3 Getting started

To use your phone, you must first insert the SIM card supplied by your service provider, and then charge the battery.
ζ Note: You cannot insert or remove the
SIM unless you remove the battery. If you need to remove the battery, press up on the tabs on the left side of the battery and lift out.
ζ Note: Always turn your phone off before
you insert or remove the battery.

Removing the back cover

Press down on the central area at the top of the back cover of the phone, and lift the cover off.

Inserting the SIM card

Slide the SIM into place, starting with the left edge first, making sure that the golden­colored contacts of the card are touching the contacts of the phone.
ζ Note: Keep all SIM cards out of small
children’s reach. The SIM card is easily damaged by scratches or bending, so be cautious when inserting and removing the card.

Inserting the battery

Insert the battery into the phone, starting with the right side first. Align the tabs on the edge of the battery with the tabs on the
Getting started
edge of the phone. Make sure the golden­colored contacts of the battery are touching the contacts on the phone. Push down into place.
If you need to remove the battery, press up on the tabs on the left side of the battery and lift out.
ζ Note: Always turn your phone off before
you insert or remove the battery.

Charging the battery

You must charge the battery for at least 12 hours before using the phone for the first time. After this, the battery will normally take around 2 to 3 hours to charge.
Insert the connector on the charger lead into the connector on the top left of the phone. Plug the charger into a wall socket. When charging commences, the battery icon will change into a charger cable icon. When the battery is fully charged, the battery icon will reappear and you can disconnect the charger.
Once you connect the charger, you can switch your phone on. If the battery is completely empty, it may take a few minutes before you can make or receive a call once you plug the phone into a charger.
ζ Note: When the battery is completely
discharged it may take some time for the battery charging icon to appear after you have connected the charger.

Charging and Discharging
Please observe the following notes and precautions regarding the use of batteries and related equipment.
Note
If you remove your battery you will find the phone’s label on the back portion of the phone. This label includes information about the phone, such as the model number.
Do not remove the phone’s label. In the unlikely event that you ever need to make a warranty claim or seek assistance with respect to use of your phone, you may be asked for this information.
Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The operation times provided are reasonable estimates and may be affected by network conditions, charging and phone usage.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
Use only batteries approved by Sendo and recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by Sendo. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected after the battery indicator shows that the battery is full, or for longer than a single day, since overcharging may shorten its life. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Note
For longer operation times, discharge the battery from time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off and the battery is fully discharged.
Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
Do not short circuit the battery. All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material such as jewelry or keys comes into contact with the exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling your phone battery. For example, avoid carrying your phone battery loose in a pocket or purse. This product is designed for use with Sendo-approved batteries only. Use of unapproved batteries may be dangerous and may cause damage to the battery or the phone and may void your warranty.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, may reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A phone with a battery that has been exposed to temperature extremes may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged.
Dispose of the battery properly. Comply with all local laws or regulations in disposing of your battery. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
