6 Preparing Your Phone for Use

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.

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.

You may need your PIN when you want to change settings in your phone. Fur-

thermore, 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.

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

a charged one:

THE BATTERY

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

8 Preparing Your Phone for Use

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

Battery low

appears

for ten seconds in the display. The signal is repeated several 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 satis-

factorily.

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. However, this

increases the charging time.

3. Connect the other end of the

cable 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.
