Safety precautions  
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 re-  
quirements and local restrictions  
when using the phone. For example  
in aeroplanes, petrol stations, hospi-  
tals or while driving.  
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.  
Mobile phones can interfere with the  
functioning of medical devices such  
as hearing aids or pacemakers.  
Keep at least 20 cm/9 inches be-  
tween 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.  
You may only open the phone to re-  
place the battery (100 % mercury-  
free), faceplate, keypad or SIM card.  
You must not open the battery under  
any circumstances. All other chang-  
es to this device are strictly prohibit-  
ed and will invalidate the guarantee.  
Important:  
Small parts such as the SIM card,  
sealing stop, lens ring and lens cap  
can be dismantled and swallowed by  
small children. The phone must  
therefore be stored out of the reach  
of small children.  
Please dispose of unwanted batter-  
ies and phones as permitted by the  
laws in your country.  
The phone may cause interference  
in the vicinity of TV sets, radios and  
PCs.  
The mains voltage specified on the  
vice may be destroyed.  
Use only Siemens original accesso-  
ries. This will avoid potential risks to  
health or property and ensure com-  
pliance with all relevant regulations.  
The ringtone (p. 23), info tones  
(p. 23) and handsfree talking are re-  
Do not hold the phone to your ear  
when it rings or when you have  
switched on the handsfree function  
(p. 10). Otherwise you risk serious  
permanent damage to your hearing.  
Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!

Do not drop, knock or shake your phone. Rough  
handling can damage internal circuit boards!  
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents,  
or strong detergents to clean the phone!  
The suggestions given above apply equally to your  
phone, battery, charger and all accessories. If any  
of these parts are not working properly, take them  
to your nearest qualified service outlet. The per-  
sonnel there will assist you and, if necessary, re-  
pair the device.

to enjoy your phone for many years.  
Protect your phone from moisture and humidity!  
Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain min-  
erals that will corrode electronic circuits. Should  
your phone nonetheless become wet, discon-  
nect it immediately from any power supply, re-  
move the battery and leave the open phone to  
dry at room temperature!

Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty ar-  
eas. Its moving parts may become damaged.  
Do not store your phone in hot areas. High tem-  
peratures can shorten the life of electronic  
devices, damage batteries and warp or melt  
certain plastics.  
Do not store your phone in cold areas. When the  
phone warms up again (to its normal ambient  
temperature), moisture can form inside the phone,  
which may damage electronic circuit boards.

The capacity of your mobile phone bat-  
tery will reduce each time it is charged/  
emptied. Storage at too high or low tem-  
peratures will also result in a gradual ca-  
pacity loss. As a result the operating time  
of your mobile phone may be considera-

the battery.  
The purchase receipt, together with the date of  
purchase, shall be required as evidence for in-  
voking the Guarantee. Claims under the Guar-  
antee must be submitted within two months of

Regardless of this, the battery has been  
designed and manufactured so that it can  
be recharged and used for six months af-  
ter the purchase of your mobile phone.

While there may be differences between  
the SAR levels of various phones and at

ommended by international guidelines  
from the International Commission on
