Setting up
Install your SIM card
Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is your identity on the mobile
phone network. It can also store your phonebook contact details.
IMPORTANT: Without a working SIM card, your phone can only make
emergency calls using the 112 code (subject to network availability).
Note: When handling your SIM card, limit your movements to reduce static
electricity and avoid touching the gold contacts.
1 Ensure that the phone is switched
off. On the rear panel of the
phone, carefully swing open the
SIM slot door.
2 Orientate your SIM card with
its contacts facing downwards
and the notched corner facing
towards the slot.
3 Push the SIM card into the slot
until it clicks into place. Close the
door.
Note: To remove the SIM card,
press it inwards to release and
partially eject it. Then slide it out
of the slot.

4
Unlock the transit switch
When shipped, the phone is locked for transit to prevent it from switching on
accidentally. You need to unlock the phone before it will operate.
1 On the underside of the
phone, locate the recessed
switch near to where the
handset cable attaches.
2 Slide the switch towards the
rear of the phone unit.
The phone will not switch on
at this stage.
Attach the handset cable
1 Locate the handset and the supplied cable.
2 Connect one end of the cable to the socket at the base of the handset
and the other end to the socket in the left side of the phone body. Each
connector will click into place once inserted correctly.

Attach the power adapter
1 Plug the connector from the power
adapter to the socket on the far right
of the rear panel.
2 Plug the power adapter main body
into a nearby mains outlet and en-
sure that the outlet is switched on.
Attach the antenna
The supplied stub antenna should be
mounted directly onto the rear of the
phone.
1 Ensure that the phone is switched
off.
2 Align the stub antenna with the
circular connector on the far left of
the rear panel.
3 Attach the antenna and twist the
connector collar clockwise until it is
finger-tight - do not overtighten.
4 In use, the antenna should always
be vertical. The antenna has a
hinge so that you can position it
correctly.
Note: You can use the signal
strength reading within the Status
screen to help determine the opti-
mal phone/antenna position. - see
page 35.

6
Using your phone
Switching on
1 Ensure that a valid SIM card is installed and that either:
• The power adapter is attached (as discussed in the previous section),
or
• The internal battery has been charged for at least two hours (or
until the display shows ‘charged’) before it is used without mains
connection.
Whenever power is applied, the internal battery will be charged
automatically.
2 On the rear panel, press and hold the
red button for roughly one second, then
release.
• The screen should illuminate and
display an initial message while the
phone prepares itself for operation.
• If the SIM card is configured to use a
PIN (Personal Identification Number)
code, you will be asked to enter it.
Enter the appropriate four digit code
and press the Select button.
Note: take care when entering a PIN code as three successive incor-
rect tries will cause the SIM card to be blocked, requiring a special
unblocking code from your service provider.
• If there is no available network service in the vicinity, the display will
show Searching... If this condition continues, try a different location
for the phone or antenna.
3 The standby screen will be displayed (see opposite).
Switching off
1 Press and hold the red button until the display goes blank.
Notes:
During normal use, the phone should only be switched on and off using
the red button. Use the transit switch only after the unit has been turned
off.
If the transit switch is inadvertently moved to the locked position, the
phone will immediately shut off or enter a charging state if the power
adapter is connected.

The standby screen
When there is no call in progress and the menu is not being used, the
phone will show the standby screen. The standby screen provides indica-
tions of the signal strength, battery charge status as well as the time and
date.
The ordinary standby screen will display the network name in addition to
any relevant status icons.
You also have the option to display either a large digit clock or a banner.
See the Settings section for details on enabling the ‘big clock’ or ‘banner’.

Making and receiving calls
Although your phone uses mobile communication technology, much effort
has been made to make basic telephone functions work like a high quality
landline phone, but with the added benefit of many mobile phone features.
Important: If the network connection shows Searching... you will not
be able to successfully make or receive calls. There are many factors that
can affect network availability and for this reason, the phone should not be
considered as a fail-safe resource for making emergency calls.
To make a call by dialling
Before making a call, ensure that the standby screen is displayed:
Whether you are using the handset or the handsfree speaker, you can
choose to either:
• Dial first, then pick up the handset (or press the Handsfree button),
or
• Pick up the handset (or press the Handsfree button) and then dial.
When dialling:
• Remember that this is a mobile phone, you must enter the full phone
number, including area code, even if the contact is in your area.
• To erase the last entered digit: Press and release the Clear button.
• To erase all entered digits: Press and hold the Clear button.
• To enter an international number, press the *button twice (a +sym-
bol will be displayed to represent the international dialling code - You
may also be able use your normal international prefix depending on
your SIM and location.). Then enter the country code (two or more
digits) and the remaining number (with the initial zero of the area code
removed).
• If you picked up the handset/pressed the Handsfree button first, the
phone will begin placing the call a short time after the last digit is
pressed. The time delay (4 seconds as standard) between entering the
last digit and placing the call is determined by the Call delay setting
- see page 32.
You can also use a headset to make and receive calls - see page 37 details.

Phonebook
The phonebook allows you to store and use many contact numbers and
corresponding names. You can choose to store contacts within the in-built
memory of the phone (up to 250 contacts) or within the memory located on
your SIM card (cards vary in capacity). The advantage of the latter is that
your contacts can easily be moved between different phones. The phone-
book allows you to quickly switch between the two storage areas and also
to copy contacts between the two storage areas.
