Getting Started
What is a SIM card?
Every mobile telephone requires an SIM
card (Subscriber Identity Module);
without the SIM card, you cannot make
phone calls. The SIM card is a
microprocessor that saves your data and
contacts. Therefore, handle the card with
care and exercise caution when inserting
or removing the card. Keep the SIM cards
out of reach of small children.
Inserting the SIM cards
1. The telephone must be switched off
and disconnected from the charger.
2. Remove the battery cover on the back
of the phone

14
3. Should the battery be in the device,
please remove it.
4. You see 2 card holders: the upper left
one for the SIM card and the lower
right one for the Micro SD card.
5. Carefully insert the SIM card in the
SIM card slot (1). Make sure that the
gold-colored contacts on the card are
facing downwards and the tapered
corner is facing left.
Inserting the Micro SD card
1. Slide the holder down to unlock it.
2. Open the holder and gently insert the
Micro SD card into the Micro SD card
holder (2).
3. Close the holder and push it up to lock
in place.

15
Inserting the Battery
1. Align the gold-colored contacts of
the battery with the corresponding
contacts of the phone.
2. Press the other end of the battery
until it snaps into place.
3. Slide the battery cover on the
device until it locks into place.
Charging the Battery
You have two options to charge the
SL590 battery:
A. Charging station
B. Charger
1. Insert the charger connector into the
telephone.

16
2. Connect the charger to a power
outlet.
3. It could take several hours to charge
the battery. If the telephone is
charged while it is switched off, it
takes a few seconds before the
charging indicator appears in the
display.
4. If the telephone is charged while
switched on, the battery indicator
begins to go up. The battery is fully
charged when the battery indicator no
longer goes up.
5. Disconnect the charger from the
network and from the device when it
is no longer needed!
Note: The initial charging of the battery
should take at least 12 hours.
Switching the telephone on/off:
Make sure that the SIM card is in the
telephone and that the battery is
charged.
1. Press and hold the red key for 2-3
seconds in order to switch on the
telephone.
2. If the PIN code is activated, the phone
will now prompt you for your PIN

17
code; please enter it and confirm your
entry with OK
3. Please select your language and
confirm your selection with OK
4. Press and hold the red key for
2-3 seconds in order to switch off
the telephone.
Without the SIM card, only the
emergency call number can be dialed.
Note: If you enter the PIN code
incorrectly 3 times, the phone will ask for
the PUK code that you have received
together with the SIM card.
Standby
If you do not use the telephone for a
short time period, the telephone
automatically switches to standby mode.
Press any key to exit this mode.
Calls can be answered in standby mode.
