Siemens has warned of a bug in the software of the 65 series range of mobile phones, which could cause users harm to their hearing. The models on hand are the C65, CX65, M65, S65, SL65, and other network provider variants CV65, CT65, CXV65 and CXT65.
Because of the software error, if a telephone call is automatically cut off because the battery has run down, the disconnection melody could possibly start to play loudly. In extreme cases, this volume could lead to hearing damage. However, this danger can only arise if the mobile phone is held up directly to the ear while the melody is playing. In order to rule out any danger of damage to health, however, Siemens recommends deactivating the disconnection melody or the disconnection animation function…
In addition, the phone call should be terminated as soon as the first “low battery” warning signal comes. To deactivate the disconnection melody, the user must first select the “Setup” item in the menu, then “Ringtones,” afterwards “More melodies,” and then the “Shutdown melody” can be deactivated by selecting “Switch off".
