1.1.3 Using the battery
In actual use, the standby time and talk time of the mobile phone
vary according to network status, working environment and different
usage.
1.2 SIM card
Your network operator will provide you a SIM card, which is the key
for your access to the GSM digital network. Prior to using the
phone, you need to insert the SIM card into the mobile phone.
All relevant information concerning the network connection will be
recorded on the SIM card. The SIM card can be removed from your
mobile phone and be used in any other GSM mobile phone (the
new mobile phone will automatically read the SIM card).
In order to prevent loss and damage to the information on the card,
you should avoid touching the metal area and keep it away from
electricity and magnets. If the SIM card becomes damaged, it will
no longer register with the GSM network.

each time when you power on the mobile phone to unlock the SIM
card for normal use. Users can disarm the SIM card protection but
illegal use of the SIM card cannot be prevented.
If the PIN code is entered incorrectly three consecutive times, the
SIM card will be locked by the network. The mobile phone will ask
for the PUK code which will be provided by your network operator.
If the PUK code is entered incorrectly 10 times, the SIM card will be
permanently barred.
