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.

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.

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.

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!

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.)

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.
