GettingStarted

Before you start using the phone, you may need to insert the Micro SIM card.

Installing the Micro SIM card

The eject button is a small round aperture on the tray door. To install a new Micro SIM card:

1Insert the Micro SIM ejection tool that comes with the phone (or a thin pin) into the eject button aperture, and push firmly but gently until the tray pops out.

Eject buttonaperture

2Remove the tray and place the Micro SIM card inside it (see image above). There is only one possible way to fit the card snugly into the tray.

3Carefully reposition the tray in the slot and push it gently back into the phone.

NOTE

Make sure the gold contact area on the card is facing downwards.

6

Charging your phone

A rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery is used to power your phone.

A USB Adapter, which is included with your phone, is used to charge the battery. Ask your T-Mobile sales representative for further details regarding approved batteries and chargers.

Before using your phone for the first time, make sure the battery is fully charged. An uncharged battery will fully recharge after 3.5 hours.

USB Adapter

USB Cable

Warning!

If the touch screen does not function while the phone is in the process of charging, it may be due to an unstable power supply. As a result, disconnect the USB cable from the device or unplug the USB Adapter from the power outlet.

7

1Connect the USB Adapter and USB cable (as shown on the previous page).

2Plug the USB cable (as shown on the next image) into the phone’s Charger/Accessory Port.

NOTE

The battery must be fully charged initially to improve battery lifetime.

Your phone has an internal antenna. Be careful not to scratch or damage this rear area, as that will cause loss of performance.

When charging your phone with a fully discharged battery, the red LED indicator will briefly flash indicating charging is occurring in a mode designed to prevent battery damage. The blinking will stop and normal

charging will commence once a sufficient minimum charge has been established.
