Assembly

To use your cell phone

1 Insert the SIM card and the battery. 2 Charge the battery. 3 Turn on your cell phone.

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 cell phone; for example, contacts may be saved in the phone memory.

You may need a PIN (Personal Identity Number) for your SIM card to start your cell phone and activate services. When you enter your PIN, each digit appears as *, unless the 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) % 80 SIM Card Lock.

Battery

Some functions use more battery power than others and may cause a need for more frequent re-charging. If talk time or standby time become noticeably shorter, you may have to replace the battery. Only use approved batteries from Sony Ericsson % 91 Battery.
