Welcome

Nice one.

You’re now the proud owner of an O2X4.

Apart from a top mobile, you’ve bought yourself a shed
load of benefits and services that’ll keep you ahead of the
game for a good while yet.

There’s the 1.3 megapixel camera (with flash) that can take
pictures worthy of the mind blowing 262,000 colours that
the O2X4 colour screen can handle.

xiii

At last the perfect combination; hi-res camera + hi-res
screen = quality pix that you can show and send to people
without having to attach an explanation of what they’re
meant to be.

Not just stills though, the O2X4 is so smart that it lets you
record and play video as well.

Now you can really do your personal messages justice.

It’s also a really good music player on which to store and
play your own MP3 files with an expanded memory pack
so you can store more of whatever you want.

Welcome

Your O2X4 also holds the key to the
whole world of O2Active services. At
3G speeds* you can access streaming
video footage from all sorts of sources
news, sporting highlights and music.

And because your O2X4 links directly
to your PC using its own cable, you can
upload and download files to your
heart’s content.

†

It’s been our pleasure to develop the
O2X4, we hope it’s your pleasure to
use it.

* Subject to 3G coverage.

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.

Plug in your SIM

•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 bottom left

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.

Power connection

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.

Charging the battery

Charger socket

Charger connector

Preparing your mobile for use

• Do not remove the battery while your mobile is charging

•Do not over charge the Li-Ion battery, as this can result in
a reduction in battery performance and life span. The
recommended maximum charge time is 6-8 hours

• 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, 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 O2X4 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 O2X4 battery last longer, try the
following tips:

•Use the power saving mode. See page 180 to
activate this

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

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

22

Preparing your mobile for use

Your O2X4 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, even back-up your contacts from your
SIM card, download MP3 files to your mobile 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 standby

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

25

When you buy the O2X4 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 64Mb 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 O2X4.

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

•Insert the mini SD card
with the metal contacts
facing downwards 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 storage space, you can purchase a memory
card with more space from an O2Retail store.
