Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain the content to your children and the hazards associated with using the phone.
Remember to comply with le-
gal requirements and local re-
strictions when using the
phone. For example, in aero-
planes, petrol stations, hospi-
tals or while driving.
Mobile phones can interfere
with the functioning of medical
devices such as hearing aids
or pacemakers. Keep at least
20cm/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 infor-
mation consult your doctor.
Tones, music 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. Otherwise you risk
serious permanent damage
to your hearing.
Only use original batteries
(100% mercury-free) and
-charging devices. Otherwise
you risk serious damage to
health and property. The
battery could explode, for
instance.
Small parts such as the SIM
card, sealing stop, lens ring
and lens cap as well as the
Micro SD Card can be disman-
tled and swallowed by small
children. The phone must
therefore be stored out of the
reach of small children.
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use ear- or head-
phones at high volume.You
can adapt over time to a higher
volume, which may sound nor-
mal but can be damaging to
your hearing. Set your volume
to a safe level. If you experi-
ence ringing in your ears, re-
duce the volume or discontinue
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 accessi-
ble AC mains power socket
when charging the battery. The
only way to turn off the charg-
ing device after charging the
battery is to unplug it.

The phone may cause interfer-
ence in the vicinity of TV sets,
radios and PCs.
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy
disks. Information stored on
them could be lost.
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 func-
tions, they can be used in positions other
than the head, such as on the body. In this
case, separation distance of 1.0 cm is
required.

Safety precautions
You may only open the phone
to replace the battery (100 %
mercury-free), SIM and Micro
SD Card. You must not open
the battery under any circum-
stances. All other changes to
this device are strictly prohibit-
ed and will invalidate the
guarantee.
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 local
authorities.
This crossed-out wheeled bin
symbol on the product means
the product is covered by the
European Directive
2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and sepa-
rate collection of your old appli-
ance will help prevent potential
negative consequences for the
environment and human
health. It is a precondition for
reuse and recycling of used
electrical and electronic
equipment.
For more detailed information
about disposal of your old ap-
pliance, please contact your
city office, waste disposal serv-
ice or the shop where you pur-
chased the product.

Bluetooth®
Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This
makes it possible to establish a wireless
connection of your phone with a headset
of a car kit, or with other Bluetooth-enabled
devices.
In order to establish a secure link between
the devices and to prevent a third party from
having access to your phone, you should
observe the following points:
• The initial connection between two devic-
es, what is called "pairing", should take
place in familiar surroundings.
• Both devices must be able to identify
themselves one time by using a pass-
word/PIN. To ensure sufficient security,
you should choose a 16-digit number com-
bination for a password that would be diffi-
cult to guess (if a PIN has not been
assigned).
• An automatic connection acceptance
("connection 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, deactivate visibility in the
Bluetooth menu (page 109).
• The name of your phone is transmitted in a
Bluetooth connection. The factory default
is the "Bluetooth ID". The first time Blue-
tooth is activated, or later in the Bluetooth
menu, you can change this name
(Bluetooth name, page 110).
• If Bluetooth is not needed, this function
should be deactivated.
