Getting Started
Installing the SIM Card
When you subscribe to your service provider’s network, you are
provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription
details, such as your PIN, any optional services available and so
on.
Note:
The plug-in SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged
by scratches or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting or
removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of the reach of small
children.
1. If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down the key
until the power-off image is displayed.
2. Remove the battery. To do so:
● Pull the catch above the battery toward the top of the phone
and hold it in that position.
● Lift the battery away, as shown.
3. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket so that it locks the
card into position. Make sure that the notched corner is top left
and the gold contacts of the card face into the phone.

4. Place the battery back, taking care to match the tabs on the
battery with the grooves on the phone.
5. Press the battery down until it clicks into place. Make sure that
the battery is properly installed before switiching on the power.
Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A

You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for
the first time. A discharged battery is fully recharged in
approximately 200 minutes.
1. With the battery in position on the phone, plug the connector of
the travel charger into the jack at the bottom of the phone.
2. Plug the charger into a standard AC wall outlet.
3. When charging is finished, unplug the charger from the power
outlet and from the phone by pressing the gray tabs on both
sides of the connector and pulling the connector out.

regular intervals on the display. When the battery level gets
