Getting Started
Note: In this User Manual, “press a key”

Battery
The included lithium ion battery can be used
immediately after unpacking.
Installing the Battery
1. Remove the battery cover by turning the

the upper portion of the battery cover, and

the battery slot.

upward motion until you hear a click.
Removing the Battery
1. Make sure that your mobile phone is
switched off.
2. Remove the battery cover as directed.
3. Pull the battery up and remove it from
the mobile phone.
Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable
lithium ion battery. For maximum battery
performance, it is recommended that you
fully discharge the initial charge and then
charge it completely. A new battery’s full
performance is achieved only after three
complete charge and discharge cycles.
1. Connect your travel adapter to the
side of your mobile phone as shown in
the diagram.
2. The battery charging indicator will
appear.
3. Once the battery is fully charged,
disconnect the charger.
Battery charging time
Your battery can be fully charged in three
hours. Do not charge your battery for more
than six hours.
Inserting the SIM Card
Before you can begin operation of your
mobile phone, you need to insert the
SIM card that was provided by AT&T. Full
functionality of your device can only be
ensured when the AT&T SIM card is
inserted properly.
Insert the SIM card as follows:
1. Make sure that the phone is switched
off and the charger is disconnected from
the phone.
2. Turn the phone over and remove the
battery cover.
3. Remove the battery if it is already
installed.
4. Hold your SIM card with the cut corner
oriented as shown on the handset. Slide
it into the card holder with the goldcolored contacts facing downward.
5. Replace the battery.
6. Replace the battery cover.
What is a SIM card?
Your mobile phone has a Subscriber Identity
Module (SIM) card. This is a microchip that
holds your personal information, such as
names and phone numbers. Your phone
will not function properly without it. If you
already have contacts on your SIM card,
they can be transferred in most cases.
