Before You Begin
These operating instructions describe the optiPoint 500 economy, optiPoint 500 basic,
optiPoint 500 standard and telephones on your HiPath 500 and HiPath 3000 / 5000.
They describe all functions you can use from your telephone. You may find that some func-
tions you wish to use are not avai l ble on your telephone. This may be due to one of the
following reasons:
• The function has not been configured for your telephone - address any questions to
your service personnel.
• Your communications platform does not supp ort this function - contact your service
personnel to upgrade your system.
Important Notes
CE (customer equipment) does not continue to support emergency dialing after loss of
mains power, if battery back up and power fail switchover to emergency analogue phones
is not available.
Never allow the telephone to come into contact with staining or aggressive liquids such as
coffee, tea, juice, or soft drinks. For information on telephone maintenance Æ Page 117.
The information provided in this document contains merely general descriptions or charac-
teristics of performance which in case of actual use do not always apply as described or
which may change as a result of further development of the products.
An obligation to provide the respective characteristics shall only exist if expressly agreed
in the terms of contract.
Do not operate the telephone in environments where there is a danger
of explosions.
Use only original Siemens accessories Æ Page 114. Using other acces-
sories may cause a hazard and will invalidate the warranty and the CE

lems, contact your service personnel.
