1. Getting Started

Please read through the safety instructions in the “Precautions” section before use (please see page 58).

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 telephone number, and a small quantity of memory in which you can store phone numbers and messages (for more information, see “Contacts” on page 43). You also have the option to insert an SD/MMC card. This provides you with expanded memory capability, which allows you to store additional music, photo, and video files separate from the phone's built-in memory.

Insert the SIM card

Press down the latch (1) and then lift up the door of the battery compartment (2).

6 Getting Started

To remove the battery, press down the latch (1) and lift up the battery in the direction shown below.

If your SIM card is delivered in a credit-card size, remove it from its holder and insert it under the metal clip holder, until it stops. Make sure that the clipped corner of the card is in the correct corner and that the gold contacts are facing down.

Slide the battery back into the compartment with metallic connectors downwards, until it stops. Then lock it by pushing it downwards.

Replace the back cover by pushing it down into its slots, until it stops.

Remove the protective film covering the screen and the camera lens before using the phone.

Hold the phone so that the camera lens faces you, and then hold the SD/MMC card with its notched edge in the lower right-hand side position (1). If held properly, the card's gold contacts will be facing you from the bottom side of the card. Gently slip the card into the SD/MMC card slot at the top of the phone (2). Press down until the card locks into place.

Insert an SD/MMC Card

Ensure your phone is turned off first in order prevent accidental static discharge from the battery corrupting your SD/MMC card memory. Next, press down the

Getting Started 7

Replace the back cover by pushing it down into its slots, until it stops.

The first time you insert an SD/MMC card into your phone, it is formatted for compatibility. Folders for your photo, video, audio, and other files are created automatically. If you have any prior existing data on the card, it may be lost. To use the SD/MMC card as the default storage location for your data files, under your phone Settings set the Default Storage option to Memory Card. (For more information on this, please refer to page 54.) Finally, to remove the SD/MMC card, gently press the top of it inside its slot. When it pops up, you may remove it from the phone.

Switching on the phone

To switch on the phone, long press the)key. Enter the PIN code if required (i.e. the 4- to 8-digit secret code of your SIM card). It is preconfigured and communicated to you by your operator or retailer. For more information on PIN codes, see “Security” on page 54.

If you enter an incorrect PIN code 3 times, your SIM card will be blocked. To unblock it, you must request the PUK code from your operator.

Charging 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 level is low. Once the battery and the battery cover are clipped on the phone you can charge the phone. Pull away the protective rubber cap covering the charger connector (it is attached to the phone so that you cannot lose it). Plug in the connector as shown below. Then plug it into a main AC power socket.

Depending on the network and condition of use, talk time goes up to 4 hours and stand-by time up to 300 hours. Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile when the battery is fully charged will not damage the battery. The only way to turn off the charger is to unplug it, so use an easily accessible AC power socket.

Precautions

Radio Waves

Your cellular mobile phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is

operating, it sends and receives radio waves.

The radio waves carry your voice or data signal to a base station that is connected to the telephone network. The network controls the power at which the phone transmits.

• Your phone transmits/receives radio waves in the

GSM frequency (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz).

• The GSM network controls transmission power

(0.01 to 2 watts).

• Your phone complies with all relevant safety

standards.

• The CE mark on your phone shows compliancy

with European electromagnetic compatibility (Ref. 89/336/EEC) and low voltage directives (Ref. 73/

23/EEC). Your cellular mobile phone is your responsibility. To avoid damage to yourself, to others or to the phone itself, read and follow all the safety instructions and make them known to anyone borrowing your phone.Furthermore to prevent unauthorized use of your phone:

Keep your phone in a safe place and keep it out of small children's reach. Avoid writing down your PIN code. Try to

remember it instead. Switch off the phone and remove the battery if you are going to leave it unused for a long time. Change your PIN code after purchasing the phone and to activate call restriction options.

