•The R250s PRO is a mobile phone, specially designed to be used when
working outdoors. Thanks to its rugged design the R250s PRO is very
resistant to external influences such as dust, rain and shock.
•The R250s PRO is the first mobile phone which supports GSM Pro. GSM
Pro is an extended feature of the GSM network, which supports group
calls and call monitoring. (GSM Pro requires a GSM Pro subscription.)
•The R250s PRO has an vibrating call alert, which means that the phone
vibrates when you receive an incoming call or message. This is a useful
function when you are working in a noisy environment, where you
cannot hear the phone signal.
•When you work in a noisy environment, you can use Ericsson handsfree
equipment in combination with ear protection equipment. At an incoming
group call, the call is answered automatically and you will hear the conver-
sation in the earpiece.
•Key pad lock. The key pad lock prevents accidental dialling, which could
happen if you keep your phone attached to your belt. The key pad remains
locked until you receive an incoming call. While the key pad is locked,
you can still use the Push-To-Talk button on the left side of the phone for
entering the phone book.
•Alert button. The R250s PRO is equipped with an alert button on the top
of the phone, which makes it easy to call a pre-set alert number.
Note! Please read the chapter “Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use”on
page 112, before using your mobile phone.

6 Preparing Your Phone for Use
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 subscrip-
tion, and your Phone Book information, among other things.
SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card, and the other is
smaller. Your phone uses the smaller card. Many credit card-sized SIM cards
have a perforated smaller card that you can take out easily. Before you can use
your phone, you must insert the SIM card as shown below.
Inserting the SIM Card
To insert the SIM card, remove the battery (if attached) and follow these steps:
THE SIM CARD
3. Open the holder.
1. Open the lid that covers the SIM
card holder.
2. Release the SIM card holder by
sliding it in the direction of the
arrow.
5. Lock the holder by pressing it
down and sliding it in the direc-
tion of the arrow in the picture.
6. Finally, close the lid.
4. Slide the SIM card into the
holder. Make certain that the cut
corner is in the top right-hand
corner.

The PIN
Most SIM cards are supplied with a security code or PIN (Personal Identity
Number), which you need to access the network. Every time you turn on your
phone, it prompts you to enter your PIN. You will find your PIN in the infor-
mation from your operator.
You may need your PIN when you want to change the settings in your phone.
Furthermore, some operators may have services that require a second PIN,
your PIN2.
You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your protection against
unauthorized use of your subscription.
If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card is
blocked. If this happens, you can unlock it by using your PUK (Personal
Unblocking Key code), which you also get from your operator.
The R250s PRO comes with a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The
battery is not charged when you buy your phone, but there may be enough
power to turn the phone on. We recommend that you charge the battery before
you use the phone for the first time.
The battery is specially designed for the R250s PRO. The battery has a special
locking mechanism that prevents it from falling off if you should drop the
phone on the ground.
The battery is equipped with a special rubber sealing to prevent leakage into
the phone. With the battery and antenna properly attached, the phone is dust-
and water-resistant. The phone can be used outdoors, even if it is raining and
the phone will not be damaged if you use it in a dusty environment.
Use only Ericsson original batteries. By using other batteries you risk damag-
ing the phone and will void the warranty.
