Safety precautions

NOTE:

Review these operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.

Do not use mobile phone in hospitals or in the vicin ity of medical devices, such as pace makers or hearing aids. Mobile phones may interfere with the operation of these devices. Keep a minimum 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. 83).

Turn off mobile phone while aboard any aircraft. To prevent accidental activation, see (p. 48).

Do not use mobile phone near gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations. Mobile phone s may cause interference with the operation of technical installations.

The ring tone and the info tones are amplified through the earpiece. Never hold the mobile phone to your ear when it is ringing. 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 voltage (V) specified on the power supply unit.

Only use original Siemens batteries (100% mercury-free) and charging devices. Use of nonSiemens batteries and/or charging devices may cause explosion 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 circumstances. Any other changes to this device may invalidate the FCC authorization required for operation of the unit, and are strictly prohibited.

Dispose of used batteries and phones in accordance with applicable laws and safety regulations.

Mobile phones may interfere with the operation of nearby TVs, radios or PCs.

Only use original Siemens accessories in order to avoid possible injury and property damage and to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Improper use invalidates the warranty!

Safety Information

4

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

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 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 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.

A56 AE, A31008-H5320-A100-1-4A19 (31. October 2002, 18:19)

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.

Safety Information

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 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 before boarding an airplane.

Check and comply with the policy of your airline reg arding 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

Safety Information

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

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks, and userprogrammed functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential communications (for example, medical emergencies). Remember - to make or receive any calls, the phone must be switched on and be used in a service area that has adequate signal strength. Emergency calls might not

Safety Information

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, y ou wi ll be un ab le to r ec ei ve or ma ke 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 (Specific Absorption Rate)

THIS SIEMENS A56 PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES

Your wireless Siemens A56 phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation 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 wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at mul-

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)

.

tiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this Siemens A56 phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.76 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is

0.46 W/kg. (Body-worn measure-

ments differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this Siemens A56 phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this Siemens A56 phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID PWX-A56.

A56 AE, A31008-H5320-A100-1-4A19 (31. October 2002, 18:19)

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)

For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only Siemens approved accessories. When carrying the phone while it is on, use the specific Siemens belt clip that has been tested for compliance.

Use of non-Siemens-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is

1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) av eraged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at:

Quality declaration for battery

The capacity of your mobile phone battery is reduced each time you charge/discharge it. Storing the battery at temperatures that are too high or too low also causes a gradual loss of capacity. This can cause the operating times of your mobile phone to reduce significantly per usage cycle.

The battery is, however, designed to be charged and fully discharged within a period of six months from when the mobile phone was purchased. Following this six-month period, we recommend replacing your battery if you experience a significant drop in performance. Only purchase original Siemens batteries.

Specifications

Exposure to radiofrequency signals

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radiofrequency (RF) signals.

In August 1996, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C95.1 (1992)

• National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) Report 86 (1986)

• International Commission of NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996

• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI standard (C95.1).

81

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards). For additional information concerning exposure to radio frequency signal, see the statement by the FDA at the end of this user guide.

U.S. FDA

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones

FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The following summarizes what is know — and what remains unknown — about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This 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.

A56 AE, A31008-H5320-A100-1-4A19 (31. October 2002, 18:19)

How much evidence is there that handheld 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 cancercausing 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 safe-

U.S. FDA

ty 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 pho ne 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 mobi le 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.

A56 AE, A31008-H5320-A100-1-4A19 (31. October 2002, 18:19)

86

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.

FDA is currently working with government, industry, and academic groups to ensure the proper followup to these industry-funded research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in particular is expected to lead to FDA providing research recommendations and scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on such

2

U.S. FDA

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.

• 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.

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 par-

ties, 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

U.S. FDA

brain cancer. This is called a casecontrol 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 nu mber 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;

• Design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function; and

87

A56 AE, A31008-H5320-A100-1-4A19 (31. October 2002, 18:19)

88

• 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

U.S. FDA

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.

91

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 reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.

A56 AE, A31008-H5320-A100-1-4A19 (31. October 2002, 18:19)

92

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 divert your attention from the road.

Use your phone to call for help.

Your wireless phone is one of the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations — with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergency. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone.

Ten Driving Safety Tips

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 91-1, 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.

“The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.”
