The bq team would like to thank you for purchasing your new Aquaris E4.5
. We hope you enjoy using it.
The Aquaris E4.5 is an unlocked smartphone with dual SIM (micro-SIM) function,
which means you can use two SIM cards at the same time, regardless of network
operator.
Ubuntu introduces a new way to enjoy content and services on smartphones,
without relying on traditional apps. The Ubuntu interface only uses touch gestures
on the screen, and does not use physical access buttons on the front.
This guide will walk you through the basic steps required to set up and use your
Ubuntu phone - and help you to make the most of its unique features, such as the
Scopes.
Ubuntu’s Scopes make it faster and easier than ever before to nd the things you
want. Within minutes, you’ll be navigating to the music, photos, videos, apps and
services you want to use much quicker than you can with other smartphones.

want. Within minutes, you’ll be navigating to the music, photos, videos, apps and
services you want to use much quicker than you can with other smartphones.
How to Insert SIM Cards
Your bq Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition is a dual SIM (2 x micro-SIM slot) smartphone.
The SIM trays are accessed from the phone’s exterior; the rear cover should not be
removed under any circumstances.
We will explain how to congure and use the dual SIM feature later, but rst, the

starting to use it.
You will nd the SIM key and the device documents in the
box.
Making sure the device is off, insert the end of the SIM
key into the orice of the SIM slot you want to use.
Place your SIM card in the tray. Make sure it is in the
correct position (use the notch on the corner for guidance:
see image).
Once the SIM is in position, insert the tray back into the
slot.
If you insert a new SIM card into the device while it is switched on, you will need

(located at the top of the phone).
Place the MicroSD card in the tray ensuring that the metal
pins are closest to the interior and facing upwards towards
the screen.
Push the card in until you hear a slight click, which
indicates that it has been inserted correctly. If the card is
not inserted correctly, the device may not recognise it and
its content will not be available.

dust and dirt from entering the device, and to avoid
accidentally ejecting the MicroSD card.
To remove the MicroSD card, follow the steps above in reverse, bearing in mind the
following recommendations:
a. For greater security, switch the device off before removing the MicroSD
card.
b. If you need to remove the MicroSD card while the device is switched on, rst

cable and mains adapter are provided with the phone. To charge it, follow these
simple steps:
a) Using the mains adapter:
1. Plug the USB cable into the mains adapter.
2. Connect the mains adapter to any standard plug socket (220 V/50 Hz).
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the micro-USB port on your
smartphone.
b) Using a laptop or desktop computer:
1. Plug the USB cable into a compatible USB port on your computer.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the micro-USB port on your
smartphone.
The battery of your bq Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition is non-removable. If it is

be damaged and the warranty invalidated.
Allowing the battery to charge fully is recommended when you charge it for the
rst time, as this will help calibrate the battery meter. Bear in mind that some
batteries perform better after a number of full charge/discharge cycles.
The time required to charge your phone may vary slightly depending on whether
it is charged via the mains adapter or via a computer USB port.

alongside suggestions for the closest public transport locations. The Apps Scope
shows the apps installed on the phone and gives you access to the Ubuntu Store,
while the News Scope keeps you up to date with the latest international, sports and

activated and in certain areas, it may not be possible to make a phone call.
· Antenna: Use of the device with an antenna other than that supplied by Mundo

APPENDIX D: Information on Exposure to Radio Waves and the SAR
(Specic Absorption Rate)
The design of this mobile device complies with the current regulations governing
exposure to radio waves. These regulations are based on scientic guidelines that
include safety margins designed to ensure the safety of everyone, regardless of age
or state of health.
The guidelines on exposure to radio waves use a unit of measurement known as
the SAR (Specic Absorption Rate). SAR tests are carried out using standardised
methods, with the mobile device transmitting at the highest certied power level in
all frequency bands used.
The maximum SAR levels recommended by the ICNIRP (International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) is 2 W/kg measured on 10 g of tissue.
The highest SAR levels recorded for this phone are:
Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition
Auditory use 0.582 W/Kg (10 g)
When used in direct contact with the body 1.003 W/Kg (10 g)
This device complies with the guidelines on exposure to radio frequency both when
used in the normal position next to the ear and when positioned at least 1.5 cm from
the body.
In order to send data les or messages, this device requires an adequate network
connection. On certain occasions, the transmission of data les or messages may
be delayed until an adequate connection becomes available. Until the transmission
has been completed, make sure you follow the instructions on separation distance
mentioned above.
