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. SIM card must be kept out of reach of small children.
Inserting the SIM card and Micro SD card
1. The telephone must be switched off and disconnected from the
charger.
2. To remove the battery cover on the back of the phone, press down
on the notch under the battery cover with your fingernail.

15
3. Should the battery be in the device, please remove it.
4. You see 2 card holders: at the top left and right for the SIM card and
at the bottom right for the Micro SD card.
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.
5. Gently insert the Micro SD card in the SD Micro SD card slot (2) and
lock it eventually in place.

16
Inserting the Battery
Align the gold-colored contacts of the
battery with the corresponding contacts of
the phone.
1. Press the other end of the battery until
it snaps into place.
2. Push the battery cover down onto the
device until it clicks into place.

Charging the Battery
You have two options to charge the SL495 battery:
A. Charging station
B. Charger
1. Insert the charger connector into the telephone.
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. To turn off the phone, press and hold down the red key for 2-3
seconds.

18
2. If the PIN code is active, your phone will now prompt you to enter
your PIN code; please enter it and confirm with OK.
3. Please select your language and confirm with OK.
4. To turn off the phone, press and hold down the red key for 2-3
seconds.
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.
