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 / 1900 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 unauthorized use of your phone:
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
medical equipment.
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.
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 breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to minimize the potential interference.
• Switch off your phone if you suspect that interference is taking place.
Users of 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:
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.
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.
Do not use your phone while driving
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.
EN60950 Norm
In case of hot weather or after a 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.

1.
Getting Started
Please read through the safety instructions in the “ Precautions” section before use (please see page58).
Before you start using your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card supplied by your GSM operator or
retailer. The SIM card contains your subscription information, your mobile telephone number, and a small
quantity of memory in which you can store phone numbers and messages (for more information, see
“ Contacts” on page 46). You also have the option to insert an SD/MMC card. This provides you with
expanded memory capability, which allows you to store additional music, photo, and video files separate
from the phone's built-in memory.
Insert the SIM card
Press down the latch (1) and then lift up the door of the battery compartment (2).
To remove the battery, press down the latch (1) and lift up the battery in the direction shown below.
If your SIM card is delivered in a credit-card size, remove it from its holder and insert it under the metal clip
holder, until it stops. Make sure that the clipped corner of the card is in the correct corner and that the gold
contacts are facing down.
Slide the battery back into the compartment with metallic connectors downwards, until it stops. Then lock it
by pushing it downwards.
Replace the back cover by pushing it down into its slots, until it stops.
Remove the protective film covering the screen and the camera lens before using the phone.
Insert an Mini-SD Card
The first time you insert an Mini-SD card into your phone, it is formatted for compatibility. Folders for your
photo, video, audio, and other files are created automatically. If you have any prior existing data on the card,
it may be lost.
To use the Mini-SD card as the default storage location for your data files, under your phone Settings set
the Default Storage option to Memory Card. (For more information on this, please refer to page 60.)
Finally, to remove the Mini-SD card, gently press the top of it inside its slot. When it pops up, you may
remove it from the phone.
Switching on the phone
To switch on the phone, long press the key. Enter the PIN code if required (i.e. the 4- to 8-digit secret
code of your SIM card). It is preconfigured and communicated to you by your operator or retailer. For more
information on PIN codes, see “ Security” on page 62.
If you enter an incorrect PIN code 3 times, your SIM card will be blocked. To unblock it, you must
request the PUK code from your operator.
Charging 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.
Once the battery and the battery cover are clipped on the phone you can charge the phone. Pull away the
protective rubber cap covering the charger connector (it is attached to the phone so that you cannot lose it).
Plug in the connector as shown below. Then plug it into a main AC power socket.
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge. During charging, the 4-bar charge indicators scroll; the
maximum charge time for empty battery is 3 hours for a standard charger. When all four bars are steady, the
battery is fully charged. You can then disconnect the charger. Depending on the network and condition of
use, talk time goes up to 4 hours and stand-by time up to 300 hours.
Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile when the battery is fully charged will not damage the battery.
The only way to turn off the charger is to unplug it, so use an easily accessible AC power socket.
You may lose all your personal settings if you remove the battery when the phone is switched on.
