operating instructions. It will stand
you in good stead when you come
to use the phone. In particular,
please observe the safety (p. 3) and
PIN/Security precautions (p. 11).
Please also take note of the follow-

The Sync Station (p. 8) is not includ-

Please therefore connect the charg-
ing cable from the power supply unit
directly in the socket at the bottom
of the phone and connect the power
supply unit to the mains supply.
Squeeze the sides of the connector
to remove the charging cable from
the phone.

All radio transmitters are subject to
restrictions such as:
Switch off in hospitals; medical
equipment such as pacemakers
and hearing aids may be
affected.
While driving:
Do not hold the phone in your
hand. Only use one earpiece of
the stereo headphones
("Car Accessories", page 79).
Mobile phones must be
switched off at all times in an
aircraft.
Prevent accidential activation.
Switch off near petrol stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants or
blasting operations.
TVs, radios, PCs, and so on may
be affected by interference.
Do not use magnifying glasses
or the like to view the infrared
port during operation [Class
1LED product (classified accord-
ing to IEC 60825-1)].
The ring tone is reproduced
through the earpiece. First
accept the call, then hold the
phone to your ear.
Caution: The MultiMediaCard
and SIM card can be removed;
small parts could be swallowed
by children.
Please note:
Neither the phone nor the bat-
tery should be opened under
any circumstances.
No modifications may be made
to the phone. Any such modifi-
cations will invalidate its ap-
proval for use.
We recommend you use only
original Siemens batteries and
charging devices. Otherwise
you risk damaging your health
and the product.
The battery cover must not be
removed from the battery.
Dispose of used batteries ac-
cording to statutory require-
ments.
We recommend you use only
original Siemens accessories to
avoid possible damage and en-
sure that the phone complies
with all the relevant regulations.
Improper use will invalidate the warranty.

With the MultiMediaCard™, your

The Card-Explorer is available in the
phone for organising your files (see
p. 67). In combination with a PC, you
can also use the Data Exchange
Software (see p. 70).
Note that the entries on the
MultiMediaCard™are not
automatically linked with the entries
on the SIM card. For example,
entries that you make in the
Addressbook are only stored on the
MultiMediaCard™.
Please, treat the MultiMediaCard™
carefully. Do not bend it or expose it to
static electricity.
