Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain the content to your children and the hazards associated with using the phone.
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/9 inches between phone
and pacemaker. When using
the mobile phone hold it to the
ear which is furthest away from
the pacemaker. For more
information consult your
doctor.
Always keep the phone and
accessories out of reach of
small children.
Small parts such as the SIM
card, dust cap, lens ring and
lens cap as well as the Micro SD
Card can be dismantle d and
swallowed by small children.
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy
disks. Information stored on
them could be lost.
Do not look directly into the
LED (e.g. activated infrared
port, flash LED) with optical
magnifiers because of
radiation.
This product complies with
IEC/EN 60825-1 “Safety of
Laser Products” for LED Class
1M products; such products
are safe under reasonably
foreseeable operating
conditions.
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use ear- or
headphones at high
volume.You can adapt over
time to a higher volume, whi ch
may sound normal but can be
damaging to your hearing. Set
your volume to a safe level. If
you experience discomfort or
buzzing in your ears, reduce
the volume or discontinue use
of your ear- or headphones.

7Safety precautions
Ringtones, info tones and
handsfree talking are
reproduced through the
loudspeaker. Do not hold the
phone to the ear when it rings
or when you have switched on
the handsfree function.
Otherwise you risk serious
permanent damage to your
hearing.
The mains volta ge (V)
specified on the power supply
unit must not be exceeded.
Otherwise the charging device
may be damaged.
The power supply must be
plugged into an easily
accessible AC mains power
socket when charging the
battery. The only way to turn
off the charging device after
charging the battery is to
unplug it.
You may only open the phone
to replace the battery, SIM and
Micro SD Card. You must not
open the battery under any
circumstances. All other
changes to this device are
strictly prohibited and will
invalidate the guarantee.
The phone may cause
interference in the vicinity of
TV sets, radios and PCs.
Use only original accessories.
This will avoid potential risks
to health or property and
ensu re compliance wi th all
relevant regulations.
• Only use original batteries
and charging devices.
Otherwise you risk serious
damage to health and
property. The battery could
explode, for instance.
• All batteries can cause
property damage, injury or
burns if a conductive
material such as jewel ry, keys
or be aded cha ins touc h
exposed terminals. The
material may complete an
electrical circuit and become
quite hot. Exercise care in
handling any charged
battery, particularly when
placing it in side your pocket,
purse or other container with
metal objects. Your batteries
are supplied with a prot ective
cover. Please attach this
cover to your batteries when
detached from the phone and
not in use.
• Do not dispose of batteries in
fire as they may explode.
Dispose of unwanted batteries
and phones as permitted by the
laws in your countries.
Improper use will invalidate the
guarantee! These safety instructions also
apply to original accessories.

Safety precautions8
As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in positions
other than the head, such as on the body.
In this case, separation distance of 1.5 cm
is required.
Bluetooth
Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This
makes it possible to establish a wireless
®
connection with your phone and a headset,
a car kit or other Bluetooth-enabled
devices.
In order to establish a secure link between
the devices and to prevent a third party
from having access to your phone, you
should observe the following points:
• The initial connection between two
devices, what is called "pairing", should
take place in familiar surroundings.
• Both devices must be able to identify
themselves one time by using a
password/PIN. To ensure sufficient
security, you should choose a 16-digit
number combination for a password that
would be difficult to guess (if a PIN has
not been assigned).
• An automatic connection acceptance
("connection without confirmation")
should only be used in exceptional cases.
• In general, only trustworthy devices
shou ld be lin ked in or der to minimise
security risks.
• You should restrict the "visibility" of your
phone if possible. This will make it much
more difficult for unknown devices to
establish a connection with your phone.
To do this, in the Bluetooth menu, set the
option Bluetooth visibility from On to Off
(page 79).
• The name of your phone is transmitted in
a Bluetooth connection. The factory
default is the "Bluetooth ID". The first
time Bluetooth is activated, or later in the
Bluetooth menu, you can change this
name (Bluetooth name, page 79).
• If Bluetooth is not needed, this function
should be deactivated.
• Before using Bluetooth accessories, or a
mobile phone inside a vehicle, check the
vehicle user guide for any limitations on
the use of these products.

Connectivity
Your phone supports different methods
for transmitting data in the mobile
network:
• The fastest method is UMTS
(Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System). If you
use UMTS, you can make video calls
in high quality. You can be connected
to the Internet permanently. Some
service providers do not yet support
this service.
• GPRS (General Packet Radi o Service)
is another method for transmitting
data in the mobile network. With
GPRS you can be connected to the
Internet permanently, as well, if the
network has sufficient capacity.
• GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communications) is a fully digital
standard for mobile networks mainly
used for voice calls and text messages
(SMS).
Depending on the surrounding network
and your provider, the different
methods are used automatically.
Depending on your provider you may
