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 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 (volt) must not be exceeded. Otherwise the power supply unit may be destroyed.

The ringtone (p. 50) and info tones are reproduced through the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to your ear when it rings. 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) or SIM card may be changed. You must not open the battery under any circumstances. Any other changes to this device are strictly prohibited and will invalidate the operating licence.

Page 5

Important:

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!

Charging time

An empty battery is fully charged after about 2.5 hours. Charging is only possible within a temperature range of +5 °C to +40 °C. 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 charger is plugged in. It will appear after up to 2 hours. In this case the battery is fully charged after 3-4 hours.

Please only use the power supply unit provided!

Display while in service

Charge level display during operation (empty-full):
