About the SIM card

This phone connects to GSM networks through a Subscriber Identity Module card that you get from your cellular service provider. The SIM card carries information about your wireless account.

Observe these important considerations:

• Keep all SIM cards out of the reach of small children.

• The SIM card and its contacts are easily damaged by scratches or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card.

• Always disconnect power from the phone before removing or inserting the SIM card.

Some important considerations:

• Charge the handset for 12–15 hours before using it.

The optional back-up batteries provide a reserve power supply so the base can operate for up to 30 minutes (depending on battery condition) in case of power outages or if power is cut off to the base for any reason. Backup power activates immediately when the normal power supply to the base is cut off.
