Getting started

Inserting the SIM card

1 Remove the SIM card from its holder and insert in its slot,

under the metal clip holder, push until it stops. Be careful that the clipped corner of the card is in the correct position as shown opposite.

2 Slide the battery pack into its slot until it stops (1) and push

the clip downwards (2).

3 Place the phone’s battery cover, by sliding it until the latch

catches.

4 Remove the protective film from the screen before using the

phone.

Charging the battery

Read the safety instructions in the "Precautions" section before use.

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.

• For a full recharging please allow the charger to be connected for about 10 to 14 hours (e.g., over night).

• To optimise battery capacity, allow it to fully discharge 3 times in a row. Then, to maintain its optimal capacity, do not wait until the indicator reaches low (i.e., when only 1 bar is displayed in the battery indicator).

• Disconnect the battery if you do not use the phone for several days.

• You can use the phone while it is on charge.

• If the battery is completely flat, the battery icon will only reappear after 2 or 3 mn of recharging. Meanwhile, you cannot make a call.

1 Once the battery and the battery cover are connected to the phone, plug

the connector into the right hand socket at the base of the phone.

2 Then plug the transformer unit into an easily accessible AC power socket.

➨

Bars moving Bars steady

3 Depending on the network and condition of use, talk time goes from 1.40

to 4 hours and standby time from 8 to 15 days.

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

Customising your phone
