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.
The ringtone (p. 40), info tones
(p. 40) 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. 13). Otherwise
you risk serious permanent damage to your hearing.
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 (Volt)
must not be exceeded. Otherwise the charging device may be
destroyed.
Safety precautions
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 % mercury-free) or SIM card. You must
not open the battery under any
circum-stances. All other changes to this device are strictly prohibited and will invalidate the
operating licence.
Please note
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.
If you wear the phone around your neck,
please use only the Siemens original FCT500 Loop Case. In order to avoid any injuries or death from strangulation no other
accessories are allowed for this purpose.
Children below 14 years should not wear
the phone around the neck
Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!

Getting started
Insert SIM card/battery
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 in creditcard size, snap out the smaller segment and remove any rough edges.
• Remove the battery cover by
pressing top centre of the cover
and slide downwards.
• Insert the SIM card into the slot
with the contact area facing down-
wards and push gently until it engages below the holder (make
sure the angled corner is in the
correct position).
• Place the battery into the block of
the phone, with the contact area
facing down. Push the battery
carefully downwards.
• Slide the battery cover upwards
from the bottom of the phone, until it latches into place.
Note
Always switch off phone before removing
the battery!
Only 3 V SIM cards are supported. Please
contact your service provider, if you have
an older card.
Getting started

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 the mains
power socket and charge for at least
3,5 hours.
Display when charging is in progress
During charging.
Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged after about 3,5 hours. Charging is only
possible within the temperature
range of +0 °C to +45 °C. If the temperature rises/falls above/below this,
the charge symbol flashes a warning. The voltage specified on the
power supply unit must not be exceeded.
To obtain maximum performance of
the battery it must be fully charged
and then emptied at least five times.
Charge icon not visible
If the battery was completely discharged, the charging symbol will
not be immediately visible when
connected to the charger. In this
case the battery is fully charged after
4,5–5,5 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 therefore not remove
the battery unnecessarily and where
possible not interrupt charging prema-
turely.
Note
The charger will become hot after extended
use. This is normal and not dangerous.
Performance
A full battery will give you between
60–250 hours of standby time or
1,5–4,5 hours of talktime.
