Safety precautions
Notes for parents
Read the user manual and safety instructions carefully before using the phone!
Explain the contents of the phone to your children and the risks associated with using the
phone!
When in a hospital switch off
your phone. Mobile phones can
interfere with the functioning of
medical devices such as hearing aids or pacemakers. Keep at
least 20cm/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.
Only use a handsfree kit while
driving (p. 84).
Mobile phones must be
switched off at all times in an aircraft. To prevent accidental activation, see (p. 87).
Switch off near petrol stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants or
blasting operations. Mobile
phones can interfere with the
operation of technical installations.
The SIM card may be removed.
Caution! Small parts could be
swallowed by children.
The mains voltage (V) specified
on the power supply unit must
not be exceeded.
Ringtones (p. 70), message
tones (p. 71) and handsfree
talking are reproduced through
the loudspeaker. Do not hold the
phone to the ear when it rings or
when you have switched on the
handsfree function (p. 22). Otherwise you could cause serious
damage to your hearing.
Do not view the activated infrared interface [Class 1 LED
product (classification under
IEC 60825-1)] with an optical
magnifier.
We recommend you only use
Siemens original batteries
(100% mercury-free) and charging devices. Otherwise considerable health risks and damage
to the product cannot be excluded. For example, the battery
may explode.
Do not open the phone. Only the
battery (100% mercury-free) 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 criteria
required for operation of the
unit.
3
4
Please note:
Dispose of used batteries and
phones according to the legal
regulations.
Mobile phones can interfere
with the operation of nearby
TVs, radios or PCs.
Only use Siemens original accessories. In this way you will
avoid possible health risks and
damage to the product and ensure compliance with all relevant provisions.
Improper use invalidates the warranty!
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.

Getting started
Charge battery
The battery is not fully charged
when delivered. Plug charger cable
into the bottom of the phone, plug
power supply unit into a mains power socket and charge for at least two
hours.
Display when charging is in progress
h During charging.
Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged after about 2 hours. Charging is only
possible within the temperature
range 5°C to 40°C. At 5°C above or
below, the charge icon blinks as a
warning. The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit must
not be exceeded.
Charge icon not visible
If the battery is totally discharged, no
charge icon is displayed when the
charger is plugged in. It will appear
after two hours at most. In this case
the battery is fully charged after
3-4 hours.
Only use the charger provided!
Display while in service
Charge level display during operation (empty-full):
adg
A beep sounds when the battery is
nearly empty. The battery level is only shown correctly during an unbroken charging/discharging cycle. You
should therefore not remove the bat-
tery unnecessarily and where possible
not finish the loading process early.
Additional information
The charger heats up when used for long
periods. This is normal and not dangerous.
