Getting Started

Installing the SIM Card and Battery

1. Installing the SIM card

Your SIM card contains your phone number, service details and contacts and must be inserted into your handset. If your SIM card is removed, your handset becomes unusable (except for emergency calls, depending on which Country you are in at the time) until a valid one is inserted. Always disconnect the charger and other accessories from your handset before inserting or removing your SIM card. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card holder. Make sure that the SIM card is properly inserted and the gold contact area on the card is facing downwards. To remove the SIM card, press down lightly and pull it gently outwards.

To remove the SIM card To insert the SIM card

Note

The metal contact of the SIM card can easily be damaged by scratches. Pay special attention to the SIM

card while handling. Follow the instructions supplied with the SIM card.

2. Installing the battery.

Remove the battery cover (as shown below). Align the metal contacts on the bottom edge of the battery compartment. Press the other end of the battery down until it clicks into place. Finally, place the battery cover on the phone as shown below.

Charging the Battery

Before connecting the charger to the phone, you must first check if the battery is installed.

Getting Started

Charging Mode

When you charge your phone, the phone’s LED next to the earpiece of your phone turns red.

When the phone is fully charged, the LED turns green.

Note

If the phone is off while charging, you can press the power key for approx. 2 seconds and it will turn on.

When the battery is completely discharged, the red LED blinks and you can’t turn on the phone at this

moment. As soon as the charged power reaches 1%(after a few minutes), the LED stops blinking and charging animation is displayed. Then you can power on the phone.

CAUTION!

• When you charge a fully discharged battery, it may take over a minute for the display to respond. This is not a malfunction but completely normal.

• Do not force the connector in, as this may damage the phone and/or the charger.

• If you use the charger out of your own country, use an attachment plug adaptor for the proper configuration.

• Do not remove your battery or the SIM card while charging.

• There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING

• Unplug the charger from the power source and the phone during lightning storms to avoid electric shock or fire.

• Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal teeth or nails come into contact with the battery. It may cause a fire.

Disconnecting the Charger
