Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain the content and the hazards associated with using the phone to your children.
Remember to comply with legal
requirements and local restrictions when using the phone. For
example in airplanes, filling stations, hospitals or while driving.
Cell phones can interfere with
the functioning of medical
devices such as hearing aids or
pacemakers. Keep at least
20 cm/9 inches between phone
and pacemaker. When using
the cell phone hold it to the ear
which is further away from the
pacemaker. For more information consult your physician.
The SIM card and
MultiMediaCard may be
removed. Caution! Small parts
like this could be swallowed by
young children.
The mains voltage specified on
the power supply unit (Volt)
must not be exceeded. Otherwise the charging device may
be destroyed.
The ring tone (p. 73), info tones
(p. 74) and handsfree talking
are reproduced through the
loudspeaker. Do not hold the
phone to your ear when it rings
or when you have switched on
the handsfree function (p. 25).
Otherwise you risk serious permanent damage to your hearing.
Important:
Improper use will invalidate the warranty!
Only use original Siemens batteries (100 % mercury-free) and
– charging devices. Otherwise
you risk serious damage to
health and property. The battery
could explode, for instance.
You may only open the phone to
replace the battery (100 % mercury-free), SIM card or
MultiMediaCard. You must not
open the battery under any
circumstances. All other
changes to this device are
strictly prohibited and will invalidate the operating license.
Please dispose of unwanted
batteries and phones as permitted by the laws in your country.
The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets,
radios and PCs.
Use Siemens original accessories only. This will avoid potential risks to health or property
and ensure compliance with all
relevant regulations.

Safety Information
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.
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the
phone and may violate FCC
regulations.
Phone operation
Normal position
Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on efficient operation
For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully (if
applicable).
• Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the phone is
in use. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise
needed.
Driving
Laws pertaining to the use of mobile
phones while driving vary
significantly from state-to-state and
sometimes even from locality-tolocality 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.
Safety Information
5
For vehicles equipped with Air Bags
An air bag inflates with great force.
DO NOT place objects, including
either installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed
and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from radiofrequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturer’s
Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six inches
(6”) be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are
consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• should ALWAYS keep the phone
more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON;
• should not carry the phone in a
breast pocket;
• should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference;
• should turn the phone OFF
immediately if there is any reason
to suspect that interference is
taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your service
provider or your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal
medical devices, consult the
manufacturers of your devices to
determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
6
Safety 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 when
requested by the airline.
Check and comply with the policy of
your airline regarding the use of your
phone while the airplane is on the
ground.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted: “Turn off two-way radio.”
Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include: fueling
areas such as gasoline stations;
below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust or metal powders; and
any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.
Emergency calls (SOS)
Your wireless phone can be used to
make emergency calls. You can
make an emergency call from the
main display screen. Enter the local
emergency number such as 911 and
then press the A key.
This phone, like any wireless phone,
operates using radio signals,
wireless and landline networks, and
user-programmed functions.
Because of this, connections in all
conditions cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, you should never rely
Safety Information
solely on any wireless phone for
essential communications (for
example, medical emergencies).
Remember – to make or receive any
calls, the phone must be switched on
and be used in a service area that has
adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls might not be
possible on all wireless phone
networks or when certain network
services or phone features are in use.
Check with local service providers
regarding their network features.
Always make certain that your
phone is properly charged before
attempting any emergency calls. If
you allow your battery to discharge,
you will be unable to receive or make
calls, including emergency calls. You
must then wait a few minutes after
the charging begins to place any
emergency calls.
When making an emergency call,
remember to give all of the
necessary information as accurately
as possible. Remember that your
wireless phone might be the only
means of communication at the
scene of an accident, therefore you
should not terminate the call until
given permission to do so.

SAR
ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
INFORMATION
THIS SIEMENS M56 PHONE MEETS
THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS.
Your cell phone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy established by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government 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 independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies*. The limits 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 measurement known as the Specific Absorption 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 operating positions accepted by the FCC
and by Industry Canada 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 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 station, 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 established 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
and when worn on the body
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 Canadian Wireless Telecommunications
Association (CWTA) website
www.cwta.ca.
SAR information on this Siemens
M56 phone is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display
Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID PWX-M56.

is
While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, all
Siemens products meet the
governmental requirements for safe
RF exposure.
+
For body worn operation, this
mobile phone has been tested
and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with a
Siemens accesory designated for
this product or when used with a
carry accessory that contains no
metal and that positions the
handset at least 1.5 cm/0.59 in
from the body. Use of other
carry accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
* The World Health Organization
(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27,
Switzerland), on the basis of the
actual knowledge, does not see
any necessity for special
precautionary measures when
using cell phones.
