In the unlikely event of a crack in the silver-colored outer housing of this product, exposure to Nickel may occur. Nickel is a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive toxicity. The voltage specified on the power supply must not be exceeded. Neither the phone nor the battery (100% mercury-free) should be opened under any circumstances.
Safety Precautions Please observe: Dispose of used batteries and phones according to the legal regulations. Wireless phones can interfere with the operation of nearby TVs, radios, and PCs. We recommend you use only original accessories to avoid possible damage and ensure that the phone complies with all relevant regulations. Improper use invalidates the warranty! Battery warning: Your Pocket PC contains a lithium polymer battery pack.
Safety Information Precautions during use Disassembly Warning Abnormal conditions Continued use of the unit while it is emitting smoke or a strange odor may result in fire and electrical shock. Immediately turn off the power, unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet, remove the batteries and contact your original dealer to request servicing.
Safety Information Location Cards and other small items Do not locate the unit in an area subject to large amounts of humidity or dust. Doing so may result in fire and electrical shock. Keep the unit away from food preparation areas, cooking equipment and anywhere else it might be exposed to oil, smoke or steam. Such conditions may result in fire and electrical shock. Avoid unstable surfaces Never place the unit on an unstable surface, on a high shelf or in any other unstable location.
Safety Information AC adapter Warning Never use a voltage other than that for which the AC adapter is rated. Do not plug the unit into a power outlet that is shared by other devices. This may result in fire and electrical shock. Never modify the power cord or excessively bend, twist, or pull it. This may result in fire and electrical shock. Do not allow the power cord to become damaged. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord or expose it to heat.
Safety Information Display screen precautions Caution Never apply strong pressure to the LCD screen or subject it to strong impact. Doing so can cause the LCD panel glass to crack or break. Should the LCD panel glass ever crack or break, never touch the liquid inside the panel. LCD liquid can cause skin irritation. Should LCD panel liquid ever get into your mouth, gargle with water and seek medical advice immediately.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) THE SIEMENS SX56 WIRELESS PDA PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIATION WAVES. Your wireless Siemens SX56 wireless PDA 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.
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.
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 known — 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.
U.S. FDA 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.
U.S. FDA • Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals under laboratory conditions while they performed cognitive function tests. There were no changes in the subjects' ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they were able to make choices more quickly in one visual test when they were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This was the only change noted among more than 20 variables compared.
U.S. FDA Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to take a number of steps to assure public safety.
