Quality declaration for battery
The capacity of your mobile phone battery reduces each time you charge/discharge it.
Storing the battery at temperatures that are too high or too low also causes a gradual loss of capacity. This can cause the operating times of your mobile phone to reduce significantly per usage cycle.
The battery is, however, designed to be charged and fully discharged within a period of six months from when the mobile phone was purchased. Following this sixmonth period we recommend replacing your battery if you experience a significant drop in performance. Please purchase only
Siemens original batteries.

Personalisation
The A50 offers you numerous options for personalisation, i.e. individual configuration to suit your own specific tastes. For example you can have operator graphics as bitmaps * or screensavers sent via SMS to your mobile phone. SMS can also be used to send sounds as ring tones to your
A50.
The Siemens City Portal offers numerous ring tones, screensavers and operator bitmaps*.
You will find the City Portal in the
Internet under: www.my-siemens.com/city
The portal also includes a list of countries where this service is available.
The following pages in the User
Guide describe the relevant download process:
Ring tones ............................ p. 55
Screensaver.......................... p. 57
Operator bitmaps* ............... p. 57
In addition you can choose another colour for the top or bottom cover or even use a personal photo in JPEG format to make your A50 unique.
To make it easier for you to do this, you can choose one of a number of templates that best suits your requirements. Naturally you can also create the front and back of your mobile telephone entirely as you wish.
If you want to load another dictionary
(T9 language version) to make it easier to write SMS messages in another language, you will find a large choice of dictionaries for downloading via the internet as well as the relevant installation notes at: www.my-siemens.com/t9
* An operator bitmap is a graphic which can be loaded into the display of the mobile telephone in place of the network operator designation and will appear there permanently.
This graphic is however linked to the network of the operator concerned and is not usually displayed during roaming (e.g. when you are logged on abroad to the network of another provider).

SAR (European Union)

THIS PHONE MEETS THE EU
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone A50 is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy recommended by The Council of the European
Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations 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 mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the
European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard operating positions 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 base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person.
The highest SAR value for this model phone A50 when tested for compliance against the standard was
0.98 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. For SAR information in other regions please look under product information at www.my-siemens.com
