Your phone

Initial start up procedure

The micro-SIM card

To use your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card that is supplied by your GSM service provider. Your phone requires a micro-SIM card. The SIM card contains your subscription number and your GSM phone number. It also contains a memory in which you can store phone numbers and messages. If you use your SIM card on another phone, your phone number and your Names list remain the same.

L NOTE:

Your phone accepts plug-in micro SIM card only.

Inserting your subscriber card (micro SIM card)

(See page3).

Your PIN code and PUK code

When you switch on the phone, it asks you for the PIN code. The PIN code is the 4 to 8-digit secret code of the SIM card.

If you enter a wrong PIN code, you can try again. If you enter a wrong PIN code 3times, your SIM card is blocked.

You must then enter your PUK code to unblock the phone. This code will be given to you by your service provider. If you enter an incorrect PUK code ten times in a row the card will completely be blocked and be unusable. If this happens contact your service provider.

Your PIN2 code and PUK2 code

Depending on your SIM card, you may have some features on your phone that require you to enter a PIN2 code. This is a secret 4 to 8-digit code given to you by your service provider.

If you enter a wrong PIN2 code, you can try again. If you enter a wrong PIN2 code 3 times, your SIM card is blocked and you must enter the PIN2 unblocking code (PUK2) given to you by your service provider. If you enter an incorrect PUK2 code ten times in a row the card will be completely blocked and be unusable. If this happens contact your service provider.

Initial start up procedure

The battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery is not fully charged. Charge it by following the procedure on page13.

A battery is only fully charged after having been charged and then totally discharged two or three times.

The

b icon shows the level of charge in the battery. Each bar represents approximately 25%

of the maximum charge.

If the phone emits a warning signal (see page36), the red LED flashes and the display shows

Battery low, you should re-charge the battery.

The battery, attached to the phone or not, should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 60°C (e.g. behind glass in direct sunlight).

We advise you to keep the battery attached to the phone, even when discharged. The backup battery for the clock (inside the phone) will last longer.

We do not recommend to remove the battery when the phone is switched on: you may lose all your personal settings.

L NOTE:

Please refer to the information on battery safety, page51.

Clipping on the battery

(See page3).

Removing the battery

• Press the locking button located alongside the antenna while pushing the battery in the direction of the arrow as shown on the drawing.

• Remove the battery.

Initial start up procedure

Charging the battery

A charger is supplied with the phone, in the box.

• Clip the battery on the phone.

• Plug the charger into the phone connector.

• Plug the transformer unit into a mains AC power socket.

The

b symbol indicates the state of charge:

• During charging the 4 charge indicators change. If the first bar is dark, the battery already has a 25% charge.

• The bars darken one after another during charging.

• When all 4 bars are dark the battery is fully charged. A minimum of 2 hours charging is required to obtain a 90% charge with a Vibra battery (capacity: 1200 mAh) and 1.5 hours with the slim battery (capacity: 800 mAh). For the maximum charge continue charging.

• When the battery is charged, press the release button to the topside of the connector to remove it.

L NOTES:

1. You can turn your phone on and use it while it is charging.

2. The only way to turn the battery charger off is to unplug it from the mains outlet; for this reason use a mains

outlet with easy access.

3. You can connect the charger to an IT supply (Belgium only).

4. If the battery is completely flat, the battery icon will only reappear after 2 or 3 minutes of charging.

5. If you attempt to charge your phone with an invalid charger, your phone will refuse the charge. This will be

signified by:

- the flashing of the backlight every second

- the flashing of the battery fixed icon

- a continuous alert beep

- a message screen. This measure is designed to protect your phone. For best results, always use a Philips Authentic Accessory.

Acessory not compatible. Please unplug displayed on the
