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 effi­ciently:
• Extend your antenna fully (if applicable).
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
• 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
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.

Safety Information
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:

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.
• 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.
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.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)
THIS SIEMENS S46 PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S RE­QUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless Siemens S46 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
5
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 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 government­adopted 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 S46 phone when tested for use at the ear is
1.12 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.41 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 S46 phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this Siemens S46 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
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.
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)
PWX-S46.
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. For SAR information in other regions please look under product information at: www.icm.siemens.com
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) averaged 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.

Declaration of conformity
Siemens Information and Communication Mobile hereby declares that the phone described in this user guide is in compliance with essential requirements and other relevant provisions of European Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE).
The declaration of conformity (DoC) concerned has been signed. Please call the company hotline if you require a copy of the original. The SAR recommendations of ICNIRP have been met.
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).
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.

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.
