Safety
precautions
Note for parents
Read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain to your children the contents and the hazards associated with using the phone
.
When in a hospital, switch off
your phone. Mobile phones can
interfere with the functioning of
medical devices such as
hearing aids or pacemakers.
Keep at least 20cm/9 inches be-
tween phone and pacemaker.
When using the mobile phone,
hold it to the ear that is farther
away from the pacemaker. For
more information, consult your
doctor.
Always use the handsfree kit
(p. 104) with an external anten-
na for calls while driving! !
Mobile phones must be
switched off at all times in an air-
craft. To prevent accidental acti-
vation, see (p. 72).
Switch off near service stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants or
blasting operations. Mobile
phones can interfere with the
operation of technical installa-
tions.
The ringtone (p. 89), info tones
(p. 89) and handsfree talking
are reproduced through the
loudspeaker. Do not hold the
phone to the ear when it rings or
when you have switched on the
handsfree function (p. 20).
Otherwise, there is a risk of seri-
ous lasting damage to hearing.
The SIM card may be removed.
Caution! Small parts could be
swallowed by children.
The voltage (V) specified on the
power supply unit must not be
exceeded.
Do not view the activated infra-
red interface [Class 1
LED product (classification
under IEC 60825-1)] with
an optical magnifier.
Only use original Siemens bat-
teries (100% mercury-free) and
charging devices. Otherwise,
considerable health risks and
damage to the product cannot
be excluded: the battery could
explode, for instance.
You may only open the phone
to replace the battery (100%
mercury-free) or SIM card. You
must not open the battery under
any circumstances. Any other
changes to this device are
strictly prohibited, as they will
invalidate the type approval cri-
teria required for operation of
the unit.
