Safety precautions

Switch off in hospitals or in the vicinity of medical devices, e.g. hearing aids. You should keep a minimum distance of 20 cm between pacemaker and mobile phone. When using the mobile phone, hold it to the ear which is farthest away from the pacemaker.

Always use the handsfree kit for calls while driving (p. 68).

Mobile phones must be switched off at all times in an aircraft. To prevent accidental activation, see (p. 51).

Switch off near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations. Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of technical installations.

The ring tone is reproduced through the earpiece. To avoid damage to hearing, first accept the call, then hold the phone to the ear.

SIM card may be removed. Caution! Small parts could be swallowed by children.

The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit must not be exceeded.

We recommend you use only original Siemens batteries (100% mercury-free) and charging devices. Otherwise considerable health risks and damage to the product cannot be excluded.

Neither the phone nor the battery (100% mercury-free) may be opened under any circumstances (except when exchanging the battery, SIM card or top shell). Any other changes to this device are strictly prohibited, as they will invalidate the type approval criteria required for operation of the unit.

Please note

Improper use invalidates the warranty!

Dispose of used batteries and phones according to the legal regulations.

Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of nearby TVs, radios, PCs.

We recommend you use only original Siemens accessories to avoid possible damage and to comply with the existing regulations.

To attach

To remove

Your phone's display and the display cover of the upper shell are delivered with a protective film.

Remove this film before getting started

In rare cases the static charge created by removing this film may cause discolouration at the edges of the display. However, this will disappear within 10 minutes.

Getting Started

Insert SIM card/battery

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.

• Press grooved area cover

• Press latch in the direction indicated by the arrow the cutout on the side of the phone move.

• Insert SIM card in the opening (contacts pointing downwards) and push gently until it engages (make sure the angled corner is in the correct position

• Insert battery into the phone sideways

, then press downwards

, until it engages.

• Replace cover and press downwards until it engages.

Only 3-Volt SIM cards are supported. Older SIM cards (5-Volt technology) cannot be used. Please contact your service provider, if you have an older card.

Getting Started

Charge battery

The battery is not fully charged when delivered, so:

• Plug in charger cable at the bottom of the phone, plug in the plugin power supply unit to the mains power socket and charge for at least two hours.

If the battery is totally discharged no charge icon is displayed at the beginning of the charging process.

If this is the case leave the charger cable plugged in, the charge icon will appear after a maximum of 2 hours. The battery is then automatically charged.

• Push the sides of the charger cable plug together and pull to remove it.

Charging

The charger heats up when used for long periods. This is normal and not dangerous.

Á e

An empty battery is fully charged after about 2 hours. Charging is only possible in an ambient temperature of 5 °C to 40 °C (the charge icon flashes as a warning when the temperature is 5 °C above/below this range). The voltage specified on the power supply must not be exceeded.

Operating times

A fully charged battery provides 60-250 hours of standby time or 100- 300 minutes of talk time. The operating times are average values and depend on the operating conditions (see table below).

Quality declaration for battery

The capacity of your mobile phone battery reduces each time you charge/discharge it. Storing the battery at temperatures that are too high or too low also causes a gradual loss of capacity. This can cause the operating times of your mobile phone to reduce significantly per usage cycle.

The battery is, however, designed to be charged and fully discharged within a period of six months from when the mobile phone was purchased. Following this sixmonth period we recommend replacing your battery if you experience a significant drop in performance. Please purchase only Siemens original batteries.
