2 • Getting started

Read the safety instructions in the "Precautions" section before use (see page 71).

To use your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card supplied by your GSM operator or retailer. The SIM card contains your subscription, your mobile number, and a memory in which you can store phone numbers and messages.

Insert the SIM card: slide the SIM card it into the card slot carefully. Make sure that the clipped corner is in the correct corner and the metal contacts are facing down.

Insert the SIM card

Make sure the phone is switched off before removing the battery.

With the back of the phone facing you, press the release button on the back cover of the phone, slide it downwards and lift up the cover to remove it. Remove the battery as shown below.

Slide the battery into its slot, metallic connectors facing downwards, until it stops. Then lock it by pushing it downwards.

Getting started 9

Replace the back cover of your phone: slide it upwards until it locks into place.

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

Pull away the protective rubber cap covering the sockets at the base of phone (it is attached to the phone so that you cannot lose it) and plug the charger connector (supplied with the phone) into the right socket, then plug the charger into an AC wall outlet.

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 reaches low. If the battery is completely flat, it will take 2 or 3 minutes of charging for its icon to reappear.

You may lose all your personal settings if you remove the battery when the phone is switched on.

Make sure that the battery and battery cover are attached to the phone.

When charging (while the phone is switched off), an animation will be displayed on the main display as well as the sub display of the phone. When the battery is fully charged, the phone will emit an alert tone and the LED indicator changed from red to green. You can also charge the battery when the phone is switched on.

When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger from the AC wall outlet and the phone.

10 Getting started

Keeping the charger connected to the phone when the battery is fully charged will not damage the battery. The only way to turn off the cha rger is to disconnect it, so use an easily accessible AC well outlet. You can connect the charger to an IT supply (Belgium only).

Switch on the phone

Long press ) to switch on the phone. If "Please insert SIM card" appears on the screen, it means that your SIM card has not been inserted correctly. Please check whether the SIM card has been inserted correctly and is valid.

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 operator.

Set date and time

When you switch on your phone for the first time, you will be prompted to set the date and time. Use the alphanumeric keypad to enter numbers.

For complete date and time options, see page 59.

Calibration

This feature allows you to calibrate your screen, in order to achieve better precision when using it with the stylus pen. You must tap all three "+" signs one after another to complete the process.
