Care and maintenance

Your phone has been designed and manufactured to the highest of standards and should be treated with great care. The suggestions below will help you to enjoy your phone for many years.

•Protect your phone from moisture and hu- midity. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode elec- tronic circuits. Nevertheless, should your phone become wet, disconnect it immedi- ately from the power supply to avoid elec- tric shock. Do not place your phone (even to dry it) on/in a source of heat such as a microwave oven, oven or radiator. The phone may become overheated and possibly explode.

•Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts may be damaged and the casing may become deformed and discoloured.

•Do not store your phone in hot environ- ments (e.g. vehicle instrument panel in the summer). High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt cer- tain plastics.

•Do not store your phone in cold environ- ments. When the phone warms up again (to its normal ambient temperature), moisture can form inside the phone, which may damage electronic circuit boards.

•Do not drop, knock or shake your phone. Rough handling can damage internal cir- cuit boards!

•Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the phone!

The suggestions given above apply equally to your phone, battery, charger and all ac- cessories. If any of these parts is not working properly, obtain fast and reliable help at our service centres.

Battery quality statement

The capacity of your mobile phone battery will reduce each time it is charged/emptied. Storage at too high or low temperatures will also result in a graduly capacity loss. As

a result the operating time of your mobile phone may be considerably reduced, evan after a rull recharge of the battery.

Regardless of this, the battery has been designed and manufactured so that it can be recharged and used for six months after the purchase of your mobile phone. After six months, if the battery is clearly suffering from loss of performance, we recommend that your replace it. Please buy only Siemens original batteries.

Display quality declaration

For technological reasons, a few small dots with different colours may appear in the display in exceptional cases.

Just remember that the appearance of brighter or darker dots generally does not mean that a fault has occurred.
