RF Safety Information

The handset has an internal antenna located at the top of the phone. For
optimum performance with minimum power consumption do not cover the
antenna area with your hand. Hold the handset between thumb and finger in
the middle of the device. Covering the antenna affects call quality, may cause
the handset to operate at higher power level than needed, and may shorten
talk and idle times.

Radio Frequency Energy

The handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it
intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The
transmit power level is optimized for best performance and automatically
reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is only used at
the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power output
is very low. Under poor network conditions the phone transmits at a higher
power, may get hot and have a significantly shorter battery life.

1 Getting Started

1.1 Insert the (U)SIM Card

The (U)SIM card (UMTS Subscriber Interface Module) is the small plastic
smart-card with gold contacts. It holds account and contact information and can
be used to store text messages. It can be moved between different phones if
required.

Open the back cover using the thumb notch at the base of the handset:

Insert the (U)SIM card

If your handset displays:

Enter Handset unlock
code

The default code is 0000
Enter (U)SIM PIN Code

Enter the PIN supplied with your SIM card

No (U)SIM detected

Check the SIM is inserted correctly.

Enter PUK code

Contact your Service Provider

Insert the (U)SIM card as shown with the gold contacts facing down. Carefully
slide it under the bar observing the correct orientation.

1.2 Insert the battery

1. Insert the battery with the contacts located against the gold springs.

2. Press the battery down flush into the case

3. Line the battery cover up correctly and push gently to close.

1.3 Switch the phone On or Off

Press and hold the red key for two seconds to switch the phone ON or
OFF.
Enter (U)SIM PIN code – supplied with your (U)SIM card.

The home screen will be displayed after a few moments.

1.4 Charge your phone

Only use the AC charger and USB lead supplied.
Insert the charger lead carefully. Check the plug

and socket are aligned.

Do NOT use excessive force which may damage

the USB port.

Be careful to avoid tripping or pulling on the lead

whilst it is plugged in.

Damage to the USB port is NOT covered by

warranty.

The phone can also be charged by connecting it to

a computer using the USB lead supplied.

The phone can be charged in the ON or

OFF state

If the phone is off after charging press End Key to switch it back on.

1.5 Tips to maximise battery life

Do not leave the battery in a discharged state. Charge the battery promptly

when flat.

If the battery is in a deep discharge state it can take up to 30 minutes to start

charging. Leave it on charge to recover the battery.

Keep your handset and battery cool. High temperatures degrade the battery

more quickly. The battery will not charge when over 45°C

Normal charge time is 3-4 hours. Do not leave on charge for more than

24hrs.

After 2-3 charge / discharge cycles the battery life will improve. From then on

use top up charging to recharge frequently and always charge promptly
when flat.

When not using the phone for long periods charge to approx 40% and

remove the battery.

With poor network conditions (less than 2 bars) battery life is reduced.
Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to extend battery life.

1.6 How do I set the time and date?

The time and date is set automatically from the network. It takes a few

seconds to update when the phone is first switched on.

Select 12 or 24 hr by going to Menu > Settings > Handset > Network Time
To manually set the time go to Menu > Settings > Handset > Time and

Date
