Mobile phones can interfere with the function of these devices. A minimum distance of 20 cm between pacemaker and mobile phone should be kept. When using the mobile phone hold it to the ear which is further removed from the pacemaker. Always use the handsfree kit for calls while driving (p. 91). Mobile phones must be switched off at all times in an aircraft. To prevent accidental activation, see (p. 53). Switch off near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations. Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of technical installations. The ring tone and handsfree talking are reproduced via the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to the ear when it rings or when you have activated the handsfree function. Otherwise you risk serious, lasting damage to hearing. SIM card may be removed. Caution! Small parts could be swallowed by children. 3 The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit must not be exceeded. We recommend you use only original Siemens batteries (100% mercury-free) and charging devices. Otherwise considerable health risks and damage to the product cannot be excluded. Neither the phone nor the battery (100% mercury-free) may be opened under any circumstances (except when exchanging the battery, SIM card or top shell). Any other changes to this device are strictly prohibited, as they will invalidate the approval criteria required for operation of the unit. Please note: Dispose of used batteries and phones according to the legal regulations. Mobile phones can interfere with the operation of nearby TVs, radios or PCs. We recommend you use only original Siemens accessories to avoid possible damage and to comply with the existing regulations. Improper use invalidates the warranty! 4 of Loudspeaker e Display indicators Signal strength/ GPRS available/ battery level.
