Assembly
Before you start using your phone,
you need to insert a SIM card and
the battery.
SIM card
When you register as a subscriber with
a network operator, you get a SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card. The
SIM card contains a computer chip
that keeps track of items such as your
phone number, the services included
in your subscription, and names and
numbers in your contacts.
Save contact information on your SIM
card before removing it from another
phone; for example, contacts may
be saved in the phone memory.
PIN
You may need a PIN (Personal Identity
Number) for your SIM card to start
your phone and activate services.
When you enter your PIN, each digit
appears as *, unless your PIN starts
with the same digits as an emergency
number, for example 112. This allows
for emergency calls without entering
a PIN. Press to correct mistakes.
If you enter the wrong PIN three times in
a row, PIN blocked appears. To unblock
it, you need to enter your PUK (Personal
Unblocking Key) % 84 SIM card lock.
Battery

This mobile phone has different input
methods for entering Chinese
characters:
• Stroke input

General instructions
Regardless of which input method you
choose, your phone has a function to
speed up the entry of Chinese
characters. Whenever you enter
a stroke or a Pinyin letter, a candidate
row of the most frequently used
characters containing that stroke or
relating to that letter appears at the
bottom of the screen.
If the character you want is not displayed
in the candidate row, press to
present another candidate row.
Continue pressing until the character
you want is displayed. Alternatively,

letter and a new set of characters will
immediately be displayed in the
candidate row. To go back to the
previous row, press . To select
a character in the candidate row, press
the navigation key or press and hold
the key corresponding to the number
above the character you want to enter.

strokes, which are grouped into 5
stroke categories. Each category is
represented on the keypad by one of
the keys - . The Wild Card
key , is used when you are not
sure of which stroke to use.
The basic building units of Chinese
characters are components that are
made up of strokes. After entering
the first two strokes of the desired
character, the component and
character candidates that started
with that stroke are displayed in the
candidate row.
Using components is a fast method
for entering complex characters.
The smaller candidates surrounded by
dotted frames are components, and the
bigger candidates without dotted frames
are characters.
