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 whilst driving.
Mobile phones can interfere
with the functioning of medical
devices such as hearing aids or
pacemakers. Keep a distance of
at least 20cm/9 inches between
the phone and pacemaker.
Whilst using the mobile phone,
hold it to the ear 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. For instance, the battery may
explode.
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy
disks. Information stored on
them could be lost.
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.
Small parts such as the SIM
Card, dust cap, lens ring and
lens cap as well as the
RS MultiMediaCard can be dismantled and swallowed by
small children. The phone
must therefore be stored out of
the reach of small children.
3Safety precautions
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.
You may only open the phone
to replace the battery
(100 % mercury-free), SIM and
RS MultiMediaCard. You must
not open the battery under any
circumstances. All other
changes to this device are
strictly prohibited and will invalidate the guarantee.
The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets,
radios and PCs.
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.
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 wheelie 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.
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.
Safety precautions4
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

Bluetooth
Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This
makes it possible to establish a wireless
connection with your phone and a headset,
Car Kit, or other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
In order to establish a secure link between
the devices and to prevent a third party
from having access to y our phone , you
should observe the following points:
• The initial connection between two devices, what i s called "pairing", sh ould take
place in familiar surroundings.
• Both devices must be able to identify
themselves once 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, in the Bluetooth menu, set the option Visib.to others from Always visible
to Not visible (page 39).
1.5 cm is required.
®
• 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 (My BT info
• 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

Charging the 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 (for
charging via USB, see page 46). Do not
interrupt the charging procedure
prematurely.
à
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 network conditions and conditions of use. Extreme temperatures
considerably reduce the phone’s standby time. You should therefore avoid
Display when charging is in
progress.
leaving the phone in the sun or on a
radiator (talktime, standby time see
page 61).
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):
Ý Þ ß
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.
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.

SMS/MMS
You can use your phone to send and receive messages via SMS and MMS
(Multimedia Messaging Service).
27SMS/MMS
Ask your service provider whether this
service is available, and register for it if
necessary.
Information about SMS
You can use your phone to transmit and
receive very long messages (up to
760 characters). They are automatically
composed of several "normal" SMS messages (note higher charges). Using special letters in some languages reduces
the maximum possible length of an
SMS. If you do not wish to use these letters, please change the input language in
the options menu.
Information about MMS
The Multimedia Messaging Service
enables you to send texts, pictures/
videos and sounds in a combined message to another mobile phone or to an
e-mail address. All elements of an MMS
message are merged to form a "slide
show".
Depending on your phone's settings,
you will receive either the complete
message automatically or notification
that an MMS has been saved in the network, giving sender and size details. You
may then download it to your phone to
read it.

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. 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 environ-
ments (e.g. on a vehicle's dashboard 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 environ-
ments. 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 gradual 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 you mobile phone. After six
months, if the battery is clearly suffering
from loss of performance, we recommend
that you 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 0.94 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, at data
transfer (GPRS) a separation distance of
1.5 cm is required.
1
. As mobile
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
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.
Additional Information can be found on the
websites of the World Health Organization
(www.who.int/emf) or BenQ Mobile
(www.BenQMobile.com).

international guidelines for testing.
