Section 1: Getting Started
This section explains how to start using your phone by first
configuring your hardware, activating your service, and then
setting up your voice mail.
Setting Up Your Phone
Prior to use it is necessary to install both the battery and SIM into
their corresponding internal compartments. The microSD card
slot is also located in this same internal area.
1. Remove the battery cover by pressing down on the cover.
2. While applying pressure, slide the top portion up and away
from the silver, lower portion of the phone.
5
Installing the SIM Card
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided with
a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details, such as
your PIN, available optional services, and many others features.
Important!:
The plug-in SIM card and its contacts information can be easily
damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful when handling,
inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach
of small children.
䊳
Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (as
shown) until the card locks into place.
•
Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into the phone and
that the upper-left angled corner of the card is positioned as shown.
Note:
If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone does not detect the SIM
card. Re-orient the card back into the slot.
Installing the Memory Card
Your phone also supports the use of a memory card (microSD™)
for data storage of such things as data, music, pictures, and
video files. This type of memory card is designed for use with this
mobile phone and other devices.
