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. 42), 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 (p. 15). Otherwise you risk serious permanent damage to your hearing.

Safety precautions

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.

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.

Safety precautions

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. Childs up to 14 years shall 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

h 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):

adg

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.
