Network Services
A number of features included in this
guide are called Network Services.
They are special services provided by
wireless service providers. In order
to use any of these Network Servic-
es, you must subscribe to these ser-
vice(s) from your service provider
and obtain instructions for their use.
Some of these Network Services may
not be available when roaming on a
network other than your home
network.
Standby and
Talk Time Information
The mobile phone incorporates fea-
tures that are new to the mobile
phone world. These may include col-
or displays and lighting, graphic
games, music reproduction and
browsing the Internet. The way you
use the display and the features will
affect the performance of the bat-
tery and how long it lasts between
charge cycles. The quoted standby
times and talk times show the mini-
mum and maximum performance
that can be expected from the bat-
tery under normal network condi-
tions and with the default settings as
set by the factory. However, playing
games (particularly with the back-
light 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,
charging and battery condition, how
you use your phone and other
factors.
Memory
The mobile phone contains an inter-
nal memory device that stores the
software required to operate the
mobile phone, communicate with
the GSM/GPRS network and provide
the user interface. Some features in
the internal memory run additional
devices and some additional games
and utilities. The amount of memory
available in the mobile phone is fi-
nite and may be insufficient to store
large numbers of applications and
files.
Warning!
Remember to back up your data and to do
so frequently. Always back up all data and
programs before sending the mobile phone
in for repair.

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 interfere
with the functioning of medical
devices such as hearing aids or
pacemakers. 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 infor-
mation consult your doctor.
The ringtones (p. 88), message
tones (p. 92) and handsfree
(p. 33) 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 (p. 33). Otherwise you
risk serious permanent dam-
age to your hearing.
Only use original Siemens bat-
teries (100 % mercury-free)
and – charging devices. Other-
wise you risk serious damage
to health and property. The bat-
tery could explode, for instance.
Small parts such as the SIM
card, sealing stop, lens ring
and lens cap can be disman-
tled 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 de-
stroyed.
The power supply must be
plugged into an easily accessi-
ble AC mains power socket
when charging the battery. The
only way to turn off the charg-
ing device after charging the
battery is to unplug it.
Do not use a handheld while
driving.
Do not use an optical magnifier
to look at the activated infrared
interface [Class 1 LED product
(classification as per
IEC 60825-1)].
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy
disks. Information stored on
them could be lost.

Bluetooth®
Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This
makes it possible to establish a wireless
connection of your phone with a headset of
a car kit, or with other Bluetooth-enabled
devices.
In order to establish a secure link between
the devices and to prevent a third party from
having access to your phone, you should ob-
serve the following points:
• The initial connection between two devic-
es, what is called "pairing", should take
place in familiar surroundings.
• Both devices must be able to identify
themselves one time by using a pass-
word/PIN. To ensure sufficient security,
you should choose a 16-digit number com-
bination for a password that would be diffi-
cult to guess (if a PIN has not been
assigned).
• An automatic connection acceptance
("connection without confirmation") should
only be used in exceptional cases.
• In general, only trustworthy devices should
be linked in order to minimize security
risks.
• The name of your phone is transmitted in
a Bluetooth connection. The factory de-
fault is the "Bluetooth ID". The first time
Bluetooth is activated, or later in the
Bluetooth menu, you can change this
name (My BT name, page 96).
• If Bluetooth is not needed, this function
should be deactivated.
Before using Bluetooth accessories, or a
mobile phone inside a vehicle, check the ve-
hicle user guide for any limitations on the use
of these products.
You may only open the phone
to replace the battery (100 %
mercury-free) or SIM card. You
must not open the battery un-
der any circumstances. All oth-
er changes to this device are
strictly prohibited and will inval-
idate the guarantee.
Important:
Please dispose of unwanted
batteries and phones as per-
mitted by the laws in your
country.
The phone may cause interfer-
ence in the vicinity of TV sets,
radios and PCs.
Use only Siemens original ac-
cessories. This will avoid po-
tential risks to health or
property and ensure compli-
ance 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
technology, design and availability.
Siemens reserves the right to modify prod-
ucts without prior notice.

right page (7) of CX75 FUG am, A31008-H7420-A40-1-4A19 (09.05.2005, 11:16)
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attach-
ments 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 unnec-
essarily when the phone is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects
call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher pow-
er level than otherwise needed.
PoC Operation
Depending on the service options of-
fered by your service provider, you
may be able to use the CX75 phone
as a two-way radio (push-and-talk
over cellular "PoC" mode). In order to
maintain compliance with FCC RF ex-
posure guidelines while using the
CX75 phone in PoC mode, the phone
must be held in a vertical position at
least one inch (2.5 cm) from the lips.
Driving
Laws pertaining to the use of mobile
phones while driving vary significantly
from state to state and sometimes
even from locality 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 recom-
mends 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 permit-
ted, Siemens encourages persons to
use their phones responsibly and to
employ hands-free devices. Also, if us-
ing your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving –
driving safely is your first
responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if
available;
Important
Read this information before using
your wireless handheld phone.
As this mobile phone is equipped
with a fixed (non-retractable) an-
tenna, some paragraphs in the text
below may not be applicable.

• Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call, if
driving conditions 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 equip-
ment, in the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehi-
cle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, seri-
ous injury could result.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers'
Association recommends that a mini-
mum separation of six inches (6")
be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations
are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of
Wireless 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
pacemaker to minimize the poten-
tial for interference;
• should turn the phone OFF imme-
diately 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 manu-
facturer to discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medi-
cal devices, consult the manufactur-
ers of your devices to determine if
they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtain-
ing this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations post-
ed in these areas instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.

right page (9) of CX75 FUG am, A31008-H7420-A40-1-4A19 (09.05.2005, 11:16)
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehi-
cle. 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 request-
ed 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.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting op-
erations, turn your phone OFF when
in a “blasting area” or in areas post-
ed: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey
all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and in-
structions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive at-
mosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include: fueling
areas such as gasoline stations; be-
low deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; 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
powders; 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 emergency 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,
operates using radio signals, wire-
less and landline networks, and user-
programmed functions. Because of
this, connections in all conditions
cannot be guaranteed. Therefore,
you should never rely solely on any
wireless phone for essential commu-
nications (for example, medical

emergencies). Remember – to make
or receive any calls, the phone must
be switched on and be used in a ser-
vice area that has adequate signal
strength. Emergency 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 neces-
sary information as accurately as
possible. Remember that your wire-
less phone might be the only means
of communication at the scene of an
accident, therefore you should not
terminate the call until given permis-
sion to do so.
Batteries and Chargers
Only use original Siemens batteries
(100% mercury-free) and charging
devices. Use of non-Siemens batter-
ies and/or charging devices may
cause explosion 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 regula-
tions. Improper use invalidates the
warranty.
Battery safety precautions

Getting started
The phone is packaged in dismantled
form and must be re-assembled prior
to using for the first time.
In rare cases, static discharge may
cause discolouration at the edges of
the display. However, this will disap-
pear within approx. 10 minutes.
Inserting SIM card/
battery
The service provider supplies you
with a SIM card on which all the im-
portant data for your line is stored. If
the SIM card has been delivered in
credit-card size, snap the smaller
segment out and remove any rough
edges.
• Place the SIM card in front of the
slot with the contact surface fac-
ing downwards. Then push the
SIM card gently inwards 1(en-
sure that the chamfered corner is
in the correct position). Please do
not use any tools, when removing
the SIM card.
• Insert the battery sideways into
the phone 2, then press it
downwards 3until it clicks
into position.
• To remove the battery, pull it out
with the retaining tab on the side.
Your phone's dis-
play is supplied
with a protective
film. Remove this
film slowly before
assembling the
phone.

when delivered. Plug the charger ca-
ble into the bottom of the phone,
plug the power supply unit into a
mains power socket and charge for
at least two hours.
YDisplay during charging
Charging time
A flat battery is fully charged after
about 2 hours. Charging is only pos-
sible within a temperature range of
+5 °C to 45 °C (+41°F to +113°F). If
the temperature rises/falls 5°C
above/below this, i.e drops to 32°F
or rises to 122°F, the charge symbol
flashes a warning. The mains voltage
specified on the power supply unit
must not be exceeded.

Operating times
The operating times depend upon
the conditions of use. Extreme tem-
peratures considerably reduce the
phone’s standby time. Therefore,
avoid placing the phone in the sun or
on a heater.
Talktime: up to 300 minutes
(standard battery)
Standby time: up to 250 hours
(standard battery)
Charge icon not visible
If the battery has been discharged
fully, the charge icon is not immedi-
ately visible when the power supply
is plugged in. It will appear after up
to two hours. In this case, the battery
is fully charged after 3 to 4 hours.
Only use the plug-in power supply unit
included in delivery!
Display while in service
Charge level display during opera-
tion (flat – fully charged):
VWX
A beep sounds when the battery is
nearly flat. The charge level of the
battery is only displayed correctly af-
ter an uninterrupted charging/dis-
charging cycle. Therefore do not re-
move the battery unnecessarily, and
where possible, do not end the charg-
ing process prematurely.
Additional information
The power supply unit heats up when used
for long periods. This is normal and not
dangerous.
If the battery is removed for longer than
30 seconds, the clock must be reset.
