About this user’s guide

For ease of reference, the “Getting to know your phone”

chapter gives a quick overview of the main functions of

the phone, shortcuts and general information.

More information and downloads are available at

www.SonyEricsson.com, www.SonyEricsson.com/fun

or wap.SonyEricsson.com.

Note: Throughout this manual, WAP and Web are

used interchangeably to refer to internet services.

Available services

Some services and functions described in this user’s

guide are network- or subscription-dependent. Because

of this, some menus may not be available in your phone.

This symbol indicates that a service or function

is network or subscription-dependent.

Please consult your network operator for

more information about your subscription.

The SIM card

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 phonebook information.

Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM card

before you remove it from another phone. For example,

phonebook entries may be saved in the phone memory.

For instructions on copying your SIM card information to

your phone, see “Phonebook” on page 26.

Assembly

Before you can use your phone you need to:

• Insert the SIM card.

• Attach and charge the battery. See “SIM card and

battery information” on page 4.

Note: Always turn off the phone and detach the

charger before you insert or remove a SIM card.

This is the Internet version of the user's guide. © Print only for private use.

SIM card and battery information

It may take up to 30 minutes before an

icon appears when charging if the battery

is completely discharged.

1. Insert the SIM card. Make sure the SIM card is placed

under the metal clips.

2. Place the battery on the back of the phone with the

connectors facing each other (label side up).

3. Place the back cover into the bottom of the phone

and slide it up until it clicks into place.

4. Connect the charger to the phone at the lightning bolt

symbol. The lightning bolt symbol on the charger plug

must face upwards.

5. It may take up to 30 minutes before the battery charging

icon appears in the display. Wait approximately 4 hours

or until the icon indicates that the battery is fully charged.

If you do not see the battery icon after this time, press

any key or the center select key to activate the display.

The display will “sleep” during charging.

6. Remove the charger by tilting the plug upwards.

Note: You have to insert the SIM card and charge

the battery before you can use the phone.

Holding the Phone

Hold your mobile phone

as you would any other

telephone.

Internal Antenna

Your phone is equipped

with an internal antenna.

For best reception, try to hold your phone so your hand

does not cover the internal antenna.The antenna is located

on the back of the phone under the Sony Ericsson logo.

Turning On the Phone

Press and hold NO until you hear

a tone. Enter your Personal Identity

Number (PIN), if you have one for

your SIM card. Your PIN is provided

by your network operator.

If you make a mistake while entering

your PIN, delete the wrong number

by pressing .

If your PIN starts with the same

digits as an emergency number, for

example 911, the digits are not hidden with an * when

you enter them. This is so that you can see and call an

emergency number without entering a PIN. See

“Emergency calls” on page 24 for more information.

Note: If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row,

the SIM card is blocked and the message PIN blocked

appears. To unblock it, you need to enter your PUK

(P ersonal Unblocking Key). Your PUK is provided by

your network operator.

Helpful Hints

When you power on your phone, you have

the option of viewing Helpful Hints. If you

select View Now, you will see a short demonstration of

how some of the keys work. You can choose to view

Helpful Hints later or you can select to not view them.

To select to not view them, scroll to NeverAskAgain

using your navigation key and press YES.

You can always access Helpful Hints by pressing

from the standby screen (as long as they have not been

deleted).

to make the call.
