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 re-
quirements and local restrictions
when using the phone. For example
in aeroplanes, petrol stations, hos-
pitals or while driving.
Mobile phones can interfere with
the functioning of medical devices
such as hearing aids or pacemak-
ers. 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
information consult your doctor.
The ringtones (p. 17), message to-
nes (p. 17) 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 handsfree
function (p. 12). Otherwise you risk
serious permanent damage to your
hearing.
Only use original Siemens batteries
(100 % mercury-free) and – charg-
ing devices. Otherwise you risk seri-
ous damage to health and property.
The battery could explode, for in-
stance.
Small parts such as the SIM card,
sealing stop, lens ring and lens cap
can be dismantled 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 destroyed.
The power supply must be plugged
into an easily accessible AC mains
power socket when charging the
battery. The only way to turn off the
charging device after charging the
battery is to unplug it.
Do not use a handheld while
driving.
Do not place the phone near to elec-
tromagnetic data carriers such as
credit cards and floppy disks. Infor-
mation stored on them could be lost.
You may only open the phone to re-
place the battery (100 % mercury-
free) or SIM card. You must not
open the battery under any circum-
stances. All other changes to this
device are strictly prohibited and will
invalidate the guarantee.
