1.Getting Started
Please read the safety instructions in the
“Precautions” section before use.
Before you start using 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
small quantity of memory in which you can store
phone numbers and messages. The SIM card can
be removed from your mobile phone and inserted
into any other GSM/GPRS mobile phone to be
read (a new mobile phone will automatically read
the SIM card).
To prevent losing or damaging the data stored on
the SIM card, you should avoid touching the
metallic area on the card and keep the SIM card
away from electricity or magnets. If the SIM card
is damaged, you will not be able to access the GSM/
GPRS network and use the mobile telephone.
Before removing the SIM card you must switch
off the mobile phone. Do not insert or remove
the SIM card while the phone is connected to an
external power source, as this could damage the
SIM card.
Inserting the SIM card and Memory card
Remove the back cover and battery
Make sure that the phone is powered off. You need
to remove the back cover and battery of your phone
before you can insert the SIM card. Use your finger
to lift the battery up from its slot.
Getting Started
P699_EN 8/23/07, 5:17 PM8
7
You may lose all your personal settings if you
remove the battery when the phone is switched on.
Insert the SIM card
Make sure that the clipped corner of the SIM card
is facing the correct direction, and the metallic
contacts are facing downwards. Slide the SIM card
into the card slot until it stops.
When you remove your SIM card the first time,
make sure that you smoothen the edges, otherwise you may have difficulty sliding in the card.
Insert the Memory card
Make sure that the memory card is facing the correct
direction, and the metallic contacts are facing
downwards. Slide your memory card cover to the
right, lift up the card cover and insert the memory
card into the card slot. Then push down the card
cover and slide memory card cover to the left to
lock the memory card into place.
8
P699_EN 8/23/07, 5:17 PM9
Getting Started
Replace the battery and the back cover
With the metallic contacts facing downwards, press the
battery down into its slot until it locks into place. Note
that the hinge should be at the bottom of the phone.
Press down the back cover until it locks into place.
When inserting the battery, be careful not to
damage the metallic connectors of the SIM card
slot.
Power on the phone
To power on the phone, long press the power supply
key. Enter the PIN code if required (the 4 to 8 digit
secret code of your SIM card). It is preconfigured
and provided to you by your network operator or
retailer.
If you enter an incorrect PIN code 3 times in
succession, your SIM card will be blocked. To
unblock it, you must obtain the PUK code from
your network operator.
Power off the phone
At all times, you can long press the power supply
key to power off the phone.
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
The new battery is partially charged. A sound alert
will be emitted to warn you when the battery level
becomes low.
We recommend that you do not remove the
battery when the phone is powered 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 may
need to reset the information after you have
installed the battery back again.
Getting Started
P699_EN 8/23/07, 5:17 PM10

Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
Plug the charger connector into the bottom of
the phone (with the arrow pointing upward).
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge.
If the phone is charging while power off, a charge
indicator will appear on the screen. If the battery
is completely flat, it might take some time after
you have begun charging before the charge
indicator appears on the screen.
When the battery level icon indicates that the
battery is full and does not flash anymore, this
means that the battery is fully charged. When
charging while power off , there will still be an
indication on the screen that the charging is
complete. This process usually takes over 2.5
hours. The mobile phone and charger will become
warm during charging and this is normal .
When charging is complete, unplug the charge
connector from the electrical outlet and the
mobile phone.
Charging must be performed in a well-ventilated
area at a temperature between -10°C and +45°C.
The factory-supplied charger must be used.
Using an unapproved charger could be dangerous.
Moreover, this breaches the provisions of the
repair warranty and violates the mobile phone’s
certification.
If the mobile phone automatically shuts down
or indicates Battery is low, you should immediately
charge the battery. If the battery has not been
entirely used up before charging, the mobile
phone will automatically reduce the recharging
duration.
If you do not intend to use your phone for
several days, we recommend that you remove the
battery.
