Congratulations on your purchase and welcome
to Philips!
To get the most of your product and enjoy all
Philips has to offer, register your product at
www.philips.com/welcom.
Please 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
information, your mobile phone number and a
memory in which you can store phone numbers
and messages.
With two SIM card slots, X503 allows you to
use two SIM cards or phone numbers on one
phone. If you select Dual SIM open on Settings >
SIM settings > Mode settings, you can set SIM1
and SIM2 to idle mode.

During charging, the battery symbol scrolls.
Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile
phone when the battery is fully charged will not
damage the battery. The only way to turn off the
charger is to unplug it, so it is advisable to use an
easily accessible power socket.
If you do not intend to use your phone for
several days, we recommend that you remove
the battery.

according to sequence. When you wish to input
the character, press the keys corresponding to
the required strokes according to sequence to

method in this phone classifies a Chinese
character into 5 basic strokes: (horizontal,

the stroke you need does not correspond to the
5 basic strokes, replace it with the special stroke
