Getting started 1

1 • Getting started

Read the safety instructions in the "Precautions" section

before use.

To use your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card

supplied by your GSM operator or retailer. The SIM

card contains your subscription, your mobile number,

and memory in which you can store phone numbers

and messages (see “Contacts” page 16).

Press on the back cover of your phone as shown

below and slide it downwards to remove it.

If needed, remove the battery: press the inner

clip downwards, then remove the battery by

pulling it from the bottom.

Remove the SIM card from its holder and insert

it under the metal clip holder, until it stops. Be

careful that the clipped corner of the card is in

the correct corner.

Slide the battery into its slot, metallic connectors

downwards, until it stops. Then lock it by

pushing it down downwards.

Insert the SIM card

Replace the back cover by sliding it into its slots,

until it stops, then remove the protective film

covering the screen and the camera lens before

using the phone.

To switch on the phone, press the

)

key. Enter the

PIN code if required (i.e. the 4 to 8-digit secret code

of your SIM card). It is preconfigured and

communicated to you by your operator or retailer. To

personalise the PIN code, see page 43.

If you enter a wrong PIN code 3 times, your SIM card

is blocked. To unblock it, you must request the PUK

code from your operator.

The mobile phone detects a SIM card that already

contains names and a message asks you if you want to

copy your SIM phonebook onto the built-in

phonebook. Press

to refuse or

to accept.

For complete information about phonebooks, see

“Contacts” page 16.

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A

new battery is partially charged and an alarm will warn

you when the battery reaches low.

You may lose all your personal settings if you

remove

the battery when the phone is switched on.

Once the battery and battery cover are clipped

on the phone, plug the connector of the charger

(supplied with the phone, in the box) into the

socket at the base of the phone on one end, then

Switch on the phone

plug it into a main AC power socket with easy

access on the other end.

The battery symbol indicates the state of charge:

- during charging, the 3 charge indicators scroll;

it takes around 2.5 hours to fully recharge your

mobile phone.

- when all 3 bars are steady the battery is fully

charged: disconnect the charger. Depending

on the network and condition of use, talk time

goes from n to 2.5 hrs and stand-by time from

n to 150 hrs.

Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile when the

battery is fully charged doesn’t damage the battery.

The only way to turn off the charger is to unplug it, so

use an easily accessible AC power socket. You can

connect the charger to an IT supply (Belgium only).
