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 network 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 would not use 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.
