Safety precautions
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 whilst driving.
Mobile phones can interfere with the
functioning of medical devices such
as hearing aids or pacemakers.
Keep a distance of at least 20cm/
9 inches between the phone and
pacemaker. Whilst using the mobile
phone, hold it to the ear furthest
away from the pacemaker. For more
information consult your doctor.
Tones, music 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. Otherwise you risk serious
permanent damage to your hearing.
Only use original batteries (100 %
mercury-free) and – charging devices. Otherwise you risk serious damage to health and property. For
instance, the battery may explode.
Small parts such as the SIM card,
dust cap, lens ring and lens cap can
be dismantled and swallowed by
small children. The phone must
therefore be stored out of the reach
of 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 at 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, which may sound
normal but can be damaging to your
hearing. Set your volume to a safe
level. If you experience ringing in
your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use of your system.
The mains voltage specified on the
power supply unit (V) must not be
exceeded. Otherwise the charging
device may be destroyed.
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 (100 % mercuryfree) or SIM card. You must not open
the battery under any circumstances. All other changes to this device
are strictly prohibited and will invalidate the guarantee.
Safety precautions
3
All electrical and electronic products
should be disposed of separately
from the municipal waste stream via
designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities.
This crossed-out wheelie bin symbol
on the product means the product is
covered by the European Directive
2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate
collection of your old appliance will
help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and
human health. It is a precondition for
re-use and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For more detailed information about
disposal of your old appliance,
please contact your local council,
waste disposal service or the shop
where you purchased the product.
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 ensure compliance
with all relevant regulations.
Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!
These safety instructions also apply to original
accessories.
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 of 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,
• Both devices must be able to identify them-
• An automatic connection acceptance ("connec-

Getting started
Getting started
Your phone's display is
covered with a protective
film. Remove this before
using the phone.
In rare cases static discharge can cause temporary discolouration in the
display. However, this will
disappear within approx.
10 minutes.
Inserting battery/SIM card/ MicroSD card
The service provider supplies you with a
SIM card on which all the important data
for your line is stored. If the SIM card has
been delivered in credit-card size, snap
the smaller segment out and remove any
rough edges. Please follow the instructions in the diagrams when inserting SIM
card, MicroSD card (optional) and battery.

Charging the battery
The battery is not
fully charged when
delivered. Plug the
charger cable into
the side of the
power supply unit into a mains power
socket and charge for at least two hours
(for charging via USB, see p. 18). Do not
interrupt the charging procedure
prematurely.
Display when charging is in
à
progress.
Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged after
about 2 hours. Charging is only possible
within a temperature range of +5 °C to
+45 °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.
Operating time
The operating time depends upon the respective conditions of use. Extreme temperatures considerably reduce the
phone’s standby time. You should therefore avoid leaving the phone in the sun
or on a radiator.
Talktime: up to 250 minutes
Standby time: up to 280 hours
Charge icon not visible
If the battery has been discharged fully,
the charge icon is not immediately visible
when the power supply is plugged in.
It will appear after up to two hours. In
this case the battery is fully charged after
3 to 4 hours.
Only use the plug-in power supply unit

(empty–full):
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 un-

The power supply unit heats up when used for
long periods. This is normal and not dangerous.
