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 20cm 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. 39), info tones (p. 39) 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. 15). 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 open the phone. Only the battery (100% mercury-free), front and back covers, keypad 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:

Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!

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.

Charging time

An empty battery is fully charged after about 2 hours. Charging is only possible within a temperature range of +5 °C to +40 °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.

Charge icon not visible

If the battery has been discharged fully the charge icon is not immediately visible when the power supply unit is plugged in. It will appear after up to two hours. In this case the battery is fully charged after 3-4 hours.

Only use the power supply unit supplied! Display while in service

Charge level display during operation (empty-full):

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
