• Install the included battery.

• Install a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card.

• Charge the V660’s battery.

1 WARNING: NEVER expose the battery to

high temperatures (such as fire or
prolonged direct sunlight), short-circuit it or

V660 Quick Start Guide

3.1 Installing the Battery and a SIM Card

This section describes how to install the battery that came
with your V660, and how to install a SIM (Subscriber Identity
Module) card. A SIM card allows you to make and receive
cellphone calls with the V660. If you do not want to install a
SIM card now, you can still use the V660’s other features
once the battery is installed.

" Fully charge the battery before you first use the

V660. This may take 8 to 10 hours. When you
first charge the battery, use the included charger
and NOT the USB cable. The power supplied
from a computer’s USB port is not enough to
fully charge the battery. Use the charger instead
of the USB cable whenever possible.

1 Remove the V660’s battery cover. Press the grooved area

at the top of the cover, slide the cover downwards
(towards the V660’s base) and lift it off.

2 Install a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. If you do

not want to install a SIM card now, skip to step 3.

6

V660 Quick Start Guide

The V660’s SIM card slot is located inside the battery
hatch. Slide the SIM card into the receptacle as shown, so
that the card’s contacts (the metal areas) are touching the
V660’s contacts.

3 Remove any packaging material from the battery. Insert

the top end of the battery into the battery hatch so that its
contacts (the metal areas) are touching the V660’s
contacts.

Ensure that the + and - symbols on the battery line up with
those on the V660.

7

V660 Quick Start Guide

4 Press the battery’s bottom end down until it clicks into

place.

" Do not force the battery into place. If it does not

fit in the battery hatch, it is wrongly aligned.

5 Replace the battery cover.

" To remove the battery, insert a fingernail under

the small lip at the bottom of the battery, press
the battery forwards (towards the V660’s top)
and lift it out.

3.2 Charging the Battery

The V660 uses a rechargeable lithium (Li-ion) battery. Charge
the battery using the included charger or the USB cable to
connect to a computer (see your User’s Guide). Both cables
connect to the V660’s USB/Recharge port.

8

V660 Quick Start Guide

1 WARNING: Use only the charger that came

with your V660. Using a different type of
charger might damage the V660 or its
battery.

Do the following to recharge the V660’s battery using the
included charger:

1 Insert the USB end of the charger cable into the USB/

Recharge port.

2 Connect the charger’s plug to a power socket. Turn the

power on.

3 The Operation LED comes on after a few seconds.

4 If the V660 is turned off, the LCD screen shows a battery

icon and then goes blank. If it is turned on, a icon
appears at the top of the screen.

V If the Operation LED does not come on, check

your connections and ensure the power supply
is switched on. If the problem persists, you may
have a faulty cable. Contact your vendor.

4 When you want to end the call, press the End key.

12

V660 Quick Start Guide

that your V660 has a cellular signal (look at the
Status Bar). If the V660 has a signal but you
still cannot make a call, contact your cellular
service provider.

6 Connecting to a Wireless Access Point

that you entered the AP’s settings correctly. The
V660 and the AP must use exactly the same
security settings. Turn the V660 off and on.
Check that the AP is on. If the problem persists,
you may be out of the AP’s coverage area.

7 Making Internet Phonecalls

VoIP (Voice over IP) allows you to make phonecalls over the
Internet. SIP is the protocol the V660 uses to make VoIP
calls. Before you can use the V660 to make VoIP calls, you
need:

• An active account with VoIP service provider that uses SIP.

• A wireless connection between the V660 and an Access
Point (AP). See section 6 for more information.

Do the following to set up your VoIP account on the V660.

1 From the Home screen, click Start > Settings > WiFi > SIP

Phone.

memory card if you want to increase your V660’s storage
capacity for pictures, movies, sound clips, and so on.

You can also store data on the memory card, remove it from
the V660, and read the data on another compatible device.

• To install a memory card, locate the T-Flash port on the left
side of the V660. Lift the protective cover and insert the card
with the contacts (the metal areas) facing up.

Flash port’s cover. Press the release lever (use a pencil or
other slim object if necessary) to push the card out of the
port.
