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.
Ringtones (p. 43), info tones
(p. 45)and handsfree (p. 18)
talking are reproduced through
the loudspeaker. Do not hold
the phone to the ear when it
rings or when you have
switched on the handsfree function. 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.
Do not use an optical magnifier
to look at the activated infrared
interface [Class 1 LED product
(classification as per
IEC 60825-1)].
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 (V) must
not be exceeded. Otherwise
the charging device may be
destroyed.
Do not open the phone. Only
the battery (100% mercuryfree) or SIM card may be
replaced. You must not open
the battery under any circumstances. Any other changes to
this device are strictly prohibited, as they will invalidate the
type approval required for operation of the unit.
Important
Please dispose ofunwanted
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.
Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!
These safety instructions also apply to
Siemens original accessories.
Improved data transmission
In order for your phone to be able to transmit data at higher speeds, it is necessary to
have a good connection to the network.
Transmitting data can be delayed by the
process of establishing a connection. To
comply with guidelines on the effects of radio waves, you should keep the phone a
distance of 22 mm from your body while
transmitting data.

Getting started
Inserting the 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.
Additional information
Please switch off your phone before
removing the battery!
Only 3 V SIM cards are supported. Please
contact your service provider if you have an
older card.

Charging the battery
Charging the battery
The battery is not fully charged when
delivered. Plug charger cable into the
bottom of the phone, plug power
supply unit into a mains power socket
and charge for at least two hours.
As an alternative, the battery can be
charged via the USB port (see
Accessories: USB data cable).
Y
Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged
after about 2 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.

reduce the phone’s standby time.
Avoid placing the phone in the sun
or on a heater.
Call time: 100 to 330 minutes
Stand-by time: 60 to 300 hours
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
included in delivery!
Display while in service
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 finish the
charging process prematurely.
Additional information
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.

Siemens Service (p. 59).
Clearing SIM card barring
If the PIN is entered incorrectly three

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