The design of your phone complies with all

applicable laws and regulations. However

your phone may cause interference with

other electronic devices. Consequently you should follow all local recommendations and regulations when using your cellular phone both at home and when away. Regulations on the use of

cellular phones in vehicles and aircraft are particularly stringent.

Public concern has been focused for some time on the possible health risks for users of cellular phones. The current research on radio wave technology, including the GSM technology, has been reviewed and safety standards have been drawn up to ensure protection from exposure to radio wave energy. Your cellular telephone complies with all applicable safety standards and the Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC.

58 Precautions

Always switch off your phone

Inadequately protected or sensitive electronic equipment may be affected by radio energy. This

interference can lead to accidents.

Before boarding an aircraft and/or when packing the phone in your luggage: the use

of mobile phones in an aircraft may be dangerous for the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the mobile phones network and may be illegal.

In hospitals, clinics, other health care

centres and anywhere else where you may be

in the close vicinity of medical equipment.

In areas with a potentially explosive

atmosphere (e.g. petrol stations and also

areas where the air contains dust particles,

such as metal powders). In a vehicle transporting flammable products (even if the vehicle is parked) or a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), check first that the vehicle complies with the applicable safety rules. In areas where you are requested to turn off radio transmitting devices, such as quarries or other areas where blasting operations are in progress.

Check with the vehicle manufacturer that electronic equipment used in your vehicle will not be affected by radio energy.

Pacemakers

If you have a pacemaker:

• Always keep the phone more than 15 cm from your pacemaker when the phone is switched on, in order to avoid potential interference.

• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

• Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to minimize the potential interference.

• Switch off your phone if you suspect that interference is taking place.

Users of hearing aids

If you are a user of a hearing aid, consult your physician and hearing aid manufacturer to learn whether your particular device is susceptible to cellular phone interference.

Improved performance

In order to improve the performance of your phone, reduce radio energy emission, reduce battery

consumption and ensure safe operation adhere to the following guidelines:

Precautions 59

For the optimal and satisfactory operation of the phone you are recommended to use the phone in the normal operating position (when not using in hands-free mode or with a hands-free accessory).

• Do not expose your phone to extreme temperatures.

• Treat the phone with care. Any misuse will void the International Guarantee.

• Do not immerse the phone in any liquid; if your phone is damp, switch it off, remove the battery. and let them dry for 24hrs before using them again.

• To clean the phone, wipe it with a soft cloth.

• Placing and receiving calls consumes the same amount of battery energy. However, the mobile consumes less energy in idle screen when kept in the same place. When in idle screen and while you are moving, your phone consumes energy to transmit updated location information to the network. Setting the backlight for a shorter period of time as well as avoiding unnecessary navigating in the menus will also help to save the battery's energy for longer phoning and stand-by performances.

Battery information

• Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.

• Use specified charger only.

• Do not incinerate.

• Do not deform or open the battery.

• Do not allow metal objects (such as keys in your pocket) to short circuit the battery contacts.

• Avoid exposure to excessive heat (>60°C or 140°F), moisture or caustic environments.

You should only use Philips Authentic Accessories, as the use of any other accessories may damage your phone and will make all guarantees for your Philips phone

null and void. Make sure damaged parts are replaced immediately by a qualified technician and that they are replaced with genuine Philips replacement parts.

Do not use your phone while driving

Speaking on the telephone while driving

lowers your concentration, which can be

dangerous. Adhere to the following

guidelines:

60 Precautions

• Give your full attention to driving. Pull off the road and park before using the phone.

• Respect the local regulations in countries where you drive and use your GSM phone.

• If you want to use your phone in a vehicle, install the hands-free car kit which is designed for that purpose.

• Ensure that your phone and car kit do not block any air bags or other security devices fitted in your car.

The use of an alarm system to operate a vehicle's light or horn to indicate incoming phone calls is prohibited on public roads in some countries. Check local regulations.

