Explain the content and the hazards associated with using the phone to your children. Remember to comply with legal requirements and local restrictions when using the phone. For example in aeroplanes, petrol stations, hospitals or while driving. Mobile phones can interfere with the functioning of medical devices such as hearing aids or pacemakers. 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. 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 ringtone (p. 23), info tones (p. 23) and handsfree talking are reproduced through the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to your ear when it rings or when you have switched on the handsfree function (p. 10). Otherwise you risk serious permanent damage to your hearing. Important: Please dispose of unwanted batteries and phones as permitted by the laws in your country. The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets, radios and PCs. Use only Siemens original accessories. This will avoid potential risks to health or property and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations. Improper use will invalidate the guarantee! Only use original Siemens batteries (100 % mercury-free) and ­ charging devices. Otherwise you risk serious damage to health and property. The battery could explode, for instance. You may only open the phone to replace the battery (100 % mercuryfree), faceplate, keypad or SIM card. You must not open the battery under any circumstances. All other changes to this device are strictly prohibited and will invalidate the guarantee.
