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 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
Removing the SIM Card
nectors facing down and the cut
corner turned to the left.
1. Remove the battery (if attached).
2. Slide the SIM card into the SIM
card slot with the golden con-
3. Pull out the SIM card.
1. Remove the battery (if attached).
2. Slide the SIM release button
towards you.

6 Preparing Your Phone for Use
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.
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 Battery
Your phone 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.
Attaching the Battery to Your Phone
When to Charge the Battery
The nickel metal hydride battery that comes with your phone can be charged
whenever you wish without affecting its performance. This is not the case
with the cheaper nickel cadmium type batteries, often sold as accessories by
other suppliers. For the best talk and standby time in the long run, we recom-
mend that you use only Ericsson original batteries with your phone.
To remind you that you will soon need to charge the battery or replace it with
a charged one:
•an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the message
Battery low
appears
for ten seconds in the display. The signal is repeated several times.
•Place the battery on the back of the phone and push until you hear a click.

Preparing Your Phone for Use 7
•the indicator light on the top of the phone starts flashing red.
Note! The phone turns itself off when the battery can no longer power it satis-
factorily.
Charging the Battery
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 turned on).
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.
Tip! You can use the phone while the battery is being charged. However, this
increases the charging time.
Disconnecting the Charger
3. Connect the charger to the phone
as shown in the picture. The flash
symbol on the plug must face
upwards.
1. Make sure that the battery is
attached to the phone.
2. Connect the charger to the mains.
•Bend the plug connected to the phone upwards and pull it out.

8 Preparing Your Phone for Use
Removing the Battery
3. Lift the battery up and away from
the phone.
1. Turn off the phone.
2. Press the catch on the bottom of
the battery.

•Press and hold the NO (ON/OFF) key until you hear a click.
If “Enter PIN” Appears in Display
Some SIM cards are protected with a PIN code. If
Enter PIN
appears in the dis-
play after you have turned on the phone, do this:
1. Enter your PIN. If you make a mistake while entering your PIN, erase the
wrong digit by pressing the CLR key.
2. Press YES.
Note! If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card is
blocked. You can unblock it by using your PUK, see “Security for Your Phone
and Subscription” on page 46.
Network Search
After you have turned on the phone (and entered your PIN), the Ericsson logo
appears in the display and the phone searches for a network.
When a network is found, the phone beeps three times. The indicator light on
the top of the phone flashes green once every second and your network opera-
tor’s name (in most cases abbreviated) appears in the display.
This is called standby mode. You can now make and receive calls.
Initial Settings
The first time you turn on your phone, you may want to change the language
in the display, choose the ring signal type and set the clock. For more informa-
tion about these settings, see “Personalizing Your Phone” on page 31.
Display Language
Most modern SIM cards automatically set the display language to the lan-
guage of the country where you bought your SIM card. If this is not the case,
the default language is English. To change the display language, see “Display
Language” on page 34.

1. Press the CLR key.
2. Press the LEFT arrow key.
3. Enter 0000.
4. Press the RIGHT arrow key.
Network
Normally, the name of a network appears in the display after you have turned
your phone on, but sometimes there is no network that you can use. The dis-
play then shows one of the following:
112 only
If the message
112 only
is displayed, you are within range of a network, but you
are not allowed to use it. However, in an emergency, some operators allow
you to call the international emergency number 112. See “Making Emergency
Calls” on page 14.
No network
If the message
No network
is displayed, there is no network within range or the
received signal is too weak. You have to move to get a stronger signal.