EN60950 Norm

In case of hot weather or after a prolonged exposure to the sun (e.g., behind a window or a windscreen), the temperature of your phone's casing might increase, especially when featuring a metallic finish. Be very careful in this case when picking up your phone and also avoid using it with an ambient temperature over 40°C.

Environmental care

Remember to observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of the packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old phone

and please promote their recycling. Philips has marked the battery and packaging with standard symbols designed to promote the recycling and appropriate disposal of your eventual waste.

The battery should not be disposed of with general household waste.

The labeled packaging material is recyclable.

A financial contribution has been made to the associated national packaging recovery and recycling system (e.g. EcoEmballage in France).

The materials are recyclable (also identifies plastic material).

Precautions 61

Tro u bl es h oo t in g

The phone does not switch on

Remove/reinstall the battery. Then charge the phone until the battery icon stops scrolling. Unplug from charger and try to switch the mobile on.

The display shows BLOCKED when you switch on

Somebody tried to use your phone but didn’t know the PIN code nor the unblocking code (PUK). Contact your service provider.

The display shows IMSI failure

This problem is related to your subscription. Contact your operator.

Your phone doesn’t return to the idle screen

Long press the hangup key or switch off the phone, check that the SIM card and the battery are installed correctly and switch it on again.

The network symbol is not displayed

The network connection is lost. Either you are in a radio shadow (in a tunnel or between tall buildings) or you are outside the network coverage area. Try from another place, try to reconnect to the network (especially when abroad), check that the antenna is in

place if your mobile has an external antenna, or contact your network operator for assistance/ information.

The display doesn’t respond (or the display responds slowly) to key presses

The display responds more slowly at very low temperatures. This is normal and does not affect the operation of the phone. Take the phone to a warmer place and try again. In other cases please contact your phone supplier.

Your battery seems to over heat

You might be using a charger that was not intended for your phone. Make sure you always use the Philips authentic accessory shipped with your phone.

Your phone doesn’t display the phone numbers of incoming calls

This feature is network and subscription dependent. If the network doesn’t send the caller’s number, the phone will display Call 1 or Withheld instead. Contact your operator for detailed information on this subject.

You can’t send text messages

Some networks don’t allow message exchanges with other networks. First check that you entered the number of your SMS centre, or contact your operator for detailed information on this subject.

You can’t receive and/or store JPEG pictures

A picture may not be accepted by your mobile phone if it is too large, if its name is too long, or if it doesn’t have the correct file format.

You have the feeling that you miss some calls

Check your call divert options.

During battery charge, the battery icon shows no bar and the outline is flashing

Only charge the battery in an environment where the temperature does not go below 0°C (32°F) or above 50°C (113°F). In other cases please contact your phone supplier.

The display shows SIM failure

Check that the SIM card has been inserted in the right position. If the problem remains, your SIM card may be damaged. Contact your operator.

When attempting to use a feature in the menu, the mobile displays NOT ALLOWED

Some features are network dependent. They are only available, therefore, if the network or your subscription supports them. Contact your operator for detailed information on this subject.

The display shows INSERT YOUR SIM CARD

Check that the SIM card has been inserted in the right position. If the problem remains, your SIM card might be damaged. Contact your operator.

The autonomy of your phone seems lower that indicated in the user guide

The autonomy is linked to your settings (e.g., ringer volume, backlight duration) and the features you use. To increase the autonomy, and whenever possible, you must deactivate features you do not use.

Your phone doesn’t work well in your car

A car contains many metallic parts that absorb electromagnetic waves which can affect the phone’s performances. A car kit is available to provide you with an external antenna and enables you to make and receive phone calls without handling the handset.

Check with local authorities if you are allowed to use the phone whilst driving.

Your phone is not charging

If your battery is completely flat, it might take several minutes of pre-charge (up to 5 minutes in some cases) before the charging icon is displayed on the screen.

Philips Authentic
