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, hospi-

tals or whilst driving.

Mobile phones can interfere with the

functioning of medical devices such

as hearing aids or pacemakers.

Keep a distance of at least 20cm/

9 inches between the phone and

pacemaker. Whilst using the mobile

phone, hold it to the ear furthest

away from the pacemaker. For more

information consult your doctor.

Tones, music 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. Otherwise you risk serious

permanent damage to your hearing.

Only use original batteries (100 %

mercury-free) and – charging devic-

es. Otherwise you risk serious dam-

age to health and property. For

instance, the battery may explode.

Small parts such as the SIM card,

dust cap, 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.

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.

Do not look at the LED (e.g. activat-

ed infrared port, flash LED) with opti-

cal magnifiers because of radiation.

This product complies with IEC/EN

60825-1 “Safety of Laser Products”

for LED Class 1M products; such

products are safe under reasonably

foreseeable operating conditions.

Permanent hearing loss may occur if

you use ear- or headphones at high

volume.You can adapt over time to a

higher volume, which may sound

normal but can be damaging to your

hearing. Set your volume to a safe

level. If you experience ringing in

your ears, reduce the volume or dis-

continue use of your system.

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.

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 circumstanc-

es. All other changes to this device

are strictly prohibited and will invali-

date the guarantee.

Template: DTC, 143x105,VAR Language: en; VAR issue date: 060222

Bluetooth

Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This makes

it possible to establish a wireless connection with

your phone and a headset of a car kit, or other

Bluetooth-enabled devices.

In order to establish a secure link between the de-

vices and to prevent a third party from having ac-

cess to your phone, you should observe the

following points:

• The initial connection between two devices,

what is called "pairing", should take place in fa-

miliar surroundings.

• Both devices must be able to identify them-

selves one time by using a password/PIN. To

ensure sufficient security, you should choose a

16-digit number combination for a password

that would be difficult to guess (if a PIN has not

been assigned).

• An automatic connection acceptance ("connec-

tion without confirmation") should only be used

in exceptional cases.

• In general, only trustworthy devices should be

linked in order to minimize security risks.

• You should restrict the "visibility" of your phone

if possible. This will make it much more difficult

for unknown devices to establish a connection

with your phone. To do this, in the Bluetooth

menu, set the option Visib.to others to Always

visible to Not visible.

• The name of your phone is transmitted in

a Bluetooth connection. The factory default is

the "Bluetooth ID". The first time Bluetooth is

activated, or later in the Bluetooth menu, you

can change this name (My BT name).

• If Bluetooth is not needed, this function should

be deactivated.

Before using Bluetooth accessories, or a mobile

phone inside a vehicle, check the vehicle user

guide for any limitations on the use of these

products.

All electrical and electronic products

should be disposed of separately

from the municipal waste stream via

designated collection facilities ap-

pointed by the government or the lo-

cal authorities.

This crossed-out wheelie bin symbol

on the product means the product is

covered by the European Directive

2002/96/EC.

The correct disposal and separate

collection of your old appliance will

help prevent potential negative con-

sequences for the environment and

human health. It is a precondition for

re-use and recycling of used electri-

cal and electronic equipment.

For more detailed information about

disposal of your old appliance,

please contact your local council,

waste disposal service or the shop

where you purchased the product.

The phone may cause interference

in the vicinity of TV sets, radios and

PCs.

Use only original accessories. This

will avoid potential risks to health or

property and ensure compliance

with all relevant regulations.

Improper use will invalidate the guarantee!

These safety instructions also apply to original

accessories.

As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they

can be used in positions other than the head,

such as on the body. In this case, separation dis-

tance of 1.5 cm is required.

Template: DTC, 143x105,VAR Language: en; VAR issue date: 060529

Getting started

Inserting battery/SIM card/

MicroSD card

The service provider supplies you with a

SIM card on which all the important data

for your line is stored. If the SIM card has

been delivered in credit-card size, snap

the smaller segment out and remove any

rough edges. Please follow the instruc-

tions in the diagrams when inserting SIM

card, MicroSD card (optional) and battery.

Insert SIM card

Ensure that the cut-off corner is in the

correct position.

Insert MicroSD card (optional)

Insert battery

Close battery cover

• To remove the battery cover, press the

release button

, then lift the battery

cover.

Your phone's display is

covered with a protective

film. Remove this before

using the phone.

In rare cases static dis-

charge can cause tempo-

rary discolouration in the

display. However, this will

disappear within approx.

10 minutes.

Additional information

Please switch off your phone before removing the

battery! Do not remove the SIM card as long as

the battery is inserted. If the battery is removed

for longer than 30 seconds, the clock must be

reset.

Getting started

Template: DTC, 143x105,VAR Language: en; VAR issue date: 060529

Charging the battery

The battery is not

fully charged when

delivered. Plug the

charger cable into

the side of the

phone, plug the

power supply unit into a mains power

socket and charge for at least two hours

(for charging via USB, see p. 18). Do not

interrupt the charging procedure

prematurely.

Display when charging is in

progress.

Charging time

An empty battery is fully charged after

about 2 hours. Charging is only possible

within a temperature range of +5 °C to

+45 °C. If the temperature rises/falls 5 °C

above/below this, the charge symbol

flashes a warning. The mains voltage

specified on the power supply unit must

not be exceeded.

Operating time

The operating time depends upon the re-

spective conditions of use. Extreme tem-

peratures considerably reduce the

phone’s standby time. You should there-

fore avoid leaving the phone in the sun

or on a radiator.

Talktime: up to 250 minutes

Standby time: up to 280 hours

Charge icon not visible

If the battery has been discharged fully,

the charge icon is not immediately visible

when the power supply is plugged in.

It will appear after up to two hours. In

this case the battery is fully charged after

3 to 4 hours.

Only use the plug-in power supply unit

included in delivery!

Display during operation

Charge level display during operation

(empty–full):

A beep sounds when the battery is nearly

empty. The charge level of the battery is

only displayed correctly after an uninter-

rupted charging/discharging cycle. You

should therefore not remove the battery un-

necessarily and where possible not termi-

nate the charging process before completion.

Switching on/off

Press and hold the On/Off/End

key. Press briefly to open the

"Switch off menu".

Entering the PIN

The SIM card can be protected with

a4to8-digit PIN.

Open slider. Enter the PIN using

the number keys. The characters

****

appear in the display to en-

sure nobody can read your PIN.
