Are you receiving me?
Mercedes customers who order new cars
with a factory-fitted mobile phone will now
receive the new Siemens CX 65 model
together with a hands-free system and a
roof aerial, a combination that ensures
excellent reception quality and low
electromagnetic radiation. Engineers
attached great importance to optimal
connection and communication
quality whilst driving. The Siemens
CX 65 fulfils these requirements as it
allows an external aerial to be
connected. This means that, as well
as delivering excellent send and
receive performance, the triband
mobile also minimises the
occupants' exposure to
electromagnetic radiation
(electrosmog). Mobile phones that
only work using their own built-in
aerials cannot guarantee the same
levels of performance and
protection. |
