Safety precautions

Switch off in hospitals or in the vicinity of medical devices, e.g. hearing aids. Mobile phones can interfere with the function of these devices. A minimum distance of 20 cm between pacemaker and mob ile phone should be kept. When using the mobile phone hold it to the ear which is further removed from the pacemaker.

Always use the handsfree kit for calls while driving (p. 91).

Mobile phones must be switched off at all times in an aircraft. To prevent accidental activation, see (p. 53).

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 and handsfree talking are reproduced via the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to the e ar when it rings or when you have activated the handsfree function. Otherwise you risk serious, lasting damage to hearing.

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 approval criteria required for operation of the unit.

Please note:

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

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

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

Improper use invalidates the warranty!

To remove

Note

Your phone's display and the display cover of the top shell are del ivered with a protective film. Remove this film before getting started. In rare cases the static discharge may cause discolouration at the edges of the display. However this will disappear within 10 minutes.

To avoid damage to the display, the phone should not be used without the upper shell.

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.

Note

Always switch off phone before removing the battery!

Only 3-Volt SIM cards are supported. Please contact your service provider if you have an older card.

Functions without SIM card............... p. 84

Getting Started

Charge battery

The battery is not fully charged when delivered. Plug in the charger cable at the bottom of the phone, plug in the power supply unit to the mains power socket and charge for least two hours.

Charging time

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 unit must not be exceeded.

To use the full performance of the battery, the battery must be fully charged and discharged at least five times.

Display when charging is in progress

Charge icon not visible

If the battery is totally discharged no charge icon is displayed when the charger is plugged in. It is displayed after 2 hours at most. In this case the battery is fully charged after 3-4 hours.

Only use the charger 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 not remove the battery unnecessarily and not end charging prematurely, if possible.

Note

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