Remember to switch off your mobile phone before
removing the back cover and battery.
Remove the back cover

back cover. Press on the back cover with your thumb
and slide the cover downwards. Then use your free
hand to lift up the door of the battery compartment as
shown below.
4 Getting Started
Remove the battery
To remove the battery, lift up the battery from the
bottom as show below.

Make sure the clipped corner of the SIM card is facing
the correct direction and the metallic contacts facing
downwards. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card slot
until it stops.
Replace the back cover
Replace the back cover by sliding it up into its slot,
until it stops.
Replace the battery
Slide the battery back to its slot, with the gold contacts
facing downwards until it stops. Then lock it by
pushing it downwards.

more information on PIN code, see “Security”.
If you enter an incorrect PIN code three times in
succession, your SIM card will be locked. To unlock it,
you must obtain the PUK code from your network
operator.
Getting Started 5
Charge the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A
new battery is partially charged and an alarm will warn
you when the battery level is low. If the battery is
empty, it needs to be charged for 2 or 3 minutes
before the battery symbol indicators flash. Plug the
charger into the charger connector at the top left side
of the phone as shown below. Then plug the other
end of the charger into an AC power socket.
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge. The
charge indicators will scroll when the battery is
charging. The battery is fully charged when the charge
indicators stop scrolling. You can then disconnect the
charger.
Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile phone
when the battery is fully charged will not damage the
battery. The only way to disconnect the charger is to
unplug it, so use an easily accessible AC power socket.
If you are not using your phone for a period of time,
we recommend that you remove the battery.
You can use your phone while it is charging. When the
battery is completely discharged, the charge indicators
will appear only after a few minutes of charging.

Precautions
Radio Waves
Your cellular mobile phone is a low power
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is
operating, it sends and receives radio waves.
The radio waves carry your voice or data
signal to a base station that is connected to the
telephone network. The network controls the power
at which the phone transmits.
• Your phone transmits/receives radio waves in the
GSM frequency (900 / 1800 MHz).
• The GSM network controls transmission power
(0.01 to 2 watts).
• Your phone complies with all relevant safety
standards.
• The CE mark on your phone shows compliancy
with European electromagnetic compatibility (Ref.
89/336/EEC) and low voltage directives (Ref. 73/
23/EEC).
Your cellular mobile phone is your responsibility. To
avoid damage to yourself, to others or to the phone
itself, read and follow all the safety instructions and
make them known to anyone borrowing your phone.
Furthermore to prevent unauthorised use of your
phone:
26
Keep your phone in a safe place and keep it
out of small children's reach.
Avoid writing down your PIN code. Try to
remember it instead.
Switch off the phone and remove the battery if you are
going to leave it unused for a long time.
Change your PIN code after purchasing the phone
and to activate call restriction options.
The design of your phone complies with all
applicable laws and regulations. However
your phone may cause interference with
other electronic devices. Consequently you
should follow all local recommendations and
regulations when using your cellular phone both at
home and when away. Regulations on the use of
cellular phones in vehicles and aircraft are
particularly stringent.
Public concern has been focused for some time on the
possible health risks for users of cellular phones. The
current research on radio wave technology, including
the GSM technology, has been reviewed and safety
standards have been drawn up to ensure protection
from exposure to radio wave energy. Your cellular
telephone complies with all applicable safety
standards and the Radio Equipment and
Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive
1999/5/EC.
Always switch off your phone...
Inadequately protected or sensitive electronic
equipment may be affected by radio energy. This
interference can lead to accidents.
Before boarding an aircraft and/or when
packing the phone in your luggage: the use
of mobile phones in an aircraft may be
dangerous for the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the
mobile phones network and may be illegal.
In hospitals, clinics, other health care
centres and anywhere else where you may be
in the close vicinity of medic
In areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere (e.g. petrol stations and also
areas where the air contains dust particles,
such as metal powders).
In a vehicle transporting flammable products (even if
the vehicle is parked) or a vehicle powered by liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG), check first that the vehicle
complies with the applicable safety rules.
In areas where you are requested to turn off radio
transmitting devices, such as quarries or other areas
where blasting operations are in progress.
al equ
ipment.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer that
electronic equipment used in your vehicle
will not be affected by radio energy.
Pacemakers
If you have a pacemaker:
• Always keep the phone more than 15 cm from your
pacemaker when the phone is switched on, in order
to avoid potential interference.
• Do not carry the phone in a breastpocket.
• Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to minimise
the potential interference.
• Switch off your phone if you suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing aids
If you are a user of a hearing aid, consult your
physician and hearing aid manufacturer to learn
whether your particular device is susceptible to
cellular phone interference.
Improved performance
In order to improve the performance of your phone,
reduce radio energy emission, reduce battery
consumption and ensure safe operation adhere to the
following guidelines:
27
For the optimal and satisfactory operation of
the phone you are recommended to use the
phone in the normal operating position
(when not using in hands-free mode or with
a hands-free accessory).
• Do not expose your phone to extreme temperatures.
• Treat the phone with care. Any misuse will void the
International Guarantee.
• Do not immerse the phone in any liquid; if your
phone is damp, switch it off, remove the battery
and let them dry for 24hrs before using them again.
• To clean the phone, wipe it with a soft cloth.
• Placing and receiving calls consumes the same
amount of battery energy. However, the mobile
consumes less energy in idle screen when kept in
the same place. When in idle screen and while you
are moving, your phone consumes energy to
transmit updated location information to the
network. Setting the backlight for a shorter period
of time as well as avoiding unnecessary navigating
in the menus will also help to save the battery’s
energy for longer phoning and stand-by
performances.
28
Battery information
• Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
• Use specified charger only.
• Do not incinerate.
• Do not deform or open the battery.
• Do not allow metal objects (such as keys in your
pocket) to short circuit the battery contacts.
• Avoid exposure to excessive heat (>60° C or
140° F), moisture or caustic environments.
You should only use Philips Authentic
Accessories, as the use of any other
accessories may damage your phone and will
make all guarantees for your Philips phone
null and void.
Make sure damaged parts are replaced immediately by
a qualified technician and that they are replaced with
genuine Philips replacement parts.
Your mobile phone and your car
Studies have shown that speaking on the
telephone while driving lowers your
concentration, which can be dangerous.
Adhere to the following guidelines:
• Give your full attention to driving. Pull off the road
and park before using the phone.
• Respect the local regulations in countries where you
drive and use your GSM phone.
• If you want to use your phone in a vehicle, install
the hands-free car kit which is designed for that
purpose.
• Ensure that your phone and car kit do not block
any air bags or other security devices fitted in your
car.
The use of an alarm system to operate a vehicle's light
or horn to indicate incoming phone calls is prohibited
on public roads in some countries. Check local
regulations.
EN 60950 Norm
In hot weather or after prolonged exposure to the sun
(e.g., behind a window or a windscreen), the
temperature of your phone's casing might increase,
especially when featuring a metallic finish. Be very
careful in this case when picking up your phone and
also avoid using it with an ambient temperature over
40° C or below 5° C.
For your phone, the socket-outlet shall be installed
near the phone and shall be accessible.

