Getting Started

Inserting the SIM Card

Your SIM card contains a computer chip with your service details and phone number. The SIM card should be kept secure in the same way as a credit card. Also, do not bend, scratch or expose it to moisture, and protect it from contact with static electricity.

Important

To avoid corrupting the memory of the SIM card, always switch off your phone before removing or inserting your SIM card.

1 Remove the battery pack.

2 Slide the SIM card holder to the left to

unlock and lift up the tray. Slide the SIM card into the tray. (You can also find a brief explanation on the SIM card holder.)

3 Close the tray with the SIM card inserted

until it is locked.

4 Replace the battery pack.

Note

Position the SIM card with the gold contacts facing up and the angled corner to the upper left as you insert it into the SIM card holder.

To remove the SIM card

Follow steps 1 to 4 above, removing the SIM card from the tray in step 3.

Inserting the Battery Pack

1 Unwrap the battery pack.

2 Press the battery pack firmly into place

and check that it snaps closed.

To remove the battery pack

First turn the power off and wait until the display goes blank. Press the battery release hook down and remove the battery.

Warning

• If the battery is removed from the phone at constant temperature for approx. 3 days, the clock will be reset.

• Do not remove the battery pack from the phone when the power is on. Doing so may cause settings or data to be deleted or changed.

Charging the Battery Pack

As supplied, your battery pack will not be fully charged. You can select one of the following three ways to charge the battery pack:

1 Directly connect the phone to the AC

adaptor.

Getting Started

2 Use the desktop holder to charge the

battery pack:

To mains

3 Charge the battery independently.

Make sure that the back of the battery (the side with the label) is facing towards you. Align the battery with the desktop holder and insert the battery pack all the way to the end until it is locked.

To mains

Charging indicator on the battery pack

A red light comes on when charging starts. The light turns green, after about 3 hours, when charging is complete. But, it may vary depending on certain conditions e.g. If your phone is switched on or temperature is beyond operational range. As an energy saving measure, disconnect the AC adaptor from the mains socket and from the phone after charging.

The battery icon on the display indicates charging status. When the battery is almost completely charged, the battery icon shows all bars. However, this display shows a minimal criterion only, check the indicator on the battery pack (refer to the above) to confirm whether or not the battery pack is fully charged.

Important

• If the red light on the battery pack blinks, reconnect the AC adaptor and reinsert

the phone (or the battery pack). If you repeat this process several times and the indicator continues blinking, the battery pack might be defective. Stop charging the battery pack immediately and replace it.

• Use only the Sony-specified CMD-Z5 battery pack and charger. Your battery is

equipped with short circuit protection. If you short your battery accidentally, charge the battery immediately to unlock the short circuit protection.

Usage time

When your battery pack is nearly discharged the battery icon on the display blinks and the phone beeps to inform you that only a short amount of calling time remains.

Switching on Your Phone

To switch your phone on/off, keep pressed.

Entering PIN

For security reasons, your SIM card may be protected with a Personal Identification Number (PIN), which is supplied with your SIM card. Enter your PIN with the keys (the PIN appears in code as

) and press the Jog Dial (or ) to confirm your entry. If you do not enter a PIN code, your phone will automatically switch off after approximately 2 minutes. It is possible to disable the PIN code prompt (see “Menu Operations-Settings-Security” page 62).

Note

If the Personal lock has been set, there are some cases that you need to additionally input the security code.

Warning

You only have 3 attempts to enter the correct PIN. After the third attempt, your SIM is blocked and you must enter your PUK code (Personal Unblocking Key). (see also “Troubleshooting” page 75). If necessary, you can obtain your PUK code from your Network Operator/Service Provider.

Emergency calls

Emergency calls (112, 999, etc.) are possible when you have network coverage and a valid registered SIM inserted in the phone (even if the keys are locked). The support of this feature depends on the Network Operator.

Getting Started

Connecting to the Network

After successfully entering your PIN code, your phone searches for an available GSM network. The network search is automatic, but may take a few seconds (see also “Menu Operations-Settings-Preferences” page 60).

You are ready to make and receive calls when the Network Operator's name appears on the display.

The following indicates the strength of the received network signal. If the signal is very weak, there is a risk of losing service.

Strong signal Weak signal No service

If you cannot obtain service

One reason for failure to obtain network service is that the reception strength may be too weak. Try moving to a higher elevation, to a window or open space. Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the antenna.

Roaming

If you are out of range of your “Home” Network Operator, especially when you are abroad, another Network Operator may be selected automatically, subject to signal strength and roaming agreements between Network Operators. Contact your Network Operator/Service Provider for details.

Basic Operation
