Assembly
You need to do the following to use your phone:
• insert the SIM card
• attach the battery to the phone
• charge the battery
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.
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.

The PIN
Most SIM cards are supplied with a security code, also
known as PIN (Personal Identity Number), which you need
to access the network. Every time you turn on your phone,
you are asked to enter your PIN. You will find your PIN in
the information from your operator.
Some operators may have services that require a second
PIN, your PIN2.
You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your pro-
tection against unauthorized use of your subscription.
The Battery
Your phone comes with a lithium battery. The battery is not
charged when you buy your phone, but there may be
enough power to switch the phone on. We recommend that
you charge the battery up to three hours before you use the
phone for the first time.
Note! Do not charge the phone if the back cover is not
properly attached.
When to Charge the Battery
The battery that comes with your phone can be charged
whenever you wish without affecting its performance. You
can also charge the battery when the phone is off.
To remind you that you will soon need to charge the battery
or replace it with a charged one:
• an alarm signal (a short beep) sounds and the message
Attention! Battery low
appears in the display.
• the indicator light on top of the phone starts flashing
red.
If you have an Ericsson-approved battery, you can check
the remaining talk and standby times in the Status menu by
pressing any of the volume keys in standby mode. You can
move downwards in the menu by pressing d. The
remaining standby and talk times depend on the type of bat-

tery you use and your position in the network. Please note
that these times are approximate and you may have 20%
less time than is shown in the display.
Note! The phone turns itself off when the battery can no
longer power it satisfactorily.
Charging the Battery
Note! The mains plug may look different depending on
the mains socket in your country. The mains plug may not
be used for other products than Ericsson chargers.
To indicate charging:
• the battery meter in the display pulses continuously
• the indicator on the top of the phone shows a steady red
light (or green, if the phone is switched on)
• the message
Charging only
is shown in the display.
Note! If you charge a new battery that is empty, or a bat-
tery that has not been used for a long time, it may take a

the mains.
4. Connect the other end
of the cable to the
phone as shown in the

tery and the back
cover are attached to
the phone.

while until you get an indication of charging in the dis-
play.
An Ericsson-approved battery is indicated by
Ericsson Opti-
mized Charging
each time you start charging the battery. For
the best charging, talk and standby times in the long run,
we recommend that you use only Ericsson-approved batter-
ies with your phone.
Batteries that are not Ericsson-approved are charged slowly
for safety reasons. These are indicated by the message
‘Alien battery - Slow charging only’ in the display during
the charging process.
Tip! You can use the phone while the battery is being
charged. However, this lengthens the charging time.
When the battery is fully charged, the battery meter in the
display is full and the indicator on the top of the phone
shows a steady green light.
Disconnecting the Charger
Taking Care of Your Phone
Thanks to its rugged design the R310 is very resistant to
external influences such as dust, rain and shock. The inside
of the phone is well protected with silicon gaskets and
ePTFE membranes from W.L. Gore & Associates. The out-
side is reinforced with rubber to withstand harsh treatment.
When needed, the phone can be washed under running
water. We recommend that you do it gently in cold water
under a water tap. Before washing the phone, it is important
that the battery and the back cover are properly attached, all
accessories are removed and that the system connector rub-
ber plug is properly attached.
• Disconnect the charger from
the phone by moving the plug
upwards.
