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 while driving.
Mobile phones can interfere
with the functioning of medical
devices such as hearing aids or
pacemakers. Keep at least
20cm between phone and
pacemaker. When using the
mobile phone hold it to the ear
which is further away from the
pacemaker. For more
information consult your doctor.
The SIM card may be removed.
Caution! Small parts like this
could be swallowed by young
children.
The mains voltage specified on
the power supply unit (V) must
not be exceeded. Otherwise the
charging device may be
destroyed.
The ring tone (p. 39), info tones
(p. 39) 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 (p. 17).
Otherwise you risk serious
permanent damage to your
hearing.
Only use original Siemens
batteries (100% mercury-free)
and -charging devices.
Otherwise you risk serious
damage to health and property:
The battery could explode, for
instance.
Do not open the phone. Only the
battery (100% mercury-free),
front and back covers, keypad
or SIM card may be replaced.
You must not open the battery
under any circumstances. Any
other changes to this device are
strictly prohibited, as they will
invalidate the type approval
required for operation of the
unit.
Important:
Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!
Please dispose of unwanted
batteries and phones as
permitted by the laws in your
country.
The phone may cause
interference in the vicinity of TV
sets, radios and PCs.
Use only Siemens original
accessories. This will avoid
potential risks to health or
property and ensure compliance
with all relevant regulations.
