Activating your phone
Information on the SIM card
To use your phone, you need a card called SIM card. It contains
personal information that you cannot modify:
Secret codes (PIN(s): Personal Identification Numbers), these codes
allow you to protect access to your SIM card and phone.

Using your phone
Increase the efficiency of your phone
- Don't press the keys when not necessary: each keypress activates
the backlight, and uses much power.
- Don't activate too often the screensaver: a starting time too high
increases the power consumption.
- Don't obstruct the antenna with your fingers.
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery must
be charged for 4 hours at least before being used for the first time. It
reaches its optimum capacity after a few cycles of use.
When your battery has been discharged, the phone displays the state
(empty battery icon flashes). In this case recharge your battery for at
least 15 minutes before making any calls in order not to be cut off in the
middle of a call.
To recharge the battery:
Connect the charger to a socket.
Plug the end of the cable into the bottom connector of the phone.
The phone is then charging up. The battery icon is scrolling up and down
to indicate that it is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the
charging stops on its own. Disconnect the cable.
When charging, the battery may warm up, this phenomenon is normal.
WARNI NG
There is danger of explosion if the battery is placed in an incorrectly way or if it is exposed to fire.
Do not short circuit it.
The battery does not have any part that you can change.
Do not try to open the battery casing.
Use only the appropriate chargers and batteries as shown in the phone manufacturer's catalogue.
The use of other types of chargers or batteries may be dangerous or invalidate the warranty.
Used batteries must be disposed of in the appropriate places.
We advise you to take the battery out if you plan not to use the phone for extended periods.
You are strongly advised not to connect your phone to the charger if it doesn’t contain a battery.

Network
From now on the phone hunts for a network on which it can make calls.
If it finds one, it displays the name of the network on the screen. You are
then ready to send or receive a call.
If the network icon appears, calls are possible on your operator's network.
If the letter R and a network name are displayed, calls are possible on the network of a different operator.
If the letter R is displayed without any network name, only the emergency services are accessible
(ambulance, police, fire brigade).
If the network icon flashes, the phone is in permanent search mode. There is no network available. The
signal strength indicator received allows you to display the quality of reception. If it indicates less than
three bars, search for better reception in order to call in good conditions.
