Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM card before you remove it from another phone. For example, phonebook entries may be saved in the phone memory. For instructions on copying your SIM card information to your phone, see “Phonebook” on page 28.

Assembly

Before you can use your phone you need to:

Insert the SIM card.

Attach and charge the battery. See “SIM card and battery information” on page 4.
