1 • Getting started
Read the safety instructions in the «Precautions» section
before use.
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 memory in which you can store phone numbers
and messages (see “Contacts” page 19).
2.
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.
3.
Place the battery in its slots as shown below: first
5.
Remove the protective film covering the screens
and the camera lens before using the phone.
For complete date and time options, see page 46.
If at first switch on, if you do not copy the SIM
phonebook, see “Contacts select” page 19.
The mobile phone detects a SIM card that already
contains names and a message asks you if you want to
copy your SIM phonebook onto the built-in
phonebook. Press

The battery symbol indicates the state of charge:
- during charging, the 4 charge indicators scroll;
Each bar represents around 25% of charge and
it takes around 1.45 hours to fully recharge
your mobile phone.
- when all 4 bars are steady the battery is fully
charged: disconnect the charger. Depending
on the network and condition of use, talk time
Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile when the
battery is fully charged doesn’t damage the battery.

use an easily accessible AC power socket. You can
connect the charger to an IT supply (Belgium only).
