If needed, remove the battery: press the inner clip downwards, then remove the battery by pulling it from the bottom.

Remove the SIM card from its holder and insert it under the metal clip holder, until it stops. Be careful that the clipped corner of the card is in the correct corner.

The battery symbol indicates the state of charge:

- during charging, the 3 charge indicators scroll; it takes around 2.5 hours to fully recharge your mobile phone.

- when all 3 bars are steady the battery is fully charged: disconnect the charger. Depending on the network and condition of use, talk time goes up to 4 hrs and stand-by time up to 300 hrs.

Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile when the battery is fully charged doesn’t damage the battery. The only way to turn off the charger is to unplug it, so use an easily accessible AC power socket. You can connect the charger to an IT supply (Belgium only).
