Safety precautions2
Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain the content to your children and the hazards associated with using the phone.
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 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 40), info
tones (page 45)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 22). 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.
Small parts such as the SIM
card, sealing stop, lens ring
and lens cap as well as the
RS MultiMediaCard 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
Do not open the phone. Only
replacing the battery, SIM card
and RS MultiMediaCard is
permissible. You must not
open the battery under any circumstances. Any other changes to this device are strictly
prohibited and will invalidate
the operating licence.
All electrical and electronic
products should be disposed
of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities
appointed by the government
or the local authorities.
This crossed-out wheeled bin
symbol on the product means
the product is covered by the
European Directive
2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent
potential negative consequences for the environment
and human health. It is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and
electronic equipment.
For more detailed information
about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your
city office, waste disposal
service or the shop where you
purchased the product.
The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets,
radios and PCs.
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy disks. Information stored on
them could be lost.
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.
Safety precautions4
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 one time 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 general, 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 42).
®
• 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 42).
• 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 started8
Getting started
Your phone's display is supplied with
a protective film. Remove this film
slowly before using the phone.
In rare cases, static discharge may
cause discolouration at the edges of
the display. However, this will disappear within approx. 10 minutes.
Inserting the 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 contact surface facing downwards. Then press the SIM
card slightly to push it in (ensure
that the chamfered corner is in the
correct position).
• Insert the battery sideways into
the phone
wards
• To remove, press the retaining tab
on the side of the battery, then lift
the battery out.
• Place the cover in position, then

RS MultiMediaCard™
The RS MultiMediaCard gives your
phone a very large memory capacity.
This allows you to save picture/video
files and sound recordings, for example. However, you can also use
this MultiMediaCard like a floppy
disk to save any other files.
RS MultiMediaCard™ is a trademark of
the MultiMediaCard Association.

• Create a backup copy of the data on the
old card on a PC.

Before removing the RS MultiMediaCard,
carry out the Eject card function in the settings menu (page 46). This prevents any
possible data loss.
Charging the battery
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.
Only use the plug-in power supply
included in delivery!
As an alternative, the battery can
be charged via the USB port
(Accessories, page 49).

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.
Do not remove the battery unnecessarily,
and where possible, do not end the charging process prematurely.
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.
Operating time
The operating time depends upon
the respective conditions of use. Extreme temperatures considerably reduce the phone’s standby time.
Avoid placing the phone in the sun
or on a heater.
Call time:
• UMTS: up to 300 minutes
• GSM: up to 360 minutes
Standby time:
• UMTS: up to 400 hours
• GSM: up to 400 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.
