EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where ammable materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or re resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service or gas stations. Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fuelling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

To insert a SIM card:
1. Press on the battery release latch and move the backside cover downward to open.

Installing the Mini SD card
Use only the Mini SD (Secure Digital) card for this phone device. You can install the Mini SD card to store images, video clips, music and other data on your phone.
To insert a Mini SD card:
1. Remove the back phone cover as shown on the previous page.
2. Slide the Mini SD card into the holder, with the gold-plated contact area facing down.
3. Push the card down and pull up the metal latch to secure it into place.
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion bat­tery. The battery will eventually wear out after a few hun­dred charges or discharges. Replace the battery through an authorized vendor when the operating time is noticeably shorter than usual.
NOTE: Please note that the time it takes for a battery to fully charge depends on the environment temperature at the time of charge; a completed charge normally takes about 3.5-4 hours under 0-10 degree temperatures, and below 3 hours for temperatures ranging from 20-45 degrees.
Mode Estimated battery life
Talk time 3.5 to 4 hours
GPRS 2 hours prox.
Standby 140 hours

Charge the new battery before using your phone for the rst time. When the low-battery indicator appears, save any unsaved data you are working on by synchronizing your phone with your PC or a Microsoft Exchange Server. Do not restart your phone until you have connected the device to an external power source.
NOTE: Do not leave your phone connected to a charger for longer than a week because overcharging can shorten a battery’s lifespan. Your battery will automatically discharge when the device is not in use. Leaving the battery in ex­tremely hot or cold places may also reduce its capacity or shorten its lifespan.
To charge your battery:
Your phone can be charged while switched on or off. Charge your battery by plugging the power cable to the mini USB connector at the base of the device, or by using the AC adaptor.

1.5 Navigating
This section discusses how to navigate through yo ur Smartphone’s screens in order to perform tasks quickly and easily.

1.6 Entering text and numbers
Your phone supports three input modes for entering text and numbers: Multipress, T9, and Numeric. The Multipress and T9 modes are used for entering text, and the Numeric mode for entering numbers. When you select a eld that requires text or numeric entry, the phone will automatically select the appropriate input mode. You can switch between the input modes when a text eld is displayed that requires text or number input by holding down the Asterisk (*) key on your keypad to choose the input mode until the status indicator for the input mode you want is displayed in the title bar. The status indicator on the title bar shows the input
mode you are currently using:
Multipress mode
When you are in Multipress mode, you can enter a letter by pressing the number key on which the letter appears. To enter the rst letter on the number key, press the key once, to enter the second letter, press the key twice quickly, and so on. The letter entered most recently is underlined until you have completed the keypresses for the letter and moved on to the next letter.
For example: To enter the word "hat," press 44, 2, 8.

When you enter letters that are on the same number key, you must pause after entering the rst letter and wait until the underline disappears before entering the next letter so your phone can process the rst letter. This pause is called the Multipress time-out, and you can adjust the length of the pause between keypresses.
For example: To enter the word "cat," press 222, pause, press 2, and then press 8. Press the # key to move a space.
To enter punctuation in Multipress mode, press 1 repeatedly until you see the punctuation mark that you want.
To change the Multipress time-out:
1. In the Home screen, select Start.
2. Select Settings and then Accessibility.
3. In the Multipress time-out eld, select the length of the pause between keypresses that you prefer.

T9 mode
When you are in the T9 mode, just press the number keys that contain the letters that you want to form a word. T9 will then analyze your keypresses and attempt to complete the word.
For example: To enter the word "shoe," press 7, 4, 6, 3.
To enter text in T9 mode:
1. Press and hold the * key until the input menu appears. Scroll down and choose “English.” The t9 indicator should appear at the top of the display.
2. Enter letters by pressing the keys on which the letters appear. Press a key only once for each letter.
3. Press the # key to accept the word and enter a space after it, or press the Down button on the Navigation Pad to scroll through the available words; press the Action button to accept the word choice.
4. Press 1 and then press the Up or Down button on the Navigation Pad to cycle through common punctuation symbols.
NOTE: T9 cannot always nd the word you want in the T9 dictionary. In these cases, switch to Multipress mode. After you have entered the word in Multipress mode, the word will be added to the T9 dictionary.
Numeric mode
When you are in the Numeric mode, just press the number(s) you want to enter on the keypad. If a eld permits a numeri­cal entry only, such as the Work phone eld in Contacts, the input mode will automatically default to Numeric mode.

1.7 Securing your phone
You can customize the level of security you want to have on your phone by locking the SIM card, the keypad, or the entire phone.

2. In the Lock phone after eld, select the amount of time you want your phone to be inactive before the it automatically locks.
3. In the Password eld, enter the password you want to use, to access your phone when it is locked.
4. In the Conrm password eld, enter the password again, then press the Done soft key.
To unlock your phone: Press the Unlock softkey, enter your password, and then press the Unlock softkey again.
To turn off phone lock: Select Settings > Security > Disable Phone Lock, enter your password, and then press the Done softkey.
NOTE: If you forget your password, there is a way to re­gain access to your phone, but you will lose all programs you installed. First, turn off your phone. Then press and hold down the Left Softkey (“Softkey 1”), the Right Softkey (“Softkey 2”), and the Power button, all at the same time. Continue to hold them down until a message appears and asks you if want to clear the memory.

There are several ways to make a call.
Making a call from the Home screen
When in the Home screen, press the numbers on the keypad to enter the phone number, and then press the Talk button to make the call. Press the Back button if you need to backspace over a digit.
As you enter a phone number, your phone searches Con- tacts, Call History, Speed Dial lists, and your SIM card, to nd a matching number. Matching names and numbers will be displayed. When you see the name of the person you want to call (or the entire number) displayed, select it and press the Talk button.
In this example, the rst few digits of a phone number have been entered. The names listed in this screen have all been found to have phone numbers that start with these digits. At this point, you can select the desired name without having to enter more numbers.
