When you subscribe to your network operator, you receive a SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card containing your registration information,
PIN code, etc.
Like a credit card, it should be kept secure and handled carefully. Do not
bend, scratch or expose it to moisture. Avoid static electricity.
To avoid corrupting your SIM card’s memory, always switch off your phone
before removing or inserting your SIM card.
About your battery
Your phone uses a Li-Ion battery. Make sure to use an authorized battery
and charger only. For more details, please inquire at your nearest dealer.
Note: Your phone is powered by a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. Unlike other
forms of battery technology, you can recharge your battery while some
charge remains without reducing your phone’s autonomy due to the “battery
memory effect” inherent in those technologies.
3. Insert the SIM card into the slot. The gold contacts of the SIM card
should go against the metal contacts of the phone. Put the connector of
the battery into the hole located at the top of the unit and then insert and
press the lower side of the battery until you hear the light click. Make
sure you align the gold contacts at the battery end with contacts on the
phone. If the contacts at the battery are not properly aligned, damage
could occur to the phone and the battery.
4. To remove the battery push the bottom of the battery to upwards (1) and
remove (2) the battery. Push the SIM card in the direction of the arrow
as shown.
To charge your battery
1. To charge, open the protective cover on the top right side and connect
the charger adapter. Make sure you align the connector as the image. If
not, it will damage the charging connector on the phone and will not
charge.
2. To remove the adapter connection press the adapter’s side buttons(1)
and pull the adapter away (2).
