Welcome

Thanks for buying the new O2X3 Mobile – we know you
won’t be disappointed.

Quite simply the O2X3 represents the latest that mobiles
have to offer combining new advances in audio, visual and
data technologies.

The first thing to point out is the high quality camera
offering 1.3 megapixel imaging (that’s really high quality)
and the option to record your own video footage. How
cool is that?

xiii

Secondly the O2X3 has a screen that offers 262,000 colours
making your pictures and videos more lifelike than ever.
After all, what good’s a really cool camera if your screen
makes the pictures look rubbish?

You’ve also got yourself a top class personal MP3 player
which will allow you to play MP3 files.

Because the sound and picture quality on the O2X3 is so
good, we figured you’d probably want to create and store
more files than usual so we’ve included a memory
expansion slot with a 32mb miniSD card.

There’s also a cable to connect your mobile directly to your
PC so you can download and email videos or images that
might be too big to send directly from your mobile.

By connecting through O2Active™,
you’ll be able to access streaming
footage of newsclips, sports highlights,
music videos etc.

And at last you have a phone screen
that is worthy of some of the classic
games that are available to download.

All in all, we’re pretty pleased with the
O2X3. We hope you feel the same way.

O2 does not suggest in any way that the celebrities featured in this guide are

To use your mobile, a SIM card is required at all times –
this contains important information about your mobile and
network. The message Insert SIM appears when the SIM
card is not installed.

Please take care of your SIM card and don’t keep it near
magnetic and electronic devices as this can interfere with
data storage and network operations.

•Turn your mobile over and release the battery latch

• Lift the battery off the mobile

Please note:

Do not remove the battery when the mobile is on. Doing
so could cause you to lose personal settings or data stored
either on your SIM card or in the mobile’s memory.

• Slide the SIM card in under the metal grooves in the SIM
card slot, with the SIM card’s metal contacts facing down
and the cut corner at the top right

Please note:

A SIM card can be easily damaged if its metal contacts
become scratched. Therefore, take special care when
holding or inserting it.

If you wish to remove the SIM
card, you must first press down
the stay, then push the SIM card
out of the slot.

Insert the charger’s contact point into the slot and plug the
charger in at the socket.
Please ensure you insert the charger the right side up.

Please note:

Before you use the battery for the first time, make sure
you charge it for at least four hours. Charging the battery
fully each time will help prolong its lifetime – and is much
better than frequent short bursts of charging.

21

Installing the battery

Insert the bottom of the battery into the groove at the
bottom of the mobile. Then push down the battery until it
locks into place.

Removing the battery

Pull down the tab with one hand and then lift the top of
the battery to separate from the mobile.

Please note:

The battery must be securely placed in the battery
compartment. If the battery is improperly inserted your
mobile will not turn on or the battery may slip off
during use.

20

Charging the battery

Charger socket

Charger connector

• Do not remove the battery while your mobile is
charging

• Never store a battery near a fire

• Don’t attempt to take the battery apart. Only use the
battery approved by the manufacturer

•Never touch the battery terminals with a metallic
object, as this can lead to short circuiting. Take special
care when carrying a battery in your pocket

•Misuse of the battery can lead to burns from hot
temperatures and even explosion. Never drop or
apply any physical shock to the battery as it may
damage the battery and even cause fire

• Please keep your battery out of children’s reach and
in a dry and cool area

•Store and charge your battery at room temperature.
Extremes of temperature can prevent full charging
and affect battery life and performance

• Since a battery is a consumable product, the
operating time will gradually decrease through use

• Keep the terminals of the battery clean and dry

•When there is risk of lightning, remove the charger’s
plug from the socket to protect the mobile

Important battery information

23

Charging status

Whilst charging, your mobile will show an animation.
The battery level will scroll until fully charged.

When the battery is out of power, your mobile will play
an alert sound to remind you to recharge it and will
eventually turn off automatically.

As the O2X3 comes with an extended battery, charging
will take approximately 4-5 hours. To ensure the battery
charges as quickly as possible, close the flip whilst the
handset is charging.

Maximising battery life

To make your O2X3 battery last longer, try the
following tips:

•Use the power saving mode. See page 185 to
activate this

•Close the flip when you‘re not using your mobile

• Close the WAP (O2Active) connection when not in use

22

Your O2X3 comes with a CD-Rom and USB cable in the box.
This allows you to connect your mobile to a PC and download
selected digital images or video clips and much more. It is
extra security for those files you do not want to lose.

Software installation

•Insert the supplied CD-Rom into your CD-Rom drive

• The CD-Rom will launch and the installation begins

• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the
installation and use the software

Please note:

• The CD-Rom and USB cable are not essential to
using your mobile, so installation is a choice of
personal preference

•Your mobile may not recognise the USB cable if it is
connected whilst an application is running. Connect the
USB data cable during stand-by

•You may not be able to download certain application
such as games, ring tones or wallpapers to your PC for
copyright reasons

25

When you buy the O2X3 you’ll also be supplied with the
mini SD card. It’s a removable flash memory card designed
to add greater storage to your mobile. The memory card
supplied is 32Mb meaning you‘ll be able to store loads of
pictures, videos and MP3s.

For greater storage, flexibility and excellent security at an
incredibly small size, all you have to do is insert the card
into your O2X3.

• Remove the SD card slot
cover from the bottom of
your mobile

•Insert the mini SD card
with the metal contacts
facing upwards and push
into place

•Replace the cover

If you wish to remove the mini SD card, open the cover
and press the mini SD card to release.

If you need more space, you can purchase a memory card
with more space from an O2Retail store.
