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 and
MultiMediaCard 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 charging device may
be destroyed.
The ringtone (S. 88), info tones
(S. 88) 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.
Important:
Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!
For software installation see important
warning message on p. 68.

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.
You may only open the phone to
replace the battery (100 % mercury-free), or SIM card or
MultiMediaCard. 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,
