CAUSED.
Export Information
The mobile phone may be subject to
export regulation of the United
States and other countries. Diversion
contrary to law is prohibited. You
must comply with all applicable
export laws, restrictions and regulations of the United States foreign
3Legal notices
agencies or authorities, and may not
export, or transfer for the purpose of
re-export, the mobile phone or any
part of the phone in violation of any
applicable restrictions, laws or regulations, or without all necessary
approvals.
Network Services
A number of features included in this
guide are called Network Services.
They are special services provided by
wireless service providers. In order
to use any of these Network Services, you must subscribe to these
service(s) from your service provider
and obtain instructions for their use.
Some of these Network Services may
not be available when roaming on a
network other than your home network.
Standby and
Talk Time Information
The mobile phone incorporates features that are new to the mobile
phone world. These may include
color displays and lighting, graphic
games, music reproduction and
browsing the Internet. The way you
use the display and the features will
affect the performance of the battery and how long it lasts between
charge cycles. The quoted standby
times and talk times show the minimum and maximum performance
that can be expected from the battery under normal network conditions and with the default settings as
set by the factory. However, playing
games (particularly with the backlight continuously switched on) and
listening to music will shorten the
time available for standby and to
make and receive telephone calls.
Operation times also vary depending
on network conditions, SIM settings,
charging and battery condition, how
you use your phone and other factors.
Memory
The mobile phone contains an internal memory device that stores the
software required to operate the
mobile phone, communicate with
the GSM/GPRS network and provide
the user interface. Some features in
the internal memory run additional
devices and some additional games
and utilities. The amount of memory
available in the mobile phone is
finite and may be insufficient to
store large numbers of applications
and files.
Warning!
Remember to back up your data and to do
so frequently. Always back up all data and
programs before sending the mobile phone
in for repair.
Safety precautions4
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 20 cm/9 inches 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.
Small parts such as the SIM card,
sealing stop, 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.
The mains voltage specified on the
power supply unit (Volt) must not be
exceeded. Otherwise the charging
device may be destroyed.
The ringtone (S. 25), info tones 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 (S. 12). Otherwise you risk serious permanent
damage to your hearing.
Important:
Improper use will invalidate the guarantee! These
safety instructions also apply to Siemens original
accessories.
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.
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 operating licence.
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.

Getting started
Using the SIM card/battery
Your phone's display is delivered with a
protective film. Remove this film before get-
ting started. To avoid damage to the display, the phone should not be used without the front cover. The service provider
supplies you with a SIM card on which all
the important data for your account is
stored. If the SIM card is credit card-sized,
snap out the smaller segment and trim
any rough edges.

Charging the battery
The battery is not supplied fully charged.
Plug the charger cable into the bottom of
the phone, plug the power supply unit
into a mains power socket and charge for
at least two hours. The power supply unit
will become hot after extended use. This
is normal and is not dangerous.

Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged after
about 2 hours. Charging is only possible
within a temperature range of +5 °C to
+40 °C. If the temperature rises/falls 5 °C
above/below this, the charge symbol flashes a warning. The voltage specified on the
power supply unit must not be exceeded.
Charge icon not visible
If the battery was fully discharged, the
charging symbol will not be immediately
visible on connection to the power supply
unit. It will appear after up to two hours.
In this case the battery is fully charged after 3 - 4 hours.
Only use the power supply unit provided!
Display while in service
Charge level display during operation
(empty-full):

A beep sounds when the battery is nearly
empty. The charge level of the battery is
displayed correctly only after uninterrupted charging/discharging. You should
therefore not remove the battery unnecessar-
ily and where possible not interrupt charging prematurely.

The PIN is usually requested each time
the phone is switched on. You can deactivate this feature but you risk unauthorised use of the phone. Some service providers do not permit deactivating the

11Making a phone call
Change phonecode
You define the phone code (4 to 8 digits)
when calling up a phone-code protected
function for the first time. It is then valid
for all phone-code protected functions.
Following the third unsuccessful attempt,
access to the phone code and the functions that use it is denied. In such an instance contact Siemens Service (p. 30).
Clear SIM card barring
If the PIN is entered incorrectly three
times, the SIM card is barred. Enter the
PUK (MASTER PIN), provided by your service provider with the SIM card, according
to instructions. If the PUK (MASTER PIN)
has been lost, please contact your service
provider.
Preventing accidental activation
Even if PIN entry is deactivated (p. 10)
confirmation is required to switch on
phone.
This prevents accidental activation of the
phone, e.g. when you are carrying it in
a bag or when you are travelling in an
aircraft.

will receive either the complete message
automatically or notification that an MMS
has been saved in the network, giving
sender and size details. You may then
download it to your phone to read it.
Ask your service provider whether this
