Insert rechargeable battery

When changing the battery, your phone should
always be switched off. The on/off key is the
red function key on your phone.

Insert Remove

Charge the battery

The battery supplied with this telephone is
completely discharged. The telephone will
initiate charging as soon as you have inserted
the charger plug in the bottom of the tele­phone. It takes 1.5 to 6.5 hours for the battery
to become fully charged, depending on the size
of the battery.

To obtain optimum battery performance in
daily use, wait until the battery is completely
discharged, before recharging to full capacity. It
is possible to use your phone while charging.

During charging, the battery symbols will flash
on and off from the bottom of the display and
up. It might, however, take about 5 minutes
before you can see these symbols in your
display (depending on the age of the battery).

When the battery is fully charged, all 4
symbols will be permanently displayed as long
as the phone is switched on. When your battery
needs recharging, the phone will emit a short
warning tone.

When you charge the battery, it should al­ways be fully charged in order to read out the
battery capacity accurately.

Insert SIM card

Before you can make a call on your mobile
phone you have to insert the SIM card. Please
make sure that any plastic remains from the
frame punching have been removed.

1

Switch off your phone and remove the
battery if attached to the phone.

Open the SIM card holder by sliding it to

2

the left and lifting it.

3

Place the SIM card in the small depression
on the phone.

4

Press down the SIM card holder and slide it
to the right.

The telephone will now start searching for your
home network. When connection is success­fully established, the name of your network
operator will be displayed.

This telephone is designed for use in GSM
900 and GSM 1800 networks. Handover
between the two types of network takes place
automatically and seamlessly.

Tip

Read the following two pages to get to know
your phone

Getting to know your phone

Getting to know
your phone

Earphone

Display texts

Function keys

Microphone

The function keys have different functions ac­cording to whether you are in standby or con­versation mode. The display text above the key
will inform you of the actual function of the key
at any time.

Four main functions

To get full benefit of your phone, remember the
following four main functions, three of which
you can enter when you have turned on your
phone and entered the pin code (if any), i.e.
when you are in standby mode:

Phone book – Press

Use this main function to store entries in your
phone book or to access your phone book, when
you want to find a stored name and number.

List menu – Press

This is a menu where you can get information
about the different kinds of calls and messages you
have sent and received. You can also edit your
phone book and find extra phone books, if any.

Setup menu – Press

In this menu you have the possibility of setting
your phone according to your own personal wishes
and needs, such as selecting new ringing tones.

The fourth main function can only be entered
while you are having a conversation, i.e. when
you are in conversation mode:

Conversation menu – Press

This menu offers different kinds of possibilities
such as putting a call on hold or joining more
calls.

Tip

When you go through this user guide, you
will see that there is a chapter for each of
these four main functions

Within a main function

This is how your function keys work when you
have entered one of the main functions:

• Press and to scroll through the

menus to see your options;

• press to select and accept options; and

• press to exit the choice you have made

or to clear digits or characters that you have
entered.

Take notice of the display texts when you use
your phone. In this user guide, references will
be made to the display text instead of to the
keys and .

Dynamic menus

It is important to note that the menus are dyna­mic. This means that your phone does not al­ways give you all the options listed in this user
guide. This is because the option is only listed –
if you really have the option. For instance you
cannot select the list of missed calls if there are
no missed calls.

SIM card limitations

Another important issue is your SIM card. In
this user guide you can see the full capability of
your phone, but the presence of some of the
features depends on your network operator
and/or your SIM card. Where a feature relates
to the network, you will see this symbol in
the user guide.

Please contact your network operator for
further details.

Care of your phone

Do not try to open the phone as this might
damage vital parts. The phone contains no
components which can be repaired by the user.
Any repair requires expertise and should be
carried out only by an authorised service
centre.

To clean your phone, wipe over with a soft
cloth. Do not use alcohol or other solvents as
these will harm your phone.

Do not use your mobile phone in high
humidity environments or where the tempera­ture falls below -10 ˚ or exceeds +55˚ C.

Accessories

The use of other types of chargers, batteries or
any accessories other than those recommended
for use with this telephone will invalidate any
approval given to this apparatus as well as the
manufacturer’s warranty on the telephone.

Batteries

Never dispose of old batteries in your house­hold refuse. Return them to the place of pur­chase or take them to a recycling centre so that
they may be disposed of in an environmentally
friendly manner.

Phone book

Phone book

You can store names and telephone numbers in
your phone book. The entries are stored on the
SIM card, and the number of entries as well as
the length of a name or a telephone number
depend on the capacity of the SIM card.

