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.
