and some areas
may prohibit the use of mobile
phones entirely. Accordingly, Sie-
mens recommends that persons
check the laws for the areas in which
they drive or will be driving. For
areas where the use of mobile
phones while driving is permitted,
Siemens encourages persons to use
their phones responsibly and to
employ hands-free devices. Also, if
using your phone while driving,
please:
Give full attention to driving – driving safely
is your first responsibility;
Use hands-free operation, if available;
Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call, if driving conditions so
require.
Review the Ten Driving Safety Tips set
forth on p. 139.
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.

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 equip-
ment 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 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 pace-
maker to minimize the potential for interfer-
ence;
should turn the phone OFF immediately if
there is any reason to suspect that interfer-
ence 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 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
posted in these areas instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care facili-
ties 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 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
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 atmo-
spheres
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 chemi-
cal transfer or storage facilities; vehi-
cles 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, 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
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 neces-
sary information as accurately as
possible. Remember that your wire-
less 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 SL56 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
1.13 W/kg***
and when worn on the body+ is
1.11 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
SL56 phone is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display
Grant section of

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,
Switzerland), on the basis of the
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 com-
bined 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 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
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. 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. 112.
Music is sent and received in a MIDI
file, single tones/sounds in an AMR
file. Up to 48 KB can be played back.

Ñ File Man-
ager
To organize your files, you can use
the file system like a PC file manager.
The file system assigns special fold-
ers to different data types.
In order to protect content from
being copied, two types of folders
have been created: 1) Unprotected
folders titled MyData and its sub-
folders and 2) Protected folders.
Data stored in the MyData folders
can be sent out of the phone using
MMS or email.
Data that is received using WAP will
be automatically stored in a pro-
tected folder based on the type of
content, sound, graphic, etc.
§Menu§
A list of the folders and files is
displayed.
Navigate through this list using the
control key:
GScroll up and down.
CGo back from folder.
§Open§ Open folder or execute

§Save§ Press.
You can also store just the DTMF
tones (digits) without a phone num-
ber and send these during a call.
Copy protection
Applications can be copy-protected.
Applications protected in this way
can only be executed on specially
designated devices. It is possible,
however, to create a backup copy of
these applications on the PC at any
time using the "Siemens Data Suite"
(p. 123).
Dial-up access CSD
(Circuit Switched Data)
Data transfer is made via a data con-
nection to a default IP address of
your network provider or service pro-
vider. This connection can be used
for the exchange of data (e.g. for
access to the Internet or for down-
loading games and applications as
well as for using WAP services).
As long as this connection is estab-
lished for using services or down-
loading applications from the Inter-
net, charges for the connection
accrue according to the price list of
your network provider or service
provider.

Dial-up access GPRS
(General Packet Radio Service)
GPRS is a new method for transmit-
ting data faster in the cell phone net-
work. If you use GPRS and the net-
work has sufficient capacity, you can
be connected to the Internet perma-
nently.
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 exceed-
ing the length of a single SMS. In this
case individual text messages are
concatenated to form a single
message.
Extending numbers in the
Phonebook/Addressbook
When entering a phone number in
the Phonebook/Addressbook,
digits can be replaced by a
question mark "?":
*Hold down.
This placeholder must be filled
before dialing (e.g. with the exten-
sion number in a telephone system).

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
operating instructions for each
application.
Siemens does not guarantee in the
case of Java applications, however,
that the downloaded and installed
Java application will also work well
with your cell phone (p. 73).
T Message memory full
The SIM memory is full when the
message icon flashes. No more SMS
messages can be received. Delete or
save messages (p. 51).
Outside your own home network
If you are outside your "home" net-
work, your phone will automatically
connect to a different GSM network
(p. 88).
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.

Performance
A full battery will deliver between
60 to 175 hours of standby time or
100 to 180 minutes of talktime.
The length of performance depends
on the operating conditions:
Extreme temperatures reduce the
standby time of the phone consider-
ably. Avoid exposing the phone to
direct sunlight or placing it on a
radiator.
Phone number/URL in SMS
Phone numbers §highlighted§ in the
text can be dialed or stored in the
Phonebook/Addressbook. URLs
(Internet addresses) can be called up
directly and the HTTP download
started. To do this the HTTP profile
(p. 73), or the WAP profile (p. 70)
must be installed and activated.

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
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 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!
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 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.

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

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 lab-
oratory 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 vari-
ables 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 num-
ber 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 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 possible
biological effects of RF of the type emitted
by mobile phones;
Design mobile phones in a way that mini-
mizes 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 Occupational Safety
and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Federal Communications Commission
Occupational Health and Safety Adminis-
tration
National Telecommunications and Infor-
mation 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 sep-
arate 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 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 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
driver, 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
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 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 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.

tions Internet Association (CTIA)