There are several characters available on
each key, as shown in the table below. Press
once to get the first character, twice to get the
second character, and so on. When you need a
space between two characters, press .

Holding down one of the keys for one second
will give you the option of lower case. Just

How to store a name
and a telephone number

1

Enter the phone number.

2

Press

3

Enter name and press

The telephone will suggest that the
name/number should be stored under the first
vacant location number.

4

Press »OK« to accept the suggested number

»OK«.

or

Press

»CLEAR« and enter a location

number of your own choice (up to 3 digits).

Store frequently used numbers in location
numbers 1 to 9 so that you can speed dial them
by pressing only one key. (Speed dialling is an
option of the Setup menu, see page 26).

If you choose a location number that is occu­pied, the phone will give you the option of
overwriting the existing entry. If you do not
want to overwrite the existing entry, press
»EXIT« and the location number suggested
will be visible again.

If you have a voice mail number stored in
your phone book this should be stored under
location 1. On some networks this has already
been done by the operator.

If you enter the phone number with the help of
"+" followed by the national code you can use
your phone book abroad without having to
think about international codes.

Prefix telephone numbers

Prefix phone numbers are used by e.g.
companies, and are built up in the way that the
first digits of the number are the prefix (the
same for everybody), and the last digit(s) is/are
related to the specific person or office you want
to call. If you make frequent calls to different
persons or offices in e.g. a company with a
prefix telephone number, you might want to
store only the prefix part of the telephone
number in your phone book, giving you the
possibility of adding the additional digits to the
number when you make the call.

This is done in exactly the same way as you
store a normal phone number in your phone
book. Only, instead of each of the additional
digits that varies from time to time, you enter a
»W«. This is done by holding down the -key
for approx. 2 seconds.

Phone numbers with extension number

In some places, extension numbers are used.
Extension numbers work in the way that you
dial a full phone number, and then, after a
pause, you dial the extension number.

If you want to store a phone number with an
extension number in your phone book, you
have to enter a pause between the main
number and the extension number. This is
done by pressing the -key for one second
until the pause code »P« appears on the display.

Who is calling?

Calling Line Identification (CLI) is a network
feature whereby the phone numbers of callers
to your phone are shown on your phone's
display. If your caller is one of the entries that
you have stored in your phone book, then his
name will appear on your display.

How to find an entry in your
phone book

1

Enter the phone book:

Scroll through the phone book: and

2

3

Call the number: Press

If you have stored many numbers in your
phone book, it might be easier for you to find
an entry by entering one or more letters of the
name you wish to find.

If you want to call a prefix phone number you
must enter the digits to replace the »W« after
having pressed »CALL«.

»CALL«.

How to edit or delete a
name/number

If you want to edit or delete a name/number or
see the status of your phone book, you have to
go through the List menu (see page 12).

Extra phone books

Some SIM cards offer you the possibility of
having extra phone books for different
purposes. If you have one or more of these
phone books, you will find them through the
List menu (see page 13).

Phone book sorting

To sort the names in your phone book, enter
the Setup menu (see page 29).

Outgoing calls

Your phone will show your last dialled
telephone numbers. If you want to call one of
the numbers again, select it and press »CALL«
to initiate the call.

Answered calls

Your phone remembers the last 10 calls
your phone has received. It is possible to call
one of the numbers by selecting it and pressing
»CALL« to initiate the call.

Missed calls

Your phone remembers the last 10 incom­ing calls which you did not answer.

The display will tell you how many missed
calls your phone has received, since the last
time you touched it. If, for instance, there are 5
missed calls the standby display will show .5.

As the telephone registers only identified
calls in the list, the number of missed calls
shown on the display and the number of phone
numbers actually listed may be different.

• Immediate access to the list of missed calls

As long as the symbol is shown in your
display, you get immediate access to the list of
missed calls simply by pressing . You can
then select and call a number.

• How to see the list of missed calls at a

later moment

As soon as you have used the list, either to
make a call or to view numbers, the symbol
will disappear from the display. However, the
list will always be available through the List
menu, where you can also select and call a
number.

The telephone number will be deleted from
the list as soon as you have called it, but you
can find it again on the list of last outgoing
calls.

How to copy one of the numbers
into your phone book

You can copy a number from the list of
outgoing, answered, or missed calls into your
phone book.

You just select the wanted phone number
from the actual list, press to access your
phone book and give the number a name and a
location.

How to delete call information

You can delete all entries stored in the out­going, answered, and missed calls lists. This is
done by entering the Setup menu (see page 29).

On the following pages, these options will
be explained in greater detail
