Carefully slide the SIM card under the metal bracket and into the SIM card socket 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 below.
Note:
If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone does not detect the SIM card. Remove the battery and re-orient the card back into
the slot.
Inserting the Memory Card
Your phone supports an optional memory card (microSD™) for data storage of such things as music, pictures,
video or other files. This type of memory card is designed for use with this mobile phone and other devices.

Section 3: Wi-Fi
This section introduces you to T-Mobile Wi-Fi compatibility and provides information on Wi-Fi and instructions on
how to use this type of connection with your phone.
Introducing Your T-Mobile @Home Capable Phone
Your phone is capable of connecting to T-Mobile via Wi-Fi (wireless Internet broadband) and GSM (cellular towers).
When making voice calls or using data connections, your phone seamlessly transfers between Wi-Fi and GSM
connections, always using the network with the best signal strength.
Your T-Mobile Wi-Fi compatible phone is capable of the following:
•
Connect to Wi-Fi at Home
Connect to T-Mobile through Wi-Fi if you have a wireless router set up in your home. Refer to the Get Started Poster
(provided with your phone) and the User Manual for your wireless router for more information.
•
Connect to Wi-Fi while you're on the go
Connect to T-Mobile locations all across the U.S. without needing a T-Mobile username and password as
well as any open Wi-Fi access point.
•
Connect to GSM
Connect to the GSM network when Wi-Fi is not available or if you are not interested in connecting to Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi 24
Here's How it Works
Rather than using GSM radio as your phone normally would to connect to cellular towers, your T-Mobile Wi-Fi
compatible phone uses UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) technology to use a wireless broadband Internet
connection for your mobile phone services. This includes voice calls, mobile browsing, e-mail, Picture Messaging,
Text Messaging, and basically any mobile service for which your phone uses a network connection.
UMA technology offers fast, reliable connectivity using your mobile phone for virtually all of your communications.
UMA connects your mobile phone to your GSM/GPRS services through WLAN (802.11) and allows you to handle
calls, send and receive messages, and check your e-mail. This technology allows you to use your mobile phone in
all of the ways you normally do. The only difference with using UMA technology is that you are connecting through a
wireless broadband Internet connection (Wi-Fi).
What is Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a term that is used generically to refer to any product or service using any type of
802.11 technology. Wi-Fi networks operate in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz radio bands, operating at up to an 11 Mbps
(802.11b) or 54 Mbps (802.11g) data rate.
Wi-Fi enabled devices (laptops and PDAs as well as UMA phones) can send and receive data wirelessly from any
location equipped with Wi-Fi access. This is accomplished using wireless routers, installed within a Wi-Fi location. A
wireless router transmits an RF signal to Wi-Fi enabled devices that are within range of the router. Depending on the
particular router, its range is usually about 300 feet. The speed of the transmission is governed by the speed of the
internet connection fed into the wireless router.
What This Means to You
When you are not in range of a Wi-Fi connection, your normal cellular network takes over and keeps you connected.
Your phone switches automatically from Wi-Fi to cellular whenever it's necessary to maintain your connection,
whether your phone is in Idle mode or in the middle of an active call. The switching process is virtually unnoticeable.
Warning!:
9-1-1 Emergency Service available over Wi-Fi may be limited (it won’t work during electrical power or broadband outages).
Before using this phone to make calls over Wi-Fi, you MUST provide us with the primary street address where you will use TMobile @Home service, and you must furnish us with any address changes. Refer to T-Mobile’s Terms and Conditions for
other limitations and information.
25
Connecting to Wi-Fi for the First Time
Important!:
You must set up your wireless router first before using your phone to connect to Wi-Fi. For T-Mobile routers, run the CD
that comes with the router and follow its instructions. If you have a different router, follow its installation procedures and
confirm the router is set up properly.
1. Press and hold the key to power on your phone.
2. Your phone displays a tutorial prompt. Select Yes to run the brief tutorial.
3. At the end of the tutorial, your phone detects a Wi-Fi network and attempts to connect to it. If your router
requires a security key, it prompts you to enter it. For T-Mobile routers, select Get Security Key, which
automatically provides security keys for T-Mobile routers (see “Get Security Key” on page 34.)
If you have a T-Mobile router, select Ye s. This action acquires the security key or passphrase so that you are
not required to manually type it into your phone.
If you do not have a T-Mobile router, select No. You are then required to enter your key or passphrase.
If you are not sure what your key or passphrase (WEP or WPA encryption) is, please refer to your router
documentation. (For T-Mobile routers see “Get Security Key” on page 34.
4. Save the network when prompted. After the network saves to your Saved Networks list, you automatically
connect to that network each time you are within range. For more information, refer to “Saved Networks” on
page 30.
Wi-Fi 26
You are connected to your first Wi-Fi network and can begin making calls using Wi-Fi or your regular T-Mobile GSM
network.
To access all of the Wi-Fi features on your phone, go to Menu > Settings > Wi-Fi.
If the Tutorial does not display on your phone, see “Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks” on page 27.
Using Wi-Fi
Once set up for Wi-Fi connectivity, your phone automatically uses Wi-Fi, when available, for all your mobile phone
services. You simply use your phone in a normal manner; there is nothing special you need to do. Your phone
switches automatically between Wi-Fi and cellular whenever it's necessary to maintain your connection, whether
your phone is idle or on an active call. When connected to Wi-Fi, the signal bars change and the wireless network
name displays in the upper left of the idle screen as shown in the following illustration.
Wi-Fi signal bars
The signal bars are always visible when a call is active. The bars change correctly when you are on a call to indicate
which network you are on. The name of your network displays on the idle screen as seen here.
Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks
Connecting to Wi-Fi networks with your phone allows you to make calls using Wi-Fi. The following features were
designed to keep you connected to the networks you want:
•
View available networks
•
View saved networks that you use often
•
Find open networks quickly (Quick Connect)
