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
requirements and local restric-
tions when using the phone. For
example in aeroplanes, petrol
stations, hospitals or while
driving.
Mobile phones can interferewith
the functioning of medical devic-
es such as hearing aids or pace-
makers. Keep at least 20 cm/9
inches between phone and
pacemaker. When using the mo-
bile phone hold it to the ear
which is further away from the
pacemaker. For more infor-
mation consult your doctor.
The SIM card may be removed.
Caution! Small parts like this
could be swallowed by young
children.
The mains voltage specified on
the power supply unit (Volt)
must not be exceeded. Other-
wise the charging device may be
destroyed.
The ringtone (p. 67), info tones
(p. 68) and handsfree talking are
reproduced through the loud-
speaker. Do not hold the phone
to your ear when it rings or when
you have switched on the hands-
free function (p. 20). Otherwise
you risk serious permanent dam-
age to your hearing.
Only use original Siemens bat-
teries (100 % mercury-free) and
– charging devices. 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 % mer-
cury-free) or SIM card. You must
not open the battery under any
circumstances. All other chang-
es to this device are strictly pro-
hibited and will invalidate the
operating licence.

batteries and phones as permit-
ted by the laws in your country.

tial risks to health or property
and ensure compliance with all
relevant regulations.

ries or death from strangulation no other
accessories are allowed for this purpose.

Getting
started Insert SIM card/battery
The service provider supplies you
with a SIM card on which all the im-
portant data for your account is
stored. If the SIM card is in credit-
card size, snap out the smaller seg-
ment out and remove rough edges.
• Remove the battery cover by
pressing top centre of the cover
and slide downwards.
• Insert the SIM card into the slot
with the contact area facing down-
wards and push gently until it en-
gages below the holder (make
sure the angled corner is in the
correct position).
• Place the battery into the block of
the phone, with the contact area
facing down. Push the battery
carefully downwards.
• Slide the battery cover upwards
from the bottom of the phone, un-
til it latches into place.
Note
Always switch off phone before removing
the battery!
Only 3V SIM cards are supported. Please
contact your service provider, if you have
an older card.

Charging the battery
The battery is not supplied fully
charged. Plug the charger cable into
the bottom of the phone, plug the
power supply unit into the mains
power socket and charge for at least
3,5 hours.
Display when charging is in progress
During charging.
Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged af-
ter about 3,5 hours. Charging is only
possible within the temperature
range of +0 °C to +45 °C. If the tem-
perature rises/falls above/below this,
the charge symbol flashes a warn-
ing. The voltage specified on the
power supply unit must not be ex-
ceeded.
To obtain maximum performance of
the battery it must be fully charged
and then emptied at least five times.
Charge icon not visible
If the battery was completely dis-
charged, the charging symbol will
not be immediately visible when
connected to the charger. In this
case the battery is fully charged after
4,5-5,5 hours.
Only use the charger provided!
Display while in service
Charge level display during opera-
tion (empty-full):

A beep sounds when the battery is
nearly empty. The charge level of the
battery is displayed correctly only af-
ter uninterrupted charging/discharg-
ing. You should therefore not remove
the battery unnecessarily and where
possible not interrupt charging prema-
turely.
Note
The charger will become hot after extended
use. This is normal and not dangerous.
