Safety precautions
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 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.
The ringtone (p. 68), info tones
(p. 70) 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. 20).
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.
You may only open the phone
tore place 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.

4
Important:
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.
Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!
The phone may only be used if the keypad
is fully closed or fully opened; for optimum
audio quality, however, it is recommended
you open the keypad completely.
