Read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain to your children the contents and the hazards associated with using the phone.
When in a hospital, switch off
your phone. Mobile phones can
interfere with the functioning of
medical devices such as
hearing aids or pacemakers.
Keep at least 20cm/9 inches between phone and pacemaker.
When using the mobile phone,
hold it to the ear that is farther
away from the pacemaker. For
more information, consult your
doctor.
Always use the handsfree kit
(p. 104) with an external antenna for calls while driving! !
Mobile phones must be
switched off at all times in an aircraft. To prevent accidental activation, see (p. 72).
Switch off near service stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants or
blasting operations. Mobile
phones can interfere with the
operation of technical installations.
The ringtone (p. 89), info tones
(p. 89) and handsfree talking
are reproduced through the
loudspeaker. Do not hold the
phone to the ear when it rings or
when you have switched on the
handsfree function (p. 20).
Otherwise, there is a risk of serious lasting damage to hearing.
The SIM card may be removed.
Caution! Small parts could be
swallowed by children.
The voltage (V) specified on the
power supply unit must not be
exceeded.
Do not view the activated infrared interface [Class 1
LED product (classification
under IEC 60825-1)] with
an optical magnifier.
Only use original Siemens batteries (100% mercury-free) and
charging devices. Otherwise,
considerable health risks and
damage to the product cannot
be excluded: the battery could
explode, for instance.
You may only open the phone
to replace the battery (100%
mercury-free) or SIM card. You
must not open the battery under
any circumstances. 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:
Safely dispose of used batteries
and phones according to the legal regulations.
Mobile phones can interfere
with the operation of nearby
TVs, radios or PCs.
Only use original Siemens accessories to avoid possible
damage to health and property
and to comply with the existing
regulations.
Improper use invalidates the warranty!

THIS SIEMENS S55 PHONE MEETS
THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
Your wireless Siemens S55 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-
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 S55 phone when
tested for use at the ear is 0.52 W/kg,
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.36 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 S55
phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this Siemens S55
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-S55.
6
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) 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.
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:

Getting started
Charge battery
The battery is not fully charged
when delivered. Plug charger cable
into the bottom of the phone, plug
power supply unit into a power socket and charge for at least two hours.
Charge icon not visible
If the battery is totally discharged, no
charge icon is displayed when the
charger is plugged in. It will appear
after two hours at most. In this case
the battery is fully charged after
3-4 hours.
Only use the charger provided!
Display while in service

hDuring charging.
Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged
after about 2 hours. Charging is only
possible in an ambient temperature
of 41 °F to 104 °F (the charge icon
flashes as a warning when the temperature is 41 °F above/below this
range). The voltage specified on the
power supply unit must not be exceeded.
To obtain maximum performance
from the battery, it must be fully
charged and then emptied at least
five times.
Note
Your phone's display is delivered with a protective film.
Remove this film before getting started.
In rare cases, the static discharge may cause discoloration at the edges of the display. How-
ever this will disappear within 10 minutes.
A beep sounds when the battery is
nearly empty. The battery level is
only shown correctly during an unbroken charging/discharging cycle.
You should therefore not remove the battery unnecessarily and where possible not finish the loading process early.
Note
The charger heats up when used for long
periods. This is normal and not dangerous.
The SIM card can be protected with a
4-8 digit PIN.
