1. Getting Started
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 telephone number, and a memory in
which you can store phone numbers and messages.
Inserting the SIM card
Follow the steps below to insert your new SIM
card. Remember to switch off your mobile phone
before removing the back cover.
Remove the back cover
To insert the SIM card, you must first remove the
back cover. Press on the button on the back cover
and then slide the cover downwards as shown in
the diagram.
6 Getting Started
Remove the battery
To remove the battery, pull up the battery from the
bottom right corner.
You may lose all your personal settings if you
remove the battery when the phone is switched
on.
Insert the SIM card
Insert your SIM card under the metal clip holder,
until it stops. Make sure that the clipped corner of
the SIM card is aligned with the clipped corner of
the SIM card slot and that the gold contacts of SIM
card are facing downwards.
Replace the back cover
Align and hook the back cover to the left side of the
phone and press down the back cover until it locks
into place with the right side of the phone.
Replace the battery
Slide the battery into its slot, metallic connectors
facing downwards, until it stops. Then lock it by
pushing it down.
Remove the protective film covering the screen
and the camera lens before using the phone.
Switching on the phone
To switch on the phone, long-press key. Enter
the PIN code if required. A PIN code is a 4- to 8digit secret code of your SIM card. It is
preconfigured and communicated to you by your
network operator or retailer.
If you enter an incorrect PIN code three times
in succession, your SIM card will be blocked. To
unblock it, you must request the PUK code from
your operator.
Getting Started 7
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
A new battery is partially charged and a sound alert
will be emitted when the battery level reaches low
(if the battery alert is set to On).
Once the battery and battery cover are back in
place, you can charge the phone. Plug in the
connector as shown below. Then plug the other end
into a power socket.
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge.
During charging, the charge indicators will scroll if
your phone is switched on; it takes about 2.5 hours
to fully recharge the battery. When all the scroll
bars are steady, the battery is fully charged. You can
then disconnect the charger.
Depending on the network and condition of use,
talk time goes up to 10 hours and stand-by time up
to 1 month.
*Depending on the network conditions, user
settings, method of use, etc the actual results
may differ.
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.
You can use the phone while it is charging. If
the battery is completely flat, the battery icon
will only reappear after a few minutes of
charging.
Inserting the micro-SD card
The maximum capacity of micro-SD that X800
can support is up to 8GB.
8 Getting Started
Remove the back cover
The micro-SD card slot is visible only when the
battery of the phone is removed.
Insert the micro-SD card
After the battery is removed, you can unlock the
micro-SD card slot by sliding it backward and lift it
up on its hinge. Insert the micro-SD card as
indicated below. Then close the card slot and slide
it into the locked position.
