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/9 inch between phone
and pacemaker. Whilst using
the mobile phone hold it to the
ear which is furthest away from
the pacemaker. For more information consult your doctor.
Tones, musicand 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. Otherwise you risk serious permanent damage to
your hearing.
Only use original 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, dust cap, lens ring or lens
cap as well as the Micro SD
Card can be dismantled and
swallowed by small children.
The phone must therefore be
stored out of the reach of small
children.
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use ear- or headphones at high volume.You
can adapt over time to a higher
volume, which may sound normal but can be damaging to
your hearing. Set your volume
to a safe level. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue
use of your system.
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.
3Safety precautions
You may only open the phone
to replace the battery (100 %
mercury-free), SIM and Micro
SD Card. You must not open
the battery under any
circumstances. All other
changes to this device are
strictly prohibited and will invalidate the guarantee.
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 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
re-use and recycling of used
electrical and electronic
equipment.
For more detailed information
about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your local council, waste disposal
service or the shop where you
purchased the product.
The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets,
radios and PCs.
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy
disks. Information stored on
them could be lost.
Use only 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
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, separation distance of 1.0 cm is
required.
Safety precautions4
Bluetooth
Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This
makes it possible to establish a wireless
connection of your phone with a headset
of a car kit, or with other Bluetooth-enabled
devices.
In order to establish a secure link between
the devices and to prevent a third party from
having access to your phone, you should observe the following points:
• The initial connection between two devices, what is called "pairing", should take
place in familiar surroundings.
• Both devices must be able to identify
themselves one time by using a password/PIN. To ensure sufficient security,
you should choose a 16-digit number combination for a password that would be difficult to guess (if a PIN has not been
assigned).
• An automatic connection acceptance
("connection without confirmation") should
only be used in exceptional cases.
• In general, only trustworthy devices should
be linked in order to minimize security
risks.
• You should restrict the "visibility" of your
phone if possible. This will make it much
more difficult for unknown devices to establish a connection with your phone. To
do this, deactivate visibility in the Bluetooth menu.
• The name of your phone is transmitted in a
Bluetooth connection. The factory default
is the "Bluetooth ID". The first time Bluetooth is activated, or later in the Bluetooth
menu, you can change this name.
• If Bluetooth is not needed, this function
should be deactivated.
®
Before using Bluetooth accessories, or a
mobile phone inside a vehicle, check the vehicle user guide for any limitations on the use
of these products.

Your phone's displays are covered
with a protective film. Remove this
film slowly before using the phone.
In rare cases, static discharge may
cause discolouration at the edges of
the display. However, this will disappear within approx. 10 minutes.
Inserting the SIMcard/
Micro SD card
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.
Attention
Insert the SIM card before inserting the
Micro SD Card.When the Micro SD Card is
wrongly inserted into the SIM card slot, it
cannot be removed!
The Micro SD Card gives your phone
a very large memory capacity. This
allows you to save picture/video files
and sound recordings, for example.
However, you can also use this Micro
SD Card like a floppy disk to save any
other files.
You can access the list of folders and
files in the My stuff menu (page 56).
If you assign a file from the Micro SD
Card to a function in the phone such
as a ringtone, the file is copied to the
phone memory.
New Micro SD Card
• Create a backup copy of the data on the
old Micro SD Card on a PC.
• Format the new Micro SD Card.
• Copy the data from the PC onto the new
Micro SD Card.

Connectivity
Your phone supports different methods for transmitting data in the mobile network:
• The fastest method is UMTS (Uni-
versal Mobile Telecommunications System). If you use UMTS, you can
make video calls in high quality.
You can be connected to the Internet permanently. Only the current
transmission time is charged by
the network operator. Some service providers do not yet support
this service.
•GPRS (General Packet Radio Serv-
ice) is another method for transmitting data in the mobile
network. With GPRS you can be
connected to the Internet permanently, as well, if the network has
sufficient capacity. Only the current transmission time is charged
by the network operator.
•GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communications) is a fully digital
standard for mobile networks
mainly used for voice calls and
text messages (SMS).
Depending on the surrounding network and your provider, the different
methods are used automatically. Depending on your provider you may
set which method to use (page 52).
Digital Rights Mgmt.
(DRM)
Remember that your telephone has
digital rights management. The use of
downloaded pictures, sounds or applications can be restricted by the suppliers, e.g. copy protection, use for a limited period of time only, number of
times they can be used etc.

Your phone has been designed and manufactured to the highest of standards and
should be treated with great care. The suggestions below will help you to enjoy your
phone for many years.
• Protect your phone from moisture and humidity. Precipitation, humidity and liquids
contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. Nevertheless, should your
phone become wet, disconnect it immediately from the power supply to avoid electric shock. Do not place your phone (even
to dry it) on/in a source of heat such as a
microwave oven, oven or radiator. The
phone may become overheated and possibly explode.
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty,
dirty areas. Its moving parts may be damaged and the casing may become deformed and discoloured.
• Do not store your phone in hot environments (e.g. vehicle instrument panel in the
summer). High temperatures can shorten
the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store your phone in cold environments. When the phone warms up again
(to its normal ambient temperature), moisture can form inside the phone, which may
damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not drop, knock or shake your phone.
Rough handling can damage internal circuit boards!
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
phone!
The suggestions given above apply equally
to your phone, battery, charger and all accessories. If any of these parts is not working
properly, obtain fast and reliable help at our
service centres.
Battery quality statement
The capacity of your mobile phone battery
will reduce each time it is charged/emptied.
Storage at too high or low temperatures will
also result in a graduly capacity loss. As a result the operating time of your mobile phone
may be considerably reduced, even after a
full recharge of the battery.
Regardless of this, the battery has been designed and manufactured so that it can be recharged and used for six months after the
purchase of your mobile phone. After six
months, if the battery is clearly suffering from
loss of performance, we recommend that your
replace it. Please buy only original batteries.
Display quality
declaration
For technological reasons, a few small dots
with different colours may appear in the display in exceptional cases.
Just remember that the appearance of
brighter or darker dots generally does not
mean that a fault has occurred.

INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is
2 W/kg and was adopted into the European
Standard EN 50360 and into other national
standards. The CE mark demonstrates that
the EU requirements are met.
The highest SAR value for this device when
tested at the ear was 0.37 W/kg
devices offer a range of functions, they can
be used in positions other than the head,
such as on the body. In this case, a separation distance of 1.0 cm is required.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device's
highest transmitting power, the actual SAR
of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the
1
. As mobile
device to ensure it only uses the minimum
level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated
that present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions
for the use of mobile devices. They note that
if you nevertheless want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting the
length of calls or using a 'hands-free' device
to keep the mobile phone away from the
head and body.
