Network

The phone will now search for a network on which it can make calls. If it finds one, it displays the name of the network on the screen. You are then ready to send or receive a call.

If the network icon appears, calls are possible on your operator's network. If the the icon and a network name are displayed, calls are possible on the network of a different operator. If the the icon is displayed without any network name, only the emergency services are accessible (ambulance, police, fire brigade). If the network icon flashes, the phone is in permanent search mode. There is no network available. The received signal strength indicator displays the quality of reception. If it indicates less than three bars, search for better reception in order to call in good conditions.

First call

Dial the number of your correspondent. Press the key. During the call, the call in progress icon flashes on screen and tones may indicate the establishment of the call. Once communication has been established, the call icon stops flashing. You can adjust the sound level (volume) using the At the end of the conversation press the key to hang up.

Improving antenna performance

The antenna is integrated in your phone, under the lower part of the back cover.

Avoid putting your fingers on this area when the phone is switched ON. If your fingers obstruct the antenna, the phone may have to operate with a higher power level than usual, decreasing its efficiency quickly. It could also affect the quality of your communications.

Non ionising radiation

Use the phone in a vertical position. Your personal safety can only be improved by doing so.

Increase the efficiency of your phone

- Don't press the keys when not necessary: each keypress

activates the backlight, and uses power.

- Don't obstruct the antenna with your fingers.

- Activation of the Bluetooth® function reduces the life time of the

phone. We recommend you deactivate it when not in use.

Charging the battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery must be charged for 4 hours at least before being used for the first time. It reaches its optimum capacity after a few cycles of use. When your battery has been discharged, the phone displays the state (empty battery icon flashes). In this case recharge your battery for at least 15 minutes before making any calls in order not to be cut off in the middle of a call.

To recharge the battery:

- Pull out the small connector cover.

- Connect the charger to the socket.

- Plug the end of the cable into the phone connector.

The phone is starting charging. The battery icon is scrolling up and down to indicate that it is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the charging stops on its own. Disconnect the cable. Replace the connector cover. When charging, the battery may warm up, this phenomenon is normal. When you charge the battery, the socket on which the charger is plugged must be easily accessible.

Using your phone

WARNING

If the battery has entirely discharged, the phone cannot start. Plug the phone into the charger. The phone will switch on after a few minutes of charge. You can use the phone again when the screen.

WARNING

There is danger of explosion if the battery is placed in an incorrect way or if it is exposed to fire. Do not short circuit it. The battery does not have any part that you can change. Do not try to open the battery casing. Use only the appropriate chargers and batteries as shown in the phone manufacturer's catalogue. The use of other types of chargers or batteries may be dangerous or invalidate the warranty. Used batteries must be disposed of in the appropriate places. We recommend you to take the battery out if you plan not to use the phone for extended periods. You are strongly advised not to connect your phone to the charger if it doesn’t contain a battery. The charger is a safety step-down transformer, it is forbidden to modify, alter or replace it by another component (power supply plug, etc). If the battery has entirely discharged, the phone cannot start. Plug the phone to the charger. The phone will switch on after a few minutes of charge. You can use the phone again when the Start option is displayed on the screen.
