1. Safety Guidelines
Reading the guidelines below will minimize the
risk of misusing the phone.
x Never use the phone in any area where the
use of mobile phones is prohibited such as
refueling points or hospitals. Using mobile
phones in such places might expose others to
danger. Never use the phone when it might
interfere with the work of other devices!
x Never use the phone without a special set
while driving.
x Never use the phone in hospitals, airplanes,
at refueling points and in close proximity to
flammable materials.
x The telephone emits electromagnetic field that
might negatively interfere with other electronic
devices including medical equipment. A distance
recommended by medical equipment
manufacturers between the phone and implanted
medical equipment such as a heart pace maker
must be kept. Users with implanted devices shall
carefully read guidelines by medical equipment
manufacturers, and shall closely follow such
guidelines. Users with a heart pace maker shall
not carry the phone in the breast pocket; they
shall hold the phone next to the ear on the side
opposite to wherever the device is implanted in
order to minimize the risk of interference; The

9
phone shall be switched off immediately if there
is a suspicion of any interference.
x The phone and its accessories might contain
small parts. Keep the phone and its accessories
away from children.
x Never repair nor modify the phone by your
own; any repairs should be made by authorized
service only.
x Use only original batteries and chargers.
Using other accessories might cause the phone
to malfunction or to explosion.
x WATERPROOF& DUSTPROOF – the
telephone has a protection degree of IP67 – it
resists dust ingress, and resists ingress of water
up to 30 minutes and up to 1 meter of water
depth. Longer ingress of water or deeper water
lever will damage the phone! The phone might be
used while it is raining.
Before exposing the phone to liquid make
sure that the seal under the battery cover and
the USB port cover are properly installed.
2. Getting Started
Prior to switching on the phone, a SIM card shall
be inserted. Pay close attention not to damage
the SIM Card or SIM sockets while inserting the
card. SIM cards must be kept away from children.
REMEMBER! SIM1 socket serves 2G &3G

10
technologies (might be selected); SIM2 socket
serves 2G technology only!
2.1 SIM Card and Battery Installation
Prior to inserting the SIM Card, make sure the
phone is switched off. The charger must be
disconnected. To insert the SIM card, first
remove the battery following the instructions and
illustrations below:
x When the phone is switched off, place the
phone face down, and use the screwdriver to
unscrew 2 screws (if they are in place) and gently
remove the battery cover by unsnapping its upper
end.

11
If there are no screws on the cover, they will be in
the package, next to the screwdriver.
x Remove the battery, use your fingernail to
unsnap,
x Insert the SIM Card to „SIM1 socket”
(socket 3G) (first socket on the left ) so that
metal contacts will face downwards and the
notch is placed as shown in the illustration
below.
x As an option, you might insert the SIM2
card (2G only) to “SIM2 socket” (socket on the
right).

12
x As an option, you might install the MicroSD
Memory Card. To do so, move the pin to the
OPEN position and then move it upwards. Insert
the MicroSD so that its contact pins will face the
telephone contacts, and move the pin to the
LOCK position.

13
Be careful while installing and uninstalling the
card. Some memory cards must be formatted on
a computer before the first use. Make backup
copies of data stored on cards used in other
devices, if you use SD cards! Misuse or other
factors might cause damage or loss of data
stored on the cards.
x Place the battery so that contacts +/-will
face downwards, and then install the battery to
the phone compartment.

14
x After inserting the battery, 2 screws should
be placed or, if such a need arises, pushed
into the battery cover openings; then, place
the battery cover onto the phone, and screw 2
screws, slightly pressing.
2.2 Charging Battery

1. Plug the charger into a power outlet,
2. Remove the rubber, and plug the charger
jack into a slot located in the bottom of the

(battery indicator bars stop blinking) unplug
the battery, and disconnect the cable from the
phone.

15

o Prior to charging the phone, make sure the
battery is properly installed.
o Never remove the battery while charging –
doing so might damage the phone.
