Getting Started

To remove the SIM card

Press the edge of the SIM card to release it from the slot.

When you enter your PIN, each digit appears as *, unless your PIN starts with the same digits as an emergency number, for example 112. The reason for this is to always let you make emergency calls without entering a PIN.

If you make a mistake while entering your PIN, delete the number by pressing .

If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked and the message PIN blocked appears. To unblock it, you need to enter your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) %68 SIM Card Lock.

Battery

Some functions use more battery power than others and may cause a need for more frequent recharging. If talk time or standby time becomes noticeably shorter, you may have to replace the battery. Only use approved batteries from Sony Ericsson
