Safety precautions2

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 ringtones (page 36), info tones (page 42) 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 (page 18). 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 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.

Do not place the phone near to electromagnetic data carriers such as credit cards and floppy disks. Information stored on them could be lost.

Small parts such as the SIM card, sealing stop, lens ring and lens cap can be dismantled and swallowed by small children. The phone must therefore be stored out of the reach of small children.

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) 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.

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! These safety instructions also apply to Siemens 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 1.5 cm is required.

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 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 g eneral, 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 of Always visible to

Not visible (page 39).

• 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 name, page 39).

• 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.

Getting started

Your phone's display is covered with a protective film. Remove this before using the phone.

In rare cases static discharge can cause temporary discoloration in the display. However, this will disappear within approx. 10 minutes.

Inserting 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.

• Place the SIM card in front of the slot with the contacts facing downwards. Then push the SIM card fully into the holder using gentle pressure that the chamfered corner is in the correct position.

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 45). Do not interrupt the charging procedure prematurely.

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. Extreme temperatures considerably re-

duce the phone’s standby time. You should therefore avoid leaving the phone in the sun or on a radiator.

Talktime: up to 300 minutes Stand-by time: up 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 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.

(Change phone code)

You define the phone code (4-8 digit number) the first time you call up a phone-code protected function (e.g.

Direct call, page 43). It is then valid

for all phone-code protected functions. Following the third incorrect attempt, access to the phone code and the functions that use it is denied. If this happens please contact Siemens Service (page 57).

Clearing SIM card barrings

If the PIN is entered incorrectly three times, the SIM card is barred. Enter the PUK (MASTER PIN) provided by your service provider with the SIM card in accordance with the instructions. If the PUK (MASTER PIN) has been lost, please contact your service provider.

Preventing accidental activation

Even if PIN use is deactivated (page 10) confirmation is required to switch on the phone.

This prevents the phone from being switched on accidentally, e.g. when carried in a pocket or whilst you are on an aircraft.
