Security
Radio waves
Your cellular phone is a radio transmitter/receiver. It transmits and receives radio waves in the GSM frequency. The GSM network controls the power at which the phone transmits (between 0.02 watts and 2 watts).
Your cellular phone complies with all relevant safety standards. The CE mark on your cellular phone means that it is compliant with the European directive on electromagnetic compatibility 89/336/EEC and the low voltage directive 73/23/EEC.
Safety precautions
Careless use of the phone can result in harm to you or others. Please read and follow all the security instructions given here and inquire about local laws and regulations.
Vehicles: check with the manufacturer that electronic equipment used in your vehicle will not be affected by radio energy. Avoid using your phone while driving (it affects your concentration). Respect the local laws and regulations.
Aircraft: switch your phone off when in an aircraft. It is illegal to use your cellular phone when airborne.
Before you start
Hospital: switch your phone off near hospitals or medical equipment. Ask the manufacturer about the radio wave shielding of any electronic medical devices which you may use (pacemakers, hearing aids). Blasting areas: switch your phone off where blasting is in progress (quarries). Flammable atmospheres: switch your phone off in areas with a potentially flammable atmosphere (petrol stations, fuel depots or chemical plants). Safety: use your phone in the normal operating position (to ear). Do not touch the antenna while a call is in progress. Do not use your phone with a damaged antenna (risk of minor skin burn). Children: keep your phone in a safe place, out of reach of small children.
Using your phone efficiently
To improve the performance of your phone and reduce radio energy emission and battery consumption:
Avoid low reception areas (tunnels or between tall buildings). If the shows less than 2 bars, move to another location.
Before you start
Always let your battery discharge completely before recharging it. Do not use any battery chargers other than those specified in the PHILIPS catalog. Using another charger may be dangerous and will invalidate any approval given to the phone. Do not allow metal objects to short circuit the battery contact (such as keys in your pocket). Switch the phone off if you are going to leave it unused for a long time. Store the phone in a clean, dust free place. Keep the phone away from heat. Do not try to disassemble the phone. If it is not working properly, call the PHILIPS Helpline. Keep the phone dry and do not use harsh chemicals (such as solvents or detergents) to clean it. To clean the phone, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with a mildly soapy water solution.
The SIM card
To use your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card supplied by your GSM service provider.
When you switch the phone on, it may ask for the PIN code. The PIN code is the secret code of the SIM card. You cannot use the SIM card without the PIN code.
Before you start
The SIM card contains your subscription number and phone number. It also contains a memory in which you can store phone numbers and messages. If you use your SIM card on another phone, you still retain the same phone number and phone book.
Inserting the SIM card
Remove the battery.
Slide the card into the grooves in the phone (the chip must be facing inwards and towards the bottom of the phone).
The battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. Charge the battery after purchase.
Battery charge is shown by the symbol. Each bar shown represents 25% of charge. If the phone emits a warning signal and the symbol is shown, you should charge the battery.
Before you start
Charge a new battery for at least 24 hours before use.
A battery only reaches its maximum capacity after being totally discharged and recharged 2 or 3 times.
A battery lasts longer if you allow it to fully discharge from time to time.
Clipping on the battery
Hook the battery onto the hinge at the bottom of the phone.
Swing the battery down and click it into place.
Removing the battery
Push the latch at the top of the battery.
Swing the battery up and then lift it off the phone.
Charging the battery
A charger is supplied with the phone.
Clip the battery onto the phone. Plug the connector into the round socket at the base of the phone.
Plug the transformer unit into a mains AC power socket. The symbol indicates the state of the charge process:
Bars moving means the battery is charging.
Steady means the battery is fully charged.
The only way to turn the charger off is to unplug it.
You can switch the phone on and use it during charging.
The charger can be connected to an IT power supply.
If the battery is completely discharged, the battery icon will only appear 2 to 3 minutes after you connect the charger.
Switching on/off
Press to switch your phone on.
Type your PIN code if activated and press OK.
If you enter the wrong PIN code 3 times, your SIM card will be blocked.

DTMF tones
The numeric keys of the phone (0 to 9, * and #) always transmit DTMF tones (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency), also known as "touch tones". DTMF tones are used by certain telephone services such as answering machines, pagers, etc.
Rather than keying in a separate code after each of a series of requests, you can carry out complex operations in one go.
e.g. To reach 'Listen to new messages' in one go
An answering machine has the following characteristics: phone number 12345, password 9876, code 3 to activate the function 'Listen to new messages'.
■ Enter 12345, 12345 is displayed. ■ Press and hold to enter a wait character. 12345w is displayed. ■ Enter 9876, 12345w9876 is displayed. ■ Press and hold to enter a pause character, 12345w9876p is displayed. ■ Enter 3 and press Call, 12345w9876p3 is displayed.
This DTMF sequence can also be stored in the Phone book.
Your phone always interprets the first pause as a wait character (the rest of the digits are not sent until your phone is connected). The second pause is a real pause of 2.5 seconds. To get a longer pause, enter several pause characters.
