Safety Information

Important: Read this information before
using your mobile 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-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.
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.
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.
Safety Information

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
Your wireless phone can be used to make
emergency calls. Check to ensure you have a
strong enough signal and that the battery has
enough available charge.
You can enter the local emergency number
such as 911 and then press the (talk) key.

1. Getting Started
1.1 Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing a Siemens SX56 Wireless PDA Phone. The integrated wireless voice and data capabilities mean
that as well as keeping your important PIM information up-to-date and close at hand, you can make calls, send and receive email,
and look up valuable information from the Internet or your company’s network anytime, anywhere. Also, with Microsoft
ActiveSync, the power of your device is increased by allowing you to synchronize the information on your PC with your device.
Picture yourself in the following situations:
x While walking with a colleague, your SX56 rings. You look at the caller ID and see it’s your manager who is calling. She
asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper organizer,
you press a button on your device and instantly see a list of today’s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell
your manager your available times, and make a note of the new meeting while on the call. You hang up; send e-mail with a
schedule request for the three of you at the desired location.
x You are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest movie information from the Internet to
your PC and then synchronize it with your device. At dinner, you pull out your SX56 and review your movie options with
your friends.
x A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your Siemens SX56 Wireless PDA Phone and catch
the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your device up-to-date, you leisurely review your task list,
make notes about the new books and CDs you want to buy, and read and respond to e-mail messages. When you get back to
the office, ActiveSync transfers any task changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message responses to your PC.
