Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use. Explain the content and the hazards associated with using the phone to your children.
Remember to comply with legal requirements and local restrictions when using the phone. For example, in aeroplanes, petrol stations, hospitals or while driving.
Mobile phones can interfere with the functioning of medical devices such as hearing aids or pacemakers. Keep at least 20cm between phone and pacemaker. When using the mobile phone hold it to the ear which is further away from the pacemaker. For more information consult your doctor.
The SIM card may be removed. Caution! Small parts like this could be swallowed by young children.
The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit (V) must not be exceeded. Otherwise the charging device may be destroyed.
The ringtone (p. 39), info tones (p. 39) and handsfree talking are reproduced through the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to your ear when it rings or when you have switched on the handsfree function(p. 15). Otherwise you risk serious permanent damage to your hearing.
Only use original Siemens batteries (100% mercury-free) and -charging devices. Otherwise you risk serious damage to health and property: The battery could explode, for instance.
Do not open the phone. Only the battery (100% mercury-free), front and back covers, keypad or SIM card may be replaced. 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 required for operation of the unit.
Safety precautions |
3 |
Important:
Please dispose of unwanted batteries and phones as permitted by the laws in your country.
The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets, radios and PCs.
Use only Siemens original accessories. This will avoid potential risks to health or property and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!

Note
Your phone is supplied with a protective file applied to the display and the display cover of the front shell. Remove this film before getting started.
In rare cases the static discharge may cause discoloration at the edges of the display. However this will disappear within 10 minutes.
To avoid damage to the display, the phone should not be used without the top shell.

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 mains power socket and charge for at least two hours.
Display when charging is in progress
hDuring charging.
Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged after about 2 hours. Charging is only possible within a temperature range of +5 °C to +40 °C.
If the temperature rises/falls 5 °C above/below this, the charge symbol flashes a warning. The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit must not be exceeded.
Charge icon not visible
If the battery has been discharged fully the charge icon is not immediately visible when the power supply unit is plugged in. It will appear after up to two hours. In this case the battery is fully charged after 3-4 hours.
Only use the power supply unit supplied!
Display while in service
Charge level display during operation (empty-full):
a d g
A beep sounds when the battery is nearly empty. The charge level of the battery is only displayed correctly after an uninterrupted charging/discharging cycle.
You should therefore not remove the battery unnecessarily and where possible not terminate the charging process before completion.
Additional information
The power supply unit heats up when used for long periods. This is normal and not dangerous.
If the battery is removed for longer than 30 seconds, the clock must be reset.
