Getting your device ready

Installing the SIM card and battery

Before you can make a phone call using your P535, you need to install a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. A SIM card contains your phone number, subscriber details, phonebook, and additional phone memory.

Your P535 comes with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.

New batteries come partially discharged and should be fully charged before using them. They generally do not reach their rated capacity until they have been charged and discharged at least four (4) times. We recommend that new batteries be charged overnight even though they may indicate that the charge is complete after a few hours. Sometimes charging may stop during the initial charge and it is necessary to remove the battery for approximately

fteen (15) minutes and then put it back on charge.

CAUTION:

Use only an ASUS qualied battery.

To install a SIM card and battery:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

NOTE:

When turned on, the device automatically turns off after you open the battery compartment to prevent data loss.

2. Remove the battery.

3. Insert the SIM card with its gold contacts facing down and the notched corner oriented to the upper left corner of the slot as shown.

4. Replace the battery into the compartment with its copper contacts properly aligned to the copper conductor on the device.

5. Replace battery compartment cover.

Charging the battery

The bundled battery pack is shipped partially charged. Charge the battery up to four (4) hours

before using for the rst time.

To charge battery:

1. Connect the AC adapter plug to the mini-USB connector at the bottom of the device.

2. Connect the AC power plug to a grounded wall socket or power strip.

NOTE:

• The notication LED turns red and charging battery icon appears on the status bar indicating that the battery is

charging.

• If your battery gets totally discharged, you need to recharge it for at least twenty minutes before you can turn it back on.
