Getting started

What is a SIM card?

Every mobile phone has a SIM card
(Subscriber Identity Module). This is a
micro-chip that holds your personal
information such as names and phone
numbers. Your phone won’t work without
it. If you already have contacts on your
SIM card, they can be transferred in most
cases.
Keep the SIM card away from children.
The SIM card can easily be damaged or
bent. You should therefore handle the
SIM card with care during installation
and/or removal.

off and the charger is disconnected
from the phone.

2. Turn the phone over and remove the

battery cover.

11

reaching a fully charge.

complete when finished.
When your phone is power on, the
battery icon flickers when it starting
charging and become still with full
bars in battery icon when finished.

4. The battery is fully charged when the

red LED is off. Disconnect the charger
from the phone and the AC outlet.

pressing the SOS button on the back of
the mobile phone. During the SOS call, a
warning tone sounds so the person that
you rang knows that it is an emergency!
If you cannot get through on the first

38

number, the second number will be called
automatically. If you cannot get through
on the second number, the third number
will be called etc.
If no emergency number is saved or your
phone card has run out, or you are not
allowed under a foreign network (e.g.
Roaming not activated), you can dial 112
or another emergency number on the
numerical keypad.

SOS description:

Press the SOS button on the back of the
mobile phone for 3 seconds. If you want
to stop or cancel the SOS call, press the

SOS button again.

Functionality:

By pressing the SOS button, the phone
will send an SOS SMS person (in case
mobile number or telephones with SMS
function is available for emergency
contact) to the emergency numbers you
have previously saved and will be
automatically dialled in the given
sequence. (The emergency button also
functions when the phone is closed). The
mobile phone switches on the hands free
function at full volume and at the same

39

time, if the SOS call is not answered
within 25 seconds the next number is
dialled etc.

Note:

 If you want to stop or cancel the SOS

call, press the right menu key or SOS

Key.

 As a rule, the international emergency

call 112 can still be called outside of
the regional network of your network
operator.

 When changing a phone card: Always

make sure that there is sufficient
credit on your phone card because
private emergency numbers cannot be
dialled without sufficient credit.

Attention: If the SOS call is forwarded to
the voicemail, the SOS mode will end.
Attention: If you want to save SOS

numbers such as the ambulance service,
the police, fire brigade etc. as an SOS
number, you must gain permission from
each of these institutions beforehand.
There will be no liability for possible costs
arising from calling them by accident.

Battery

 Your phone is powered by a

rechargeable battery.

 Note that a new battery's full

performance is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles! The battery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of
times but it will eventually wear out.

 When the operating time (talk-time

and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, it is time to buy
a new battery. Use only batteries
approved by the phone manufacturer
and recharge your battery only with
the chargers approved by the
manufacturer.

 Unplug the charger when not in use.

Do not leave the battery connected to
a charger for longer than 10 days,
since overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused a fully charged
battery will discharge itself over time.

 Temperature extremes can affect the

ability of your battery to charge.

 Use the battery only for its intended

purpose.

51

 Never use any charger or battery

which is damaged.

 Do not short-circuit the battery.

Accidental short-circuiting can occur
when a metallic object (coin, clip or
pen) causes direct connection of the +
and - terminals of the battery (metal
strips on the battery) for example
when you carry a spare battery in
your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting
the terminals may damage the
battery or the connecting object.

 Leaving the battery in hot or cold

places, such as in a closed car in
summer or winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of the
battery. Always try to keep the
battery between 15°C and 25°C. A
phone with a hot or cold battery may
temporarily not work, even when the
battery is fully charged. Batteries
performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.

 Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
 Dispose of batteries according to local

regulations (e.g. recycling).

 Do not dispose as household waste.
 Do not charge your mobile phone if

the battery is not installed.

52

Phone

Your phone is a product of superior
design and craftsmanship and should be
treated with care.
The suggestions below will help you to
fulfil any warranty obligations and to
enjoy this product for many years.

 Keep the phone and all its parts and

accessories out of the reach of small
children.

 Keep the phone dry. Precipitation,

humidity and all types of liquids or
moisture can contain minerals that
will corrode electronic circuits.

 Do not use or store the phone in

dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts
can be damaged.

 Do not store the phone in hot areas.

High temperatures can shorten the
life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and warp or melt certain
plastics.

 Do not store the phone in cold areas.

When it warms up (to its normal
temperature), moisture can form

53

inside, which may damage electronic
circuit boards.

 Do not attempt to open the phone.

Non-expert handling may damage it.

 Do not drop, knock or shake the

phone. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards.

 Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning

solvents, or strong detergents to
clean the phone. Do not paint the
phone. Paint can clog the moving
parts and prevent proper operation.

 Use only the supplied or an approved

replacement antenna. Unauthorised
antennas, modifications or
attachments could damage the

 phone and may violate regulations

governing radio devices.

All of the above suggestions apply equally
to your phone, battery, charger or any
accessory. If any of them is not working
properly, take it to your nearest qualified
service facility.

For your safety

Read these simple guidelines. Breaking
the rules may be dangerous or illegal.

Do not switch on the phone when
wireless phone use is prohibited or
when it may cause interference or
danger.

Road safety comes first
Do not use a hand-held phone
while driving.

Switch off in aircraft
Wireless devices can cause
interference in aircraft.

Switch off in hospitals
Follow any regulations or rules.
Switch the phone off near medical
equipment.

Switch off when refuelling
Do not use the phone at a
refuelling point. Do not use near
fuel or chemicals.

Interference
All wireless phones may get
interference, which could affect
performance.

55

Traffic Safety:

Do not use a hand-held telephone while
driving a vehicle. Always secure the
phone in its holder; do not place the
phone on the passenger seat or where it
can break loose in a collision or sudden
stop. Remember road safety always
comes first!

Operating environment:

Remember to follow any special
regulations in force in any area and
always switch off your phone whenever it
is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger.
Use the phone only in its normal
operating positions.
Parts of the phone are magnetic. Metallic
materials may be attracted to the phone,
and persons with a hearing aid should not
hold the phone to the ear with the
hearing aid. Always secure the phone in
its holder, because metallic materials
may be attracted by the earpiece.
Do not place credit cards or other
magnetic storage media near the phone,
because information stored on them may
be erased.

56

Electronic devices:

Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers:

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend
that a minimum separation of 20 cm (6
inches) be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers:

 Should always keep the phone more

than 20 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is
switched on.

 Should not carry the phone in a

breast pocket.

 Should use the ear opposite the

pacemaker to minimise the potential
for interference.

57

 If you have any reason to suspect

that interference is taking place,
switch off your phone immediately.

Hearing aids:

Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want
to consult your network operator.

Other medical devices:

Operation of any radio transmitting
equipment, including cellular phones,
may interfere with the functionality of
inadequately protected medical devices.
Consult a physician or the manufacturer
of the medical device to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF
energy or if you have any questions.
Switch off your phone in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive
to external RF energy.

Posted facilities:

Switch your phone off in any facility
where posted notices so require.

58

Potentially explosive atmospheres:
Switch off your phone when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone
when at a refuelling point (service
station). Users are reminded of the need
to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage
and distribution areas), chemical plants
or where blasting operations are in
progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include below deck
on boats; chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane); areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust
or metal powders; and any other area
where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.

Vehicles:

59

RF signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles (e.g. electronic
fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid
(anti-lock) braking systems, electronic
speed control systems, air bag systems).
Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer
of any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
