Preparing Your Phone for Use 5

You need to do the following to use your phone:

•insert the SIM card

•attach the battery to the phone

•charge the battery

When you register as a subscriber with a network operator, you get a

SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card contains a

computer chip that keeps track of your phone number, the services

included in your subscription, and your Phone Book information,

among other things.

SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card, and the

other is smaller. Your phone uses the smaller card. Many credit card-

sized SIM cards have a perforated smaller card that you can take out

easily. Before you can use your phone, you must insert the SIM card

as shown below.

Removing the SIM Card

The PIN

Most SIM cards are supplied with a security code or PIN (Personal

Identity Number), which you need to access the network. Every time

you turn on your phone, it prompts you to enter your PIN. You will

find your PIN in the information from your operator.

You may need your PIN when you want to change settings in your

phone. Furthermore, some operators may have services that require a

second PIN, your PIN2.

You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your protection

against unauthorized use of your subscription.

If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card is

blocked. If this happens, you can unlock it by using your PUK (Per-

sonal Unblocking Key code), which you also get from your operator.

Your phone comes with a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The

battery is not charged when you buy your phone, but there may be

enough power to turn the phone on. We recommend that you charge

the battery before you use the phone for the first time.

THE BATTERY

2. Lift the top of the SIM card

and push the card out of the

slot.

1. Remove the battery (if

attached).

Attaching the Battery to your Phone

When to Charge the Battery

The nickel metal hydride battery that comes with your phone can be

charged whenever you wish, without affecting its performance. This

is not the case with the cheaper nickel cadmium type batteries, often

sold as accessories by other suppliers. For the best talk and standby

time in the long run, we recommend that you use only Ericsson origi-

nal batteries with your phone.

To remind you that you will soon need to charge the battery or

replace it with a charged one:

•an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the message

Battery low

appears for ten seconds in the display – the signal is repeated sev-

eral times,

•the indicator light on top of the phone starts flashing red.

Note! The phone turns itself off when the battery can no longer power

it satisfactorily.

•Place the battery on the back of the phone and push until you hear

a click.

8 Preparing Your Phone for Use

Charging the Battery

To indicate charging:

•the battery meter in the display pulses continuously,

•the indicator on top of the phone shows a steady red light (or

green, if the phone is turned on).

When the battery is fully charged, the battery meter in the display is

full and the indicator on top of the phone shows a steady green light.

Tip! You can use the phone while the battery is being charged. How-

ever, this increases the charging time.

Disconnecting the Charger

3. Connect the charger to the

phone as shown in the pic-

ture. The flash symbol on the

phone side plug must face

upwards.

1. Make sure that the battery is

attached to the phone.

2. Connect the charger to the

mains.

•Bend the plug connected to the phone upwards and pull it out.
