(100% mercury-free) and charg-

ing devices. Otherwise consider-

able 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 type approval crite-

ria required for operation of the

unit.

Always use the handsfree kit for

calls while driving (p. 69).

Mobile phones must be switched

off at all times in an aircraft.

To prevent accidental activation,

see (p. 52).

Please note

Switch off near petrol stations,

fuel depots, chemical plants or

blasting operations.

Mobile phones can interfere with

the operation of technical instal-

lations.

Dispose of used batteries and

phones according to the legal

regulations.

Mobile phones can interfere with

the operation of nearby TVs,

radios, PCs.

The ring tone is reproduced

through the earpiece. To avoid

damage to hearing, first accept

the call, then hold the phone to

the ear.

We recommend you use only

original Siemens accessories to

avoid possible damage and to

comply with the existing regula-

tions.

SIM card may be removed.

Caution! Small parts could be

swallowed by children.

Improper use invalidates the warranty!

The mains voltage specified on

the power supply unit must not be

exceeded.

changed in a matter of seconds - no tools required. Please switch the phone

off first:

To attach

To remove

Your phone's display and the display cover of the upper shell are delivered with a protective

film. Remove this film before getting started.

In rare cases the static charge created by removing this film may cause discolouration at the

edges of the display. However, this will disappear within 10 minutes.

Getting Started

• Insert SIM card in the opening

(contacts pointing downwards)

and push gently until it engages

(make sure the angled corner is in

the correct position r).

Insert SIM card/battery

The service provider supplies you

with a SIM card on which all the im-

portant data for your line is stored.

If the SIM card has been delivered in

credit card size, snap the smaller

segment out and remove any rough

edges.

• Press grooved area n, then lift

cover o.

• Insert battery into the phone side-

ways , then press downwards

t, until it engages.

• Press latch in the direction indicat-

ed by the arrow p, Lift battery at

the cutout on the side of the

phone q, then tilt upwards and re-

move.

• Replace cover and press down-

wards until it engages.

Only 3-Volt SIM cards are supported. Older

SIM cards (5-Volt technology) cannot be

used. Please contact your service provider,

if you have an older card.

Getting Started

Charging

Charge battery

The charger heats up when used for long

periods. This is normal and not dangerous.

The battery is not fully charged when

delivered, so:

e ^W^Enhd^e^onf^c^chhaa^r^r^g^gⁱⁿⁱⁿ^g^g^{i.s in progress.}

• Plug in charger cable at the bot-

tom of the phone, plug in the plug-

in power supply unit to the mains

power socket and charge for at

least two hours.

An empty battery is fully charged after about

2 hours. Charging is only possible in an am-

bient temperature of 5 °C to 40 °C (the

charge icon flashes as a warning when the

temperature is 5 °C above/below this

range). The voltage specified on the power

supply must not be exceeded.

If the battery is totally discharged no charge

icon is displayed at the beginning of the

charging process.

If this is the case leave the charger cable

plugged in, the charge icon will appear after

a maximum of 2 hours. The battery is then

automatically charged.

Operating times

A fully charged battery provides 60-250

hours of standby time or 100-300 minutes

of talk time. The operating times are aver-

age values and depend on the operating

conditions (see table below).

• Push the sides of the charger ca-

ble plug together and pull to re-

move it.

Getting Started

Quality declaration for battery

The capacity of your mobile phone battery

reduces each time you charge/discharge it.

Storing the battery at temperatures that are

too high or too low also causes a gradual

loss of capacity. This can cause the

operating times of your mobile phone to

reduce significantly per usage cycle.

The battery is, however, designed to be

charged and fully discharged within a

period of six months from when the mobile

phone was purchased. Following this six-

month period we recommend replacing

your battery if you experience a significant

drop in performance. Please purchase only

Siemens original batteries.

Personalisation

The A50 offers you numerous op-

tions for personalisation, i.e. individ-

ual configuration to suit your own

specific tastes. For example you can

have operator graphics as bitmaps *

or screensavers sent via SMS to your

mobile phone. SMS can also be used

to send sounds as ring tones to your

A50.

In addition you can choose another

colour for the top or bottom cover or

even use a personal photo in JPEG

format to make your A50 unique.

To make it easier for you to do this,

you can choose one of a number of

templates that best suits your re-

quirements. Naturally you can also

create the front and back of your mo-

bile telephone entirely as you wish.

The Siemens City Portal offers nu-

merous ring tones, screensavers and

operator bitmaps*.

If you want to load another dictionary

(T9 language version) to make it eas-

ier to write SMS messages in anoth-

er language, you will find a large

choice of dictionaries for download-

ing via the internet as well as the rel-

evant installation notes at:

You will find the City Portal in the

Internet under:

countries where this service is avail-

able.

* An operator bitmap is a graphic

which can be loaded into the display

of the mobile telephone in place of

the network operator designation

and will appear there permanently.

This graphic is however linked to the

network of the operator concerned

and is not usually displayed during

roaming (e.g. when you are logged

on abroad to the network of another

provider).

closer you are to a base station an-

tenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for

sale to the public, compliance with

the European R&TTE directive must

be shown. This directive includes as

one essential requirement the pro-

tection of the health and the safety

for the user and any other person.

The highest SAR value for this model

phone A50 when tested for compli-

ance against the standard was

0.98 W/kg. While there may be dif-

ferences between the SAR levels of

various phones and at various posi-

tions, they all meet the EU require-

ments for RF exposure.

Your mobile phone A50 is a radio

transmitter and receiver. It is de-

signed and manufactured not to ex-

ceed the limits for exposure to radio

frequency (RF) energy recommend-

ed by The Council of the European

Union. These limits are part of com-

prehensive guidelines and establish

permitted levels of RF energy for the

general population. The guidelines

were developed by independent sci-

entific organisations through period-

ic and thorough evaluation of scien-

tific studies. The limits include a

substantial safety margin designed

to assure the safety of all persons,

regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for mobile

phones employs a unit of measure-

ment known as the Specific Absorp-

tion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit rec-

ommended by The Council of the

European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests

for SAR have been conducted using

standard operating positions with

the phone transmitting at its highest

certified power level in all tested fre-

quency bands. Although the SAR is

determined at the highest certified

power level, the actual SAR level of

the phone while operating can be

well below the maximum value. This

is because the phone is designed to

operate at multiple power levels so

as to use only the power required to

reach the network. In general, the

The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the

public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged

over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorpo-

rates a substantial margin of safety to give

additional protection for the public and to ac-

count for any variations in measurements.

SAR values may vary dependingonnational

reporting requirements and the network

band. For SAR information in other regions
