SIM card
The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, which you get from your network operator,
contains information about your subscription. Always turn off your phone and detach the
charger before you insert or remove the SIM card.
You can save contacts on the SIM card before you remove it from your phone.
PIN
You may need a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to activate the services and functions
in your phone. Your PIN is supplied by your network operator. Each PIN digit appears as
*, unless it starts with emergency number digits, for example, 112 or 911. You can see and
call an emergency number without entering a PIN.
If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked. See SIM protection on
page 65.
Standby
After you have turned on your phone and entered your PIN, the name of the network
operator appears. This view is called standby. Your phone is now ready for use.
Using other networks
Making and receiving calls, using messaging, and data transfer, for example, Internetbased services, outside your home network (roaming), may incur additional costs. Contact
your operator for more information.

Supported services and features
Some of the services and features described in this User guide are not supported by all networks

The phone battery is partly charged when you buy it.

Remove the charger by tilting the plug upwards.
Maximising battery performance
•
Charge your phone often. The battery lasts longer if you charge it frequently.
•
If you are in an area with no coverage, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks.
This consumes power. If you cannot move to an area with better coverage, turn off your
phone temporarily.
•
Turn off 3G, Bluetooth wireless technology and Wi-Fi™ when you do not need these
functions.
•
Do not cover the phone antenna when you are engaged in a call.
Antennas
Avoid touching the antenna area unnecessarily while the antenna is transmitting or
receiving. For example, avoid touching the phone antenna during a phone call. Also avoid
covering your GPS antenna when you are using the GPS. Contact with a transmitting or
receiving antenna affects the quality of the radio communication, may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed, and may reduce battery life.
