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