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 subscrip-

tion, 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.

3. Pull out the SIM card.1. Remove the battery (if attached).

6 Preparing Your Phone for Use

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 infor-

mation from your operator.

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 (Personal

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.

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 recom-

mend that you use only Ericsson original batteries with your phone.

a charged one:

Preparing Your Phone for Use 7

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

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

factorily.

Charging the Battery

To indicate charging:

•the battery meter in the display pulses continuously.

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

Tip! You can use the phone while the battery is being charged. However, this

increases the charging time.

Disconnecting the Charger

3. Connect the charger to the phone

as shown in the picture. The flash

symbol on the 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.

8 Preparing Your Phone for Use

Removing the Battery

3. Lift the battery up and away from

the battery.

and Off

•Press and hold the NO (ON/OFF) key until you hear a click.

If “Enter PIN” Appears in Display

Some SIM cards are protected with a PIN code. If

Enter PIN

appears in the dis-

play after you have turned on the phone, do this:

1. Enter your PIN. If you make a mistake while entering your PIN, erase the

wrong digit by pressing the CLR key.

2. Press YES.

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

blocked. You can unblock it by using your PUK, see “Security for Your Phone

and Subscription” on page 47.

Network Search

After you have turned on the phone (and entered your PIN), the Ericsson logo

appears in the display and the phone searches for a network.

When a network is found, the phone beeps three times. The indicator light on

the top of the phone flashes green once every second and your network opera-

tor’s name (in most cases abbreviated) appears in the display.

This is called standby mode. You can now make and receive calls.

The first time you turn on your phone, you may want to change the language

in the display, choose the ring signal type and set the clock. For more informa-

tion about these settings, see “Personalizing Your Phone” on page 31.

Display Language

Most modern SIM cards automatically set the display language to the lan-

guage of the country where you bought your SIM card. If this is not the case,

the default language is English. To change the display language, see “Display

Language” on page 34.

10 Turning Your Phone On and Off

If your phone displays a language you do not understand, you can change it to

English.

To change the display language to English

1. Press the CLR key.

2. Press the LEFT arrow key.

3. Enter 0000.

4. Press the RIGHT arrow key.

Normally, the name of a network appears in the display after you have turned

your phone on, but sometimes there is no network that you can use. The dis-

play then shows one of the following:

112 only

If the message

112 only

is displayed, you are within range of a network, but you

are not allowed to use it. However, in an emergency, some operators allow

you to call the international emergency number 112. See “Making Emergency

Calls” on page 15.

No network

If the message

No network

is displayed, there is no network within range or the

received signal is too weak. You have to move to get a stronger signal.

•In standby mode, press and hold the NO (ON/OFF) key until you hear a

click.
