Keep at least 20cm/9 inches between the phone and pacemaker. When using the mobile phone hold it to the ear which is furthest away from the pacemaker. For more information consult your doctor.

Always use the handsfree kit for calls while driving (S. 78).

Mobile phones must be switched off at all times in an aircraft. To prevent accidental activation, see (S. 56).

Switch off near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations. Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of technical installations.

The ringtone and the info tones are reproduced through the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to your ear when it rings. You may risk serious damage to your hearing.

SIM card may be removed. Caution! Small parts could be swallowed by children.

The mains voltage(V) specified on the power supply unit must not be exceeded.

Only use original Siemens batteries (100% mercury-free) and charging devices. You can risk damage to the product and your health.

The phone or battery (100% mercury-free) must not be opened under any circumstances (except to exchange battery or SIM card). Any other changes to this device are strictly prohibited, as they will invalidate the guarantee.

Please note:

Safely dispose of used batteries and phones according to the legal regulations.

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

Only use original Siemens accessories to avoid possible damage and to comply with the existing regulations.

Improper use invalidates the warranty!
