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/ or wap.SonyEricsson.com/.

Available services

Some services and functions described in this user’s

guide are network- or subscription-dependent. Because

of this, all 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 phone book

information, among other things.

Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM

card before you remove it from another phone. For

example, phone book entries may be saved in the

phone memory.

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 6.

Note: Always turn off the phone and detach the

charger before you insert or remove a SIM card.

the SIM card is blocked and the message PIN blocked

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

your network operator.
