For safety reasons, the telephone should only be supplied
with power:
• using the original power supply unit.
Part number: L30250-F600-C14x (x: 1=EU, 2=US,
3=UK) or
• in a LAN with PoE (Power over Ethernet), which com-
plies with the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Use only original Siemens accessories. The use of other ac-
cessories may be hazardous and will render the warranty
and the CE marking invalid.
Never open the telephone or a key module. Should you en-
counter any problems, contact your service personnel.
The device conforms to the EU directive 1999/5/EC as at-
tested by the CE marking.
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of
separately from the municipal waste stream via designated
collection facilities appointed by the government or the lo-
cal authorities.
Proper disposal and separate collection of your old appli-
ance will help prevent potential damage to the environment
and human health. It is a prerequisite for reuse and recy-
cling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For more detailed information about disposal of your old ap-
pliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal ser-
vice, the shop where you purchased the product or your
sales representative.
The statements quoted above are only fully valid for equip-
ment which is installed and sold in the countries of the Eu-
ropean Union and is covered by the directive 2002/96/EC.
Countries outside the European Union may impose other
regulations regarding the disposal of electrical and electron-
ic equipment.

Location of the telephone
• The telephone should be operated in a controlled environment with an
ambient temperature between 5•C and 40•C.
• To ensure good speakerphone quality, the area in front of the micro-
phone (front right) should be kept clear. The optimum speakerphone
distance is 50 cm.
• Do not install the telephone in a room where large quantities of dust
accumulate; this can considerably reduce the service life of the tele-
phone.
• Do not expose the telephone to direct sunlight or any other source of
heat, as this is liable to damage the electronic components and the
plastic casing.
• Do not operate the telephone in damp environments such as bath-
rooms.

nection option must first be activated on the telephone by service person-
nel.

and requires fewer or shorter network cables when arranged correctly.
