1. Getting Started
Please read the safety instructions in the “Precautions”
section before using your phone.
To use your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card
supplied by your GSM operator or retailer. The SIM
card contains your subscription information, your
mobile phone number and a memory in which you
can store phone numbers and messages.
Insert the SIM card
Follow the steps below to insert your new SIM card.
Remember to switch off your mobile phone before
removing the back cover and battery.
Remove the back cover
To insert the SIM card, you must first remove the
back cover. Press on the back cover with your thumb
and slide the cover downwards. Then use your free
hand to lift up the door of the battery compartment as
shown below.
4 Getting Started
Remove the battery
To remove the battery, lift up the battery from the
bottom as show below.
Insert the SIM card
Make sure the clipped corner of the SIM card is facing
the correct direction and the metallic contacts facing
downwards. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card slot
until it stops.
Replace the back cover
Replace the back cover by sliding it up into its slot,
until it stops.
Replace the battery
Slide the battery back to its slot, with the gold contacts
facing downwards until it stops. Then lock it by
pushing it downwards.
Remove the protective film covering the screen before
using the phone.
Switch on the phone
To switch on the phone, long press ) key. Enter the
PIN code if required. It is preconfigured and
communicated to you by your operator or retailer. For
more information on PIN code, see “Security”.
If you enter an incorrect PIN code three times in
succession, your SIM card will be locked. To unlock it,
you must obtain the PUK code from your network
operator.
Getting Started 5
Charge the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A
new battery is partially charged and an alarm will warn
you when the battery level is low. If the battery is
empty, it needs to be charged for 2 or 3 minutes
before the battery symbol indicators flash. Plug the
charger into the charger connector at the top left side
of the phone as shown below. Then plug the other
end of the charger into an AC power socket.
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge. The
charge indicators will scroll when the battery is
charging. The battery is fully charged when the charge
indicators stop scrolling. You can then disconnect the
charger.
Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile phone
when the battery is fully charged will not damage the
battery. The only way to disconnect the charger is to
unplug it, so use an easily accessible AC power socket.
If you are not using your phone for a period of time,
we recommend that you remove the battery.
You can use your phone while it is charging. When the
battery is completely discharged, the charge indicators
will appear only after a few minutes of charging.
