battery under normal network conditions
and with the default settings as set by the
factory. However, playing games (particu-
larly with the backlight continuously
switched on) and listening to music will
shorten the time available for standby
and to make and receive telephone calls.
Operation times also vary depending on
network conditions, SIM settings, charg-
ing and battery condition, how you use
your phone and other factors.
Memory
The mobile phone contains an internal
memory device that stores the software
required to operate the mobile phone,
communicate with the GSM/GPRS net-
work and provide the user interface.
Some features in the internal memory
run additional devices and some addition-
al games and utilities. The amount of
memory available in the mobile phone is
finite and may be insufficient to store
large numbers of applications and files.
Warning!
Remember to back up your data and to do so fre-
quently. Always back up all data and programs
before sending the mobile phone in for repair.

VAR Language: am; VAR issue date: 050324
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, hos-
pitals or while driving.
Mobile phones can interfere with
the functioning of medical devices
such as hearing aids or pacemak-
ers. 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 ringtones, message 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 Siemens batteries
(100 % mercury-free) and – charg-
ing devices. Otherwise you risk seri-
ous damage to health and property.
The battery could explode, for in-
stance.
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.
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.
Do not use a handheld while
driving.
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers such
as credit cards and floppy disks. In-
formation stored on them could be
lost.
You may only open the phone to re-
place the battery (100 % mercury-
free) or SIM card. You must not
open the battery under any circum-
stances. All other changes to this
device are strictly prohibited and will
invalidate the guarantee.

Safety precautions
VAR Language: am; VAR issue date: 050324
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved re-
placement antenna. Unauthorized anten-
nas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC
regulations.
Phone operation
Normal position
Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna pointed up
and over your shoulder.
Tips on efficient operation
For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully
(if applicable).
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessari-
ly when the phone is in use. Contact
with the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the phone to operate at
a higher power level than otherwise
needed.
Driving
Laws pertaining to the use of mobile
phones while driving vary significantly from
state to state and sometimes even from lo-
cality to locality within states. For example,
some areas may allow persons to use their
mobile phones only if they employ a hands-
free device, and some areas may prohibit
the use of cell phones entirely. Accordingly,
Siemens recommends that persons check
the laws for the areas in which they drive or
will be driving. For areas where the use of
mobile phones while driving is permitted,
Siemens encourages persons to use their
Important:
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.
Use only Siemens original accesso-
ries. This will avoid potential risks to
health or property and ensure com-
pliance with all relevant regulations.
Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!
These safety instructions also apply to Siemens
original accessories.
Product attributes are subject to changes in tech-
nology, design and availability. Siemens reserves
the right to modify products without prior notice.
Important
Read this information before using your
wireless handheld phone.
As this mobile phone is equipped with a
fixed (non-retractable) antenna, some
paragraphs in the text below may not be
applicable.

phones responsibly and to employ hands-
free devices. Also, if using your phone while
driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving – driving
safely is your first responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park before mak-
ing or answering a call, if driving condi-
tions so require.
For vehicles equipped with air bags
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT
place objects, including either installed or
portable wireless equipment, in the area
over the air bag or in the air bag deploy-
ment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag in-
flates, serious injury could result.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from radio frequency (RF) sig-
nals. However, certain electronic equip-
ment may not be shielded against the RF
signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers' Associ-
ation recommends that a minimum separa-
tion of six inches (6") be maintained be-
tween a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommenda-
tions are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wire-
less Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers
• should ALWAYS keep the phone more
than six inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON;
• should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket;
• should use the ear opposite the pace-
maker to minimize the potential for in-
terference;
• should turn the phone OFF immediate-
ly if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want
to consult your service provider or your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alter-
natives.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical de-
vices, consult the manufacturers of your
devices to determine if they are ade-
quately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facili-
ties when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equip-
ment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic sys-
tems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regard-
ing your vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any equipment that
has been added to your vehicle.
Posted facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where
posted notices so require.
Airplanes
FCC and Airline Regulations prohibit using
your phone while in the air. Turn your
phone OFF when requested by the airline.
Check and comply with the policy of your
airline regarding the use of your phone
while the airplane is on the ground.

Safety precautions
VAR Language: am; VAR issue date: 050324
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting opera-
tions, turn your phone OFF when in a
“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn
off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and in-
structions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmo-
sphere are often but not always clearly
marked. They include: fueling areas such
as gasoline stations; below deck on boats;
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facili-
ties; vehicles using liquefied petroleum
gas (such as propane or butane); areas
where the air contains chemicals or parti-
cles, such as grain, dust or metal pow-
ders; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine.
Emergency calls (SOS)
Your wireless phone can be used to make
emergency calls. You can make an emer-
gency call from the main display screen.
Enter the local emergency number such
as 911 and then press the Akey.
This phone, like any wireless phone, oper-
ates using radio signals, wireless and
landline networks, and user-pro-
grammed functions. Because of this, con-
nections in all conditions cannot be guar-
anteed. Therefore, you should never rely
solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications (for example, medical
emergencies). Remember – to make or
receive any calls, the phone must be
switched on and be used in a service area
that has adequate signal strength. Emer-
gency calls might not be possible on all
wireless phone networks or when certain
network services or phone features are in
use. Check with local service providers re-
garding their network features.
Always make certain that your phone is
properly charged before attempting any
emergency calls. If you allow your battery
to discharge, you will be unable to receive
or make calls, including emergency calls.
You must then wait a few minutes after
the charging begins to place any
emergency calls.
When making an emergency call,
remember to give all of the necessary in-
formation as accurately as possible. Re-
member that your wireless phone might
be the only means of communication at
the scene of an accident, therefore you
should not terminate the call until given
permission to do so.
Batteries and Chargers
Only use original Siemens batteries
(100% mercury-free) and charging
devices. Use of non-Siemens batteries
and/or charging devices may cause explo-
sion resulting in serious injury and/or
property damage. Use original Siemens
accessories in order to avoid possible
injury and property damage and to
ensure compliance with applicable laws
and regulations. Improper use invalidates
the warranty.
Battery safety precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, injury or electric
shock, and to properly dispose of batter-
ies, please read and understand the fol-
lowing instructions. CONTAINS LITHIUM-
ION OR NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY.
BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR DIS-
POSED OF PROPERLY. DO NOT DISPOSE IN
MUNICIPAL WASTE.
1. Only use the batteries specified for use
with this mobile phone.
