Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance
Your phone has been designed and manu-
factured to the highest of standards and
should be treated with great care. The sug-
gestions below will help you enjoy your
phone for many years.
• Protect your phone from moisture and hu-
midity! Precipitation, humidity and liquids
contain minerals that will corrode electron-
ic circuits. Should your phone nonetheless
become wet, disconnect it immediately
from any power supply, remove the battery
and leave the open phone to dry at room
temperature!
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty,
dirty areas. Its moving parts may become
damaged.
• Do not store your phone in hot areas. High
temperatures can shorten the life of elec-
tronic devices, damage batteries and warp
or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store your phone in cold areas.
When the phone warms up again (to its
normal ambient temperature), moisture
can form inside the phone, which may
damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not drop, knock or shake your phone.
Rough handling can damage internal cir-
cuit boards!
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning sol-
vents, or strong detergents to clean the
phone!
The suggestions given above apply equally
to your phone, battery, charger and all ac-
cessories. If any of these parts are not work-
ing properly, take them to your nearest
qualified service outlet. The personnel there
will assist you and, if necessary, repair the
device.
Battery quality
declaration
The capacity of your mobile phone battery
will reduce each time it is charged/dis-
charged. Storing the battery at temperatures
that are too high or too low also causes a
gradual loss of capacity. As a result the oper-
ating time of your mobile phone may be con-
siderably reduced, even after the battery has
been fully charged.
The battery is, however, designed to be ca-
pable of being charged and discharged for a
period of six months from the date when the
phone was purchased. Following this six-
month period, we recommend replacing your
battery if you experience a significant drop in
performance. Please buy only Siemens orig-
inal batteries.
Display quality
declaration
For technological reasons, a few small dots
with different colours may appear in the dis-
play in exceptional cases.
Please note that the appearance of brighter
or darker dots generally does not mean that
a fault has occurred.