This feature is network and subscription dependent.
If the network doesn’t send the caller’s number, the
phone will display Call 1 or Withheld instead. Contact
your operator for detailed information on this subject.
You can’t send text messages
Some networks don’t allow message exchanges with
other networks. First check that you entered the
number of your SMS centre, or contact your operator
for detailed information on this subject.
You have the feeling that you miss some
calls
Check your call divert options.
The display shows INSERT SIM
Check that the SIM card has been inserted in the right
position. If the problem remains, your SIM card may
be damaged. Contact your operator.
31
When attempting to use a feature in the
menu, the mobile displays NOT
ALLOWED
Some features are network dependent. They are only
available, therefore, if the network or your
subscription supports them. Contact your operator
for detailed information on this subject.
Your phone is not charging
If your battery is completely flat, it might take several
minutes of pre-charge (up to 5 minutes in some cases)
before the charging icon is displayed on the screen.
32
Philips Authentic
Accessories
Some accessories, such as a battery and a charger, are
included as standard in the package of your mobile
phone. Additional accessories may also be provided or
sold separately. Package contents may therefore vary.
To maximise the performance of your Philips mobile
phone and not to void the warranty, always purchase
Philips Authentic Accessories that are specially
designed for use with your phone. Philips Consumer
Electronics cannot be held liable for any damage due
to use with non authorised accessories.
Charger
Charges your battery in any AC outlet. Small enough
to carry in a briefcase/handbag.

SAR Information - International
(ICNIRP)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE INTERNATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE TO
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy defined by the international standards. These recommendations have been
established by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and, the Institue of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers - Standard Associations (IEEE-SA) that forcast a substantial safety margin for assuring
the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure recommendations for mobile phones use a measurement unit known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR limit recommended by the ICNIRP for the mobile phones used by the general public is 2.0 W/kg in 10g of tissue
and, is 1,6W/kg in 1g of tissue by IEEE-SA (IEEE Std 1528) for the head.
Tests for SAR have been conducted using recommended operating positions with the mobile phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at its highest certified power
level, the actual SAR levels of the mobile phone while operating are generally below the maximum SAR 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.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
international protection standards for exposure to radio waves.
The highest SAR value for this Philips 191 when tested for compliance against the standard was 1,37 W/kg for ICNIRP
recommendation.
For limiting the radio waves exposure, it is recommened to reduce the mobile phone call duration or to use a headset. The
purpose of those precautions is to take the mobile phone away from the head and the body.
