CHARGING YOUR BATTERY

The phone battery is partly charged when
you buy the phone. When you connect the
phone to a power source, it may take a few
minutes before the battery icon appears on
the screen. You can still use your phone while
it is charging.

NOTE:The battery will start to discharge a little after it is
fully charged and then charges again after a certain time.
This is to extend battery life and may result in the charge
status showing a level below 100 percent.

POWERING YOUR PHONE ON/OFF

It’s important to fully charge the battery
before turning on your phone.

1. Press and hold down the key on the
top of the phone.

2. If your screen goes dark, press briefly
to activate the screen.

3. To unlock the screen, drag the screen lock
icon across the screen.

4. Enter your SIM card PIN, when requested,
and select OK.

NOTE: Your SIM card PIN is initially supplied by your network
operator, but you can change it later from the Settings menu.
To correct a mistake made while entering your SIM card PIN,
press

FIRST STEPS

INSTALLING (OR REMOVING) YOUR BATTERY

When you remove the back cover, memory
card will become inaccessible until you put
the back cover back on, at when the memory
card will become accessible again. Please
make sure to put the back cover back on
tight and fully after its removals so that
you can access the memory card again once
the back cover is put back on.

1. Insert the tip of your finger or a thin
object firmly into the opening on the
bottom side of the phone, between the
phone and the battery cover. Do not use
sharp objects that may damage parts of
the phone. Then lift up the cover slowly.

2. Insert the battery with the connectors
facing each other.

3. Place the cover over the back of the
phone so that the camera lens hole in the
cover is aligned with the camera lens.

4. Press down gently on all edges of the
battery cover to make sure it gets
