You wanted a mobile phone that’s sophisticated yet easy
to use and here it is in your hands! Naturally you’re eager
to start using it, but first you need to insert the SIM card.

How 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 lock
button upwards.
• Remove the back cover by lifting the
bottom end first.
• If the battery is already inside remove it.
• Hold your SIM card with the cut corner
oriented as shown and then slide it into
the card holder face down.
• Replace the battery first.
• Replace the back cover clicking
in the top edge then the lower end
and push the catch downwards into
the locked position.

What is a SIM card?
Every mobile phone has a SIM card.
(Subscriber Identity Module). This is
a microchip that holds your personal
information such as your phone number,
and the names and numbers of your
friends and family. Your phone won’t
work without it. If you already have
contacts on your SIM card these can
be transferred across in most cases.

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. This needs
to be charged for at least 4 hours before you can make
your first call. Ready? Charge!

Charging the battery
• Plug the charger into the mains
and the phone.
• The phone is now charging. The battery
icon moves from left to right.
• When the icon stops moving and the
percentage of charge shows 100%
the battery is fully charged.
• Disconnect the charger.
How to charge the battery

When you are at home, just sit the 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.
You can always check the battery icon to
see how much power you have left. When
it’s red you know it’s time to recharge. You
will also see a message on the screen
when you need to recharge it.
Recharge for at least 15 minutes before
making another call so your phone doesn’t
cut out in the middle of a call! (Your battery
has a standby time of up to 12 days or you
can make calls of up to 4 hours before
recharging again).

each of which has a dedicated function. Basically this means
less searching through menus.
So what do all these buttons do?
