SIM card

The SIM card contains your phone number, service details, and phonebook/message memory. Your phone supports both 1.8 V and 3 V SIM cards.

Some legacy SIM cards may not function with your phone. You should consult with your mobile operator for a replacement SIM card. There may be fees for this service.

Inserting the SIM card

1. Take the bottom cover off.

See “Removing the bottom cover.”

With the SIM card’s gold contacts facing down and its cut-off corner facing out,

insert the SIM card halfway into the SIM card slot.

Removing the SIM card

Make sure to switch off your phone before removing your SIM card. Otherwise, the phone will automatically turn off when you remove the SIM card.

12 Basics

Battery

Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. Please use only original batteries and accessories that came with your phone or replacements that we recommend.

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your phone. Among these are the phone features and accessories you use (for example, leaving your Bluetooth connection always on uses more power). Long phone calls and web browsing will drain the battery faster.

Removing the battery

Right after you take your phone out from the box for the first time, don’t forget to remove the thin film wrapped around the battery that’s inside your phone.

With the phone turned off, hold your phone securely with the front facing down.

With your thumb or finger, lift the battery compartment cover off from the small

opening on the left side of your phone.

3. Pull the battery out from the battery compartment.

13 Basics

Inserting the battery

Hold your phone securely with the front facing down.

With your thumb or finger, lift the battery compartment cover off from the small

opening on the left side of your phone.

Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the battery

compartment.

4. Put back the battery compartment cover, pushing the battery all the way in.

5. Press down all sides of the cover to lock it in place.

Your phone’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi antennas are placed underneath the battery compartment cover. We recommend that you secure the battery compartment cover to the phone for stronger Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection.

14 Basics

Charging the battery

The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using your phone, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.

Only the power adapter and USB sync cable provided with your phone must be used to



charge the battery.

Do not remove the battery from the phone while you are charging it using the power or car



adapter.

1. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector of your phone.

2. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.

As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid red light. The light turns to solid green when the phone is fully charged.

When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging battery icon ( ) is displayed in your phone’s status bar. After the battery has been fully charged, the charging battery icon turns to a full battery icon ( ).

As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.

15 Basics

Switching your phone on or off

Switching your phone on

Press the POWER button. Easy.

When you turn on the phone for the first time, you’ll need to set it up. See the Getting started chapter for details.

Switching your phone off

1. If the display is off, press the POWER button to turn it back on, then unlock the

screen by sliding down the bar on the lock screen.

See “Unlocking the screen” in the Getting started chapter for details.

Press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds.

When the Power options menu appears, tap Power off.

Entering your PIN

Most SIM cards come with a PIN (personal identification number) set by your mobile operator. If you’re asked for a PIN, enter it and then tap OK.

To find out how to enable, disable, or change the PIN, see “Protecting your SIM card with a PIN” in the Security chapter.

If you enter the wrong PIN three times, your SIM card is blocked. No problem. Just contact your mobile operator and ask for the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key).

Finger gestures

Tap When you want to type using the keyboard, select items onscreen such as

application and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons, simply tap them with your finger.

Press and hold To open the available options for an item (for example, a contact or link in a

web page), simply press and hold the item.

Swipe or slide To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally

across the screen.

Drag Press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag.

While dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

Flick Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your

finger in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts or message list.

Rotate For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation

from portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you can turn the phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard.

Pinch In some apps, like Gallery or the web browser, you can “pinch” the screen

Getting started

Setting up your phone for the first time

When you switch on your phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to set up your phone.

Some features that need to connect to the Internet such as location-based services and auto-sync of your online accounts may incur extra data fees from your mobile operator. Don’t worry. You can enable or disable them in your phone’s settings as you go along later on. To find out how, see the Settings chapter.
