Safety precautions2

Safety precautions

Information for parents

Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use. Explain the content to your children and the hazards associated with using the phone.

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 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 ringtones (page 48), info tones (page 49) 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 (page 16). 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.

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.

Do not look at the LED (e.g. activated infrared port, flash LED) with optical magnifiers because of radiation.

This product complies with IEC/EN 60825-1 “Safety of Laser Products” for LED Class 1M products; such products are safe under reasonably foreseeable operating conditions.

The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit (V) must not be exceeded. Otherwise the charging device may be destroyed. The power supply must be plugged into an easily accessible AC mains power socket when charging the battery. The only way to turn off the charging device after charging the battery is to unplug it.

The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets, radios and PCs.

3Safety precautions

You may only open the phone to replace the battery (100 % mercury-free) 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 guarantee.

Use only Siemens original accessories. This will avoid potential risks to health or property and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.

Do not place the phone near to electromagnetic data carriers such as credit cards and floppy disks. Information stored on them could be lost.

All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities.

This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.

The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.

For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Improper use will invalidate the guarantee! These safety instructions also apply to Siemens original accessories.

As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in positions other than the head, such as on the body. In this case, at data transfer (GPRS) a separation distance of 1.0 cm is required.

Please switch off your phone before removing the battery!

Only 3V SIM cards are supported. Please contact your service provide if you have an older card.

Charge battery

Charging

The battery is not fully charged when delivered. 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.

Display during charging.

Charging time

An empty battery is fully charged after about 2.5 hours. Charging is only possible within a temperature range of +5 °C to +45 °C. If the temperature rises/falls 5 °C above/below this, the charge symbol flashes a warning. The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit must not be exceeded.

Operating time

The operating time depends upon the respective conditions of use. Extreme temperatures considerably reduce the phone’s standby time. You should therefore avoid leaving the phone in the sun or on a radiator.

Talktime: 100 to 300 minutes Standby time: 60 to 300 hours

9Switching on/off, PIN entry

Charge icon not visible

If the battery has been discharged fully, the charge icon is not immediately visible when the power supply is plugged in. It will appear after up to two hours. In this case the battery is fully charged after 3 to 4 hours.

Only use the plug-in power supply unit included in delivery!

Display during operation

Charge level display during operation (empty-full):

V W X

A beep sounds when the battery is nearly empty. The charge level of the battery is only displayed correctly after an uninterrupted charging/discharging cycle. You should therefore not remove the battery unnecessarily and where possible not terminate the charging process before completion .

The power supply unit heats up when used for long periods. This is normal and not dangerous.

If the battery is removed for longer than 30 seconds, the clock must be reset.

(Change phone code)

You define the phone code (4-8 digit number) the first time you call up a phone-code protected function (e.g.

Direct call, p. 15). It is then valid for

all phone-code protected functions. Following the third incorrect attempt, access to the phone code and the functions that use it is denied. If this happens please contact Siemens Service (p. 60).

Clearing SIM card barrings

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 in accordance with the instructions. If the PUK (MASTER PIN) has been lost, please contact your service provider.

Preventing accidental activation

Even if PIN use is deactivated (p. 14) confirmation is required to switch on the phone.

This prevents the phone from being switched on accidentally, e. g. when carried in a pocket or whilst you are on an aircraft.
