Using the Memory Card

Your i885 phone comes with a 64 MB Micro SD memory card, memory card reader, and memory card adaptor.

A memory card is a removable flash memory card that you can use to store pictures, videos, and audio files. The memory card can be inserted in your phone or connected to your computer using the memory card reader and memory card adaptor.

When the memory card is in your phone, many types of pictures, videos, and audio files stored on the memory card can be viewed or played using your phone’s Media Center. Music files stored on the memory card can be played using your phone’s MP3 Music Player.

For complete instructions on using the memory card with your phone and with your computer, see “Memory Card” on page 26.

SIM Chip Security

Your SIM chip stores all your Contacts and protects your personal information. Since this information is stored on your SIM chip, not in your phone, you can remove the information by removing your SIM chip.

Note: Except for making emergency calls, your

phone will not function without the SIM chip.

To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, your SIM chip is protected by a PIN that you enter each time the phone is powered on. You can change the PIN or turn off the requirement that it be entered.

Turning the PIN Requirement On and Off

When the SIM PIN requirement is off, your phone can be used without entering a PIN.

Important: When the SIM PIN requirement is off,

When the SIM PIN requirement is on, you are prompted to enter your PIN each time you power on your phone.
