1. Getting Started

When inserting the battery, be careful not to damage the metallic connectors of the SIM card slot.

6.Remove the protective film covering the screen before using the phone.

Switch on the phone

Long press ) to switch on the phone. You may be required to enter the PIN code (which is the 4 - 8 digit security code of your SIM card). The PIN code is preconfigured and provided to you by your network operator or retailer. To change the PIN code, see “Change code” page 53.

If you enter a wrong PIN code 3 times in succession, your SIM card will be blocked. To unblock it, you must request the PUK code from your network operator.

Set date and time

When you switch on the phone for the first time, the time indicated on your phone is based on the factory default time setting. Hence, you need to enter the phone settings to reset the date and time of your phone. Set the date by pressing the

corresponding numeric keys on the keypad (press R Clear to erase a number). Then, proceed to set

the time in the same way.

For more information regarding date and time settings, please see “Clock settings” page 42.

8	Getting Started

Charging the battery

Your phone comes with a standard battery. The phone will emit an audible alert when the battery reaches low. When the battery is completely flat, the charging icon will appear after a few minutes of charging.

We recommend that you do not remove the battery when the phone is switched on as you may lose all your personal settings as a result. If you do remove it, the date and time settings are only memorized for a short while. As such, you need to reset the information after you have installed the battery back again.

1.Once the battery and back cover is attached to the phone, plug the charger connector (supplied with the phone, in the box) into the charging socket at the base of the phone (arrow side up), and plug the other end of the charger to an easily accessible AC power socket.

2.The battery icon indicates the state of charge: When charging, the 4 charge indicator bars change constantly and it normally takes around 2.5* hours to fully recharge the battery (when charging with the phone switched off, the screen will display a charging animation).

3.When all 4 bars are steady, the battery is fully charged and you can disconnect the charger. Depending on the network and usage conditions, the maximum talk time of a fully-charged standard battery goes from 2 to 5 hrs*, while the maximum stand-by time is about 300 hrs*.

*The data was derived from a test conducted at our France laboratory when the battery is fully-charged for the first time. Depending on the network conditions, user settings, method of use, etc the actual results may differ.

Getting Started

9

Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile phone when the battery is fully charged will not damage the battery. The only way to turn off the charger is to unplug it, so it is advisable to use an easily accessible AC power socket.

If you do not intend to use your phone for several days, we recommend that you remove the battery.

You can use the phone while it is charging (note that the vibra alert goes off when the charger is connected). If the battery is completely flat, the battery icon will only reappear after a few minutes of charging.
