Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and
safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain the content and the hazards associat-
ed with using the phone to your children.
Remember to comply with legal
requirements and local restric-
tions when using the phone. For
example in aeroplanes, petrol sta-
tions, 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 pacemak-
er. For more information consult your doctor.
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.
Small parts such as the SIM card,
sealing stop, lens ring and lens
cap can be dismantled and swal-
lowed by small children. The
phone must therefore be stored
out of the reach of small children.
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy
disks. Information stored on them
could be lost.
The ringtone, info tones 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. Otherwise you risk
serious permanent damage to your hearing.
Only use original batteries (100 %
mercury-free) and – charging de-
vices. 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 % mercu-
ry-free), or SIM card. You must not
open the battery under any cir-
cumstances. All other changes to this device
are strictly prohibited and will invalidate the
guarantee.
The phone may cause interfer-
ence in the vicinity of TV sets, ra-
dios and PCs.
Use only original accessories. This will avoid
potential risks to health or property and en-
sure compliance with all relevant regulations.
Improper use will invalidate
the guarantee! These safe-
ty instructions also apply to
original accessories.

Getting started
Using the SIM card/battery
Your phone's display is delivered with
a protective film. Remove this film before
getting started. If the SIM card is credit
card-sized, snap out the smaller seg-
ment and trim any rough edges. Al-
ways switch off phone before remov-
ing the battery!
Only 3V and 1.8V SIM cards are sup-
ported. Please contact your service
provider if you have an older card.
Release and open battery cover
Insert SIM card
To remove the SIM card push the card

The battery is not
fully charged when
delivered. Plug
charger cable into

power supply unit heats up when used
for long periods. This is normal and
not dangerous.

Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged after
about 2 hours. Charging is only possi-
ble within a temperature range of
+5 °C to +40 °C. If the temperature ris-
es/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 (see
also p. 11).
Only use the power supply unit provided!
Display while in service
Charge level display during operation
(empty - full): adg.
A beep sounds when the battery is
nearly empty. The charge level of the
battery is only displayed correctly after
an uninterrupted charging/discharging
cycle. You should therefore not remove
the battery unnecessarily and where pos-
sible not terminate the charging process
early.

Care and
maintenance
Your phone has been designed and manufac-
tured to the highest of standards and should be
treated with great care. The suggestions below
will help you to enjoy your phone for many years.
• Protect your phone from moisture and hu-
midity. Precipitation, humidity and liquids
contain minerals that will corrode electronic
circuits. Nevertheless, should your phone
become wet, disconnect it immediately from
the power supply to avoid electric shock. Do
not place your phone (even to dry it) on/in a
source of heat such as a microwave oven,
oven or radiator. The phone may become
overheated and possibly explode.
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty
areas. Its moving parts may be damaged
and the casing may become deformed and
discoloured.
• Do not store your phone in hot environ-
ments (e.g. vehicle instrument panel in the
summer). High temperatures can shorten
the life of electronic devices, damage bat-
teries and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store your phone in cold environ-
ments. When the phone warms up again (to
its normal ambient temperature), moisture
can form inside the phone, which may dam-
age electronic circuit boards.
• 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 is not working properly, ob-
tain fast and reliable help at our service centres.

Battery quality statement
The capacity of your mobile phone battery will
reduce each time it is charged/emptied. Stor-
age at too high or low temperatures will also re-
sult in a gradual capacity loss. As a result the
operating time of your mobile phone may be
considerably reduced, even after a full re-
charge of the battery.
Regardless of this, the battery has been de-
signed and manufactured so that it can be re-
charged and used for six months after the
purchase of your mobile phone. After six months,
if the battery is clearly suffering from loss of per-
formance, we recommend that your replace it.
Please buy only original batteries.
Display quality declaration
For technological reasons, a few small dots
with different colours may appear in the display
in exceptional cases.
Just remember that the appearance of brighter
or darker dots generally does not mean that a
fault has occurred.

SAR
European Union (RTTE) and interna-
tional (ICNIRP)
INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits
for exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organ-
ization ICNIRP and include safety margins de-
signed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is
2 W/kg and was adopted into the European
Standard EN 50360 and into other national
standards. The CE mark demonstrates that the
EU requirements are met.
The highest SAR value for this device when
tested at the ear was 0.64 W/kg1. As mobile
devices offer a range of functions, they can be
used in positions other than the head, such as
directly on the body. In this case, the limits are
met too.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device's high-
est transmitting power, the actual SAR of this
device while operating is typically below that in-
dicated above. This is due to automatic chang-
es to the power level of the device to ensure it
only uses the minimum level required to reach
the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that
present scientific information does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for the use
of mobile devices. They note that if you never-
theless want to reduce your exposure then you
can do so by limiting the length of calls or using
a 'hands-free' device to keep the mobile phone
away from the head and body.
Additional Information can be found on the
websites of the World Health Organization
(www.who.int/emf) or BenQ Mobile
(www.siemens.com/mobilephones).
