• Wait until the phone is ready and the “Service Provider” appears
on the screen. (A green light will flash at the top right.)
Switching off:
• Press the key on the bottom right for approx. 2 seconds
until the light comes on (the display will say “Goodbye”). The phone
will then switch off.

the phone to your ear.
• At the end of the call, press the red key briefly to discon-
nect the call.
Making a call using key I, II or III:
• Press one of the keys I, II, or III briefly to display a previously
stored contact.
• Press the large green key briefly to connect to this number
and put the phone to your ear.

3 Safety advice
Please read this safety advice before reading the
operating instructions or using the phone
Danger
Medical aids such as hearing aids or heart
pacemakers may be affected by electromagnetic
waves from the mobile phone and may malfunc-
tion as a result. You are therefore advised to keep a mini-
mum distance of 15-20 cm between these devices and the
mobile phone and not to hold the phone directly to the ear
if you are wearing a hearing aid. Do not carry the mobile
phone in your shirt pocket if you are fitted with a pace-
maker. Contact your GP for further information.
Warning
Do not hold the mobile phone to your ear while
the ringtone is still sounding or when the “hands
free” option is activated. If these sounds are
delivered close to the ear, they can cause
serious long-term hearing damage. Under no circum-
stances should the mobile phone be held close to the ear
when the “hands free” option is activated or while it is ring-
ing.

8
Warning
Observe the legislation and local regulations
when using your mobile phone. These may vary
from country to country, for example on board
aircraft, at petrol filling stations, in hospitals and
while driving.
Warning
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is not
replaced correctly or if it is exposed to a naked
flame. Do not attempt to open the battery. Only
use a charger and battery which is supplied or
approved by the manufacturer. When replacing the battery,
ensure that it fits properly and is inserted the right way
round. It is designed so that it cannot be inserted the
wrong way round without using force.
Warning
The SIM card can be removed. It is possible for
small children to swallow it, so keep your mobile
phone out of the reach of children at all
times.
Please note:
Your mobile phone should only be used for the
purpose for which it is intended and only in
places where its use is permitted. Do not
expose it to moisture, intense heat or cold and
protect it from impact. Unauthorised use of this mobile
phone may damage it and invalidate the warranty. Do not
attempt to open your phone, except to replace the battery
or SIM card. Any other modifications to the phone are not

9
permitted and will result in the loss of your user authorisa-
tion.
Please note:
This mobile phone may interfere with television
sets, radios and electronic devices when placed
in close proximity.
Advice
Please note that the internal antenna is fitted
along the base of the mobile phone housing.
This reduces radiation exposure to the head
compared to phones where the antenna is fitted
at the top. In addition, as the antenna is built into the base
of the housing, you should - as far as possible - experience
less interference when using the phone with most types of
hearing aid.
Nevertheless, your mobile phone may cause interference
with certain hearing aids in spite of these special features.
If you experience interference, you are advised to contact
the manufacturer of your hearing aid to enquire about al-
ternative solutions.
Make sure you do not cover the lower end of the device
with your hand when you are using it. If your hand covers
the antenna reception area, the phone will have to oper-
ate at higher than normal transmission levels, which will
reduce the length and quality of its performance. It will also
affect the quality of your connection.
However, there is no scientific evidence that covering up
the antenna reception area with the hand will result in
health problems.

4 Your mobile phone and its parts
Please read these operating instructions carefully
and keep them in a safe place. No liability is ac-
cepted for losses caused by inadequate attention
being paid to these instructions or where the ad-
vice contained therein is not followed.
If technical questions or defects arise, please re-
fer at all times to the service advice provided at
the end of this booklet.
4.1 Housing
The housing of your mobile phone is manufactured
from high-quality ABS plastic with a paint finish.
•To enjoy a long and problem-free service life,
please protect your mobile phone against extreme
temperatures (below -10°C and above +55°C).
Protect the paint finish by not allowing the phone to
come into contact with rough surfaces and strong
abrasive or cleaning agents.
•The housing is not waterproof! Should the equip-
ment come into contact with water, dry the outside
of it at once. Disconnect the phone immediately if it
is connected to the power supply. Open the battery
compartment and remove the battery fully by re-
moving the connection leads. Stand the mobile

11
phone upright where there is good ventilation. Do
not expose the phone to any kind of heat. Do NOT
open the housing! Should the unit still show any
traces of moisture after drying, or should there be a
malfunction after the battery is re-inserted, please
contact your mobile phone dealer.
•Please ensure that no dirt or sand enters the
openings on the phone (i.e. buzzer signal outlet,
sockets for headphones and battery charger, mi-
crophone and loudspeaker outlets)
•Please clean the outside of your phone with a soft
damp cloth.
•Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough
handling can damage the internal parts. Damage
caused in this way is not covered by the warranty.

12
4.2 Electronic key lock
To prevent the keypad from being accidentally
pressed, you can activate the electronic key lock,
which locks all the keys except for the emergency call
function on the I, II and III keys.
You activate or deactivate the electronic key lock by
pressing the key for 3 seconds.
When the key lock is activated, you
will see the following message on
the top line of the display:
Incoming calls can still be taken using the call accep-
tance key. The lock is released for the duration of the
call and is automatically reinstated again afterwards.
The emergency call function is also available at all
times.
When the key lock is activated, you can use the
key to illuminate the display so that you can see the
time in the dark.
You also have the option of activating the key lock
automatically (when this has been deactivated by a
call, for example) after approx. 60 seconds, provided
you do not make a call or press any of the keys. The
procedure for setting up this function is described in
chapter 11.6.9 (page 107).

it should slide across
approx. 5 mm.
3. Now remove the cover.
4. When replacing the cover,
turn it so that the symbol
on the left side at rear of
the cover points to the
right. Place the cover on
the housing approx. 5 mm
to the right and then slide it
to the left. The safety catch
will engage.

After opening the cover ...
... you will see the
battery, which you can
easily remove and place
to the right hand side
with the connection
leads still attached.
The SIM card is mounted
under the battery
compartment.

17
4.5 Battery
Your phone is fitted with a top quality rechargeable
battery. Before a new battery is used for the first time,
it must be charged up for at least 4 hours.
On the left hand side of the display panel you will see
an elongated battery symbol. The more dark bars are
shown in the display, the higher the charge level of the
battery. When the battery is fully charged, the phone
can remain switched on and ready for use (i.e. on
standby) for up to approx. 120 hours (approx. 5 days)
or in use for up to 5 hours of continuous conversation.
When the battery has a charge of around 10% (i.e. the
equivalent of 8-12 hours on standby only) before it is
fully discharged, a red battery light will start to flash on
the top left above the display. At the same time, an
acoustic signal will sound approx. every quarter of an
hour to remind you that the mobile needs to be con-
nected up to the charger in the near future.
To charge the mobile phone battery, insert the plug on
the charger into the jack on the left hand side of the
bottom of the mobile phone. Do not switch the mobile
phone off while it is charging. You can still receive
and make phone calls while the phone is charging.
While the phone is charging, the text “Charging” ap-
pears on the display. The bars on the battery symbol
on the left of the display flash in sequence to represent
the charging process.
