1. Getting Started

Please read the safety instructions in the “Precautions” section before using your phone.

About SIM cards

To use your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card supplied by your network 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, X710 allows you to use two SIM cards or phone numbers on one phone. You can access or choose to send calls and messages from the secondary SIM card, if you have set the secondary SIM card to active. Some functions are only available on the primary SIM card, such as those requiring GPRS, WAP, OTA services, the interactive data services, moving and copying messages between the phone and SIM card. To use such functions on a secondary SIM card, press RSwap SIM to change it to the primary SIM card, if necessary.

Insert SIM cards

Follow the steps below to insert your new SIM cards.Remember to switch off your mobile phone before removing the back cover.
1. Press on the back cover and slide the cover as shown.
2. As shown, take out the battery.
Getting Started 5
You may lose all your personal settings if you remove the battery when the phone is switched on.
3. As shown, align your SIM card with the SIM card slot, clipped corner facing you and gold contact downwards. Insert your SIM card under the metal clip holder.
Slot 1
Slot 2
4. As shown, align the metallic connectors on the battery and battery slot. Press the battery down until it is locked.
5. As shown, slide the back cover along the slots until it is locked.
Remove the protective film covering the screen before using the phone.
6 Getting Started

Charge the battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery is partially charged. The battery symbol indicates the state of the battery. To charge the battery, plug in the connector as shown below. Then plug the other end into a 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 symbol will only reappear after a few minutes of charging.

Set your SIM card slots

The first time you turn on your phone, you may need to set the two SIM card slots.
During charging, the battery symbol scrolls. It takes about 6 hours to fully recharge the battery. Depending on the network and condition of use, talk time goes up to 8.5 hours and stand-by time up to one month.
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.
To identify the two SIM cards, you can set different names, ringtones, message alerts, and icons for them.
1. Check the Slot 1 and Slot 2 for the SIM cards (see Step 3 in "Insert SIM cards").
2. Check that your phone is switched on.
