1. Safety Guidelines
Reading these guidelines presented below will
minimize the risk of misusing the phone.
•Do not use the phone in areas where it is
prohibited, e.g. petrol stations or hospitals.
Using the phone in such places can expose
others to danger. Do not switch the phone on if it
may cause interference with other devices!
•You mustn’t use your phone without hands-free
accessories while driving.
•You mustn’t use your phone in hospitals,
airplanes, refueling points or in proximity to
flammable materials.
•The telephone emits electromagnetic field that
might negatively interfere with other electronic
devices including medical equipment. A safe
distance between a telephone and implanted
medical devices such as a heart pacemaker
should be maintained as recommended by
manufacturers of medical equipment. Users with
implanted devices should read and follow the
instructions by manufacturers of implanted
medical devices. Users with a heart pacemaker
should not carry a telephone in their front chest
pockets and they should hold the telephone next
to the ear opposite to the medical device in
order to minimize the risk of interference;
•The device and its accessories might contain
small parts. Keep the phone and its components
out of the reach of children.

9
•Never repair or try to modify your phone by your
own. Any faults should be repired by a qualified
service.
•Use only original batteries and chargers. Use of
any unauthorized accessories could damage
your phone or might cause an explosion.
•WATER AND DUST PROTECTION - the phone
is IP68-rated, i.e., resistant to dust ingress and
continuous immersion to a maximum depth of 1.5
metres. If the phone is immersed deeper, it may
be damaged! The phone can be used in the rain.
For IP68 protection to be maintained, care must be
taken to ensure that all rubber seals are correctly
installed and undamaged (no gaps of any kind). The
loudspeaker diaphragm must not be damaged (e.g.
punctured with a sharp instrument) and must be free
of any kind of impurities (e.g. metal filings). The
case should not have any mechanical damage (e.g.
cracks) on it. In the event that the device is found to
be improperly operated, all claims for water and dust
protection will be rejected.
2. Installation of components
Insert SIM card prior to switching on your phone.
Careful attention must be paid not to damage the
card and SIM slots during insertion.
SIM cards should be kept away from children.

10
2.1 SIM card and battery installation
Make sure the phone is switched off before inserting
the SIM card. The charger should be disconnected.
To insert the SIM card, first remove the battery (if
inserted) as shown and described.
•When your phone is switched off, turn the
phone face down, then use a screwdriver to
unscrew the 2 screws and gently pull off the
battery cover by levering it upwards.

11
•Remove the battery while lifting it up with
your fingernail.
•Insert the SIM Card into the „SIM1 SLOT”
with the metal contact pins facing
downwards.
•Insert the SIM card into the socket with
the metal contacts facing downwards and
the notch as shown in the picture.
•Close the pin by moving it to the right
side.
•As an option, install the SIM2 Card to „SIM2
SLOT”.
•Slide the SIM2 card slot pin to the right
and lift it up
• Insert the SIM card into the socket with the
metal contacts to the underside and close the
pin.

12
•As on option, install a MicroSD Memory Card.
To do it, slide the pin to the LEFT, and next
lift the pin. Insert MicroSD Card so its contact
pins touch the telephone contacts, and slide
the pin to the RIGHT.
Be careful while using the memory card particularly while
installing and uninstalling the card. Some memory cards
shall be formatted on the computer prior to an initial use.
Make backup copies of data stored on the 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.
•Insert the battery with the contact pins +/-
facing downwards

13
•After inserting the battery, place the
battery cover on the phone and tighten
the 2 screws slightly.
2.2 Charging the battery
Note! Use only the original battery included in the
set. Using unauthorized batteries could damage
your phone and will void the Manufacturer’s
warranty.
Do not connect the charger when the back cover is
not in place.
To charge the phone:
1. Plug one end of the charger into a power outlet.
2. Plug the other end of the charger into a jack
at the bottom of your phone. A message
about charging will appear on the display
screen. During charging, battery indicator
bars will blink.

14
3. When the battery is fully charged (battery
indicator bars will stop blinking), unplug the
charger from the power outlet and from the
phone.
Note:
oMake sure the battery is correctly installed before
starting the charging process.
oNever remove the battery while charging - doing
so could damage the phone.
oIf the battery voltage is too low for your phone to
work, a message will appear about expected
powering off and next your phone will
automatically switch off.
oIf the battery is totally discharged (e.g. Due to
keeping on a radio or torch) and you plug in the
charger, you should wait several minutes before
a charging icon appears.
