3.1 SIM Card

Before using the phone, please insert a valid SIM card into the phone. The SIM

card is your key to enter the digital GSM network.

All information relating to network connection is recorded in chips on the SIM

card, together with your phonebook (names and numbers) and SMS stored in the

SIM card. You can remove the SIM card from your phone and put it into any other

GSM phone to use (it can automatically read your SIM card).

In order to protect information stored in the SIM card, do not touch its metal

contacts, and keep it away from places with electric or magnetic fields. Once the

SIM card is damaged, you cannot log on the GSM network.

Warning：Before taking out the SIM card, make sure your phone is powered off. It

is strictly prohibited to insert or remove the SIM card when your phone is

connected to an external power supply; otherwise the SIM card and the phone

10

carefully.

Power off your phone, and remove any other external power supply.
Insert the SIM card into the SIM card slot as follows.

3.2 Unlock the SIM Card

For the purpose of preventing unauthorized use, your SIM card adopts PIN1

(personal identification number) code for encryption protection. When this

feature is enabled, you must input the PIN1 code each time the phone is powered

on, so that you can unlock the SIM card and start using your phone. You can also

disable the SIM card password (refer to “Security Setting”), when you cannot

prevent unauthorized use.

Input the PIN1 code, if any, and use the Right Soft Key to remove wrong input,

and press OK to confirm. For example, if the PIN1 is set as 1122, then input as

follows: 1122,

If you input the PIN code wrongly for three times successively, your SIM card will

be locked by the network, then your phone will ask for the PUK1 code. If you do

not know the PUK1 code, do not input it by yourself, but resort to your network

operator. Please refer to “Security Setting”.

Note: Your network provider has provided a standard PIN1 code (4~8 digits) for

your SIM card. Please modify it as soon as possible. For detailed operation, please

refer to “Security Setting”.
