1. Inserting the SIM card
3
You wanted a mobile phone that’s sophisticated yet easy to use.
Before you start using it, you need to insert the SIM card.
The SIM card lives under the battery. Here’s how to insert it:
• Ensure that the phone is switched off and the charger is disconnected
from the bottom of the phone.
• Turn the phone over and push the button in.
• Remove the back cover by sliding it downwards.
• If the battery is already inside remove it.
• Slide your SIM card into its holder. Make sure that the gold contacts of
the SIM are facing down, and the cut-off edge is correctly aligned.
• Replace the battery first.
• Replace the back cover, placing it over the battery and sliding it upwards until it clicks into place.

Your mobile phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. This needs to
be charged for at least 4 hours before you can make your first call.
Charging the battery
• Plug the charger into the mains and the mobile phone.
• The phone is now charging. The battery icon moves from left to right.
• When the icon stops moving and the percentage of charge on the
“Home” screen shows 100% the battery is fully charged. The external
screen will show 4 bars, to show it is fully charged.
Charging cradle
You can always check the battery icon to see how much power you have
left. When it’s red (on the “Home” screen) you know it’s time to recharge. You will also see a message on the screen when you need to
recharge it.
When you are at home, just sit the mobile phone in the charging cradle
and plug it into the mains. That way your phone will always be charged
when you need it and you will always be able to find it.
Please ensure that the oval symbol on the plug is uppermost when you
insert the cable into the charging cradle.

3. So what do all these
buttons do?
In the centre of the keypad you’ll see three special keys, each of which
has a dedicated function. Basically this means less searching through
menus.
Functions of the keys

you see when you switch on the mobile phone.
2 Contacts – Opens your phone book where you keep the details of
your family and friends.
3 Log – Just press this key and you can access your voice messages
from your Mailbox (your answering machine, which Swisscom Mobile
calls the COMBOX
®
), text messages, missed calls, and reminders.
On the left side of the mobile phone you’ll see the side key,
which performs different functions
4
Ringer Setting – Easily set the ringer to loud, normal, vibrate or
silent.
4 Volume – You can use the same key while you are in a call to adjust
the volume.

What notifications can I receive on the external screen?
When you receive a notification, such as an incoming call, this will be
displayed on the external screen. This can be useful if you want to know
who is calling. The screen will also indicate when you’re making outgoing calls.
Incoming calls – When you receive an incoming call, you will receive
a notification on the screen and a green light will flash. If the caller
ID is unknown, the number will be displayed. If the caller’s number is
stored in the phone book, their name will be displayed.
New event – When you receive a text message, a voice message or
missed call, an icon will be displayed on the screen and the light will
flash blue. The external screen will also display alarm notifications and
even special events such as birthdays.

There are some phone numbers you’ll want to call again and again so it
makes sense to add these to your phone book. Then you can access
them easily.

(2).
• Enter a name using the number keys and press “OK” to confirm it.

a phone call, or a text message from someone who is not yet in your
phone book.
• A prompt will come up asking if you want to save that number in
your “Phone book”. Simply click on “Yes” and enter a name to go
with the number.
• To delete someone from your phone book first select the name then
choose “Delete Contact”.

The most basic way to make a call is to key in the number and press the
green “Start” key. One advantage of a mobile phone is that you can
also store people’s names and numbers in your mobile phone book and
call them more easily.
To call someone
• With the “Contacts” key (it’s the one with people on it) you can access your phone book. Use the “Up/Down” key to find the name
of the person you want to call. You can also type in the first letter of
the name of the person you want to call.
• Now simply press the green “Start” key.
• End the call by pressing the red “Stop” key or by closing the flap.
• Make sure you are in an area with sufficient coverage to make calls.
The strength of the network is indicated on the “Home” screen.

calls

To answer a call
• To answer a call, you must open the flap and press the green “Start”
key. Opening the flap alone will not answer a call.
You can also make a hands-free call using the speakerphone. To do this:
• Dial the number.
• Press the green “Start” key.
• Activate the hands-free speaker functionality by selecting the Speaker
command which will appear on your screen.
You can receive and make calls when the phone is sitting in the charging cradle.

You might think text messaging is difficult. But it’s also great at times
when you can’t (or don’t want to) speak to someone – you just send
a text message.
To do this
• Press the “Contacts” key (1) to open your phone book.
• Select the person you want to text. (If that person is not in your phone
book, why not add the contact now? See section 4 on page 9 for
details.)
• Choose “Text”.
• Write your message using the number keys*. Each key shows several
letters.
• Press the key once to select the first letter, twice to select the second
letter and so on.
• Press the “#” key
(2) to access punctuation and special symbols.
• Press the “0” key to insert a blank space.
• Press the “Clear” key to correct mistakes.
• When you’re happy with the message go to “Options” and select
“Send”.
• You can take your time writing a message as you will not be charged
until the message is sent.
* Predictive text is also available on this mobile phone. To change from non-predictive to
predictive text press the “*” key
(3).

• Press the “Log” key, then select the message and open it.
• Once you have read a text message and pressed “OK”, the message
