Safety precautions

Switch off in hospitals or in the vicinity of medical devices, e.g. pacemakers or hearing aids. Mobile phones can interfere with the function of these devices.
Always use the handsfree kit for calls while driving (p. 73)!
Mobile phones must be switched off at all times in an aircraft.
Switch off near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations. Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of technical installations.
The ring tone is reproduced through the earpiece. To avoid damage to hearing, first accept the call, then hold the phone to the ear.
SIM card may be removed. Caution! Small parts could be swallowed by children.
The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit must not be exceeded.
We recommend you use only original Siemens batteries (100% mercury-free) and charg­ing devices. Otherwise consid­erable health risks and damage to the product cannot be exclud­ed.
Neither the phone nor the bat­tery (100% mercury-free) may be opened under any circum­stances (except when exchang­ing the battery, SIM card or top shell). Any other changes to this device are strictly prohibited, as they will invalidate the type approval criteria required for operation of the unit.
Please note:
Dispose of used batteries and phones according to the legal regulations.
Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of nearby TVs, radios or PCs.
We recommend you use only original Siemens accessories to avoid possible damage and to comply with the existing regula­tions.
Improper use invalidates the warranty!

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.

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.
© Siemens AG 2001, S:\Mobil\M46-usa\am_ohne Balken\MT50_Security.fm
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.

THIS SIEMENS M46 PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S RE­QUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your wireless Siemens M46 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 M46 phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.711 W/ kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.288 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, de­pending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at vari­ous positions, they all meet the gov­ernment requirement for safe expo­sure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this Siemens M46 phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR in­formation on this Siemens M46 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-M46.
M46 AM English, A31008-H7600-A1-1 (28. May 2002, 18:13)
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:
http://www.wow-com.com
