Important information

Trademarks

Never open the telephone or a key module. Should you en-

counter any problems, contact your service personnel.

Use only original Siemens accessories. The use of other

accessories may be hazardous and will render the warranty

and the CE marking invalid.

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 environ-

ment and human health. It is a prerequisite for reuse and

recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.

For more detailed information about disposal of your old

appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal

service, 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 elec-

tronic equipment.

Location of the telephone

• The telephone should be operated in a controlled environment with an

ambient temperature between 5°C and 40°C.

• 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

bathrooms.

About this manual

This document contains general descriptions of the technical options,

which may not always be available in individual cases. The respective fea-

tures must therefore be individually defined in the terms of the contract.

If a particular function on your phone is not available to you, this may be

due to one of the following reasons:

• The function is not configured for you or your telephone. Please con-

tact your system support representative.

• Your communications platform does not feature this function. Please

contact your Siemens sales partner for information on how to upgrade.

This user guide is intended to help you familiarize yourself with OpenStage

and all of its functions. It contains important information on the safe and

proper operation of your OpenStage phone. These instructions should be

strictly complied with to avoid operating errors and ensure optimum use of

your multifunctional telephone in the network.

These instructions should be read and followed by every person installing,

operating or programming an OpenStage phone.

This user guide is designed to be simple and easy to understand, providing

clear step-by-step instructions for operating your OpenStage phone.

Administrative tasks are dealt with in a separate manual. The Quick Refer-

ence Guide contains quick and reliable explanations of frequently used

functions.

Service

vice number for your country.

For your own protection, please read the section dealing with safety

dangering yourself or other persons and to prevent damage to the

unit.

ence problems or defects with the phone.
