There are a few simple things to do before you can use your new mobile. This section

3.Slide the SIM securely into its SIM holder.
4.Insert battery by placing the ridge into the top of your

Installing the SIM
How to get your own mobile number and other details onto the mobile.
1. Place the mobile on its front.
2.Insert your SIM into the holder, ensuring the gold plate
is facing down and the card is positioned as shown.
Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)
contains your mobile number, service
details and contacts, and must be
inserted into your mobile.
If the SIM is removed, your
mobile becomes unusable
until a valid one is inserted.
The holder for your SIM is located
underneath the battery. Always
disconnect the charger and other
accessories from your mobile before
inserting and removing your SIM.
Your 3SIM may only be used in
mobiles which are enabled for 3
services. Any attempt to use the SIM
in other mobiles may result in serious
damage to the SIM and may prevent
you from being able to use it,
including making emergency calls.
In these instances, we are not
responsible for any such damage
or usage problems.

Installing and charging the battery
How to get your mobile charged up.
The battery is not fully charged when
you buy your mobile but there may
be enough power in the battery to
turn the mobile on. Before you can
use your mobile properly, you need
to install and charge the battery as
shown here.
Your mobile is designed to be used
only with the manufacturer’s battery
and battery charger.
When charging the battery, always close the
mobile. Make sure the battery is installed and
charge it using the NEC charger supplied.
The recommended battery charge time is
approximately two hours. Stop charging if
not completed within five hours.
To charge the battery...
The battery must be charged at room
temperature between 0°C (32°F) and
45°C (113°F).
1. Lift the rubber protective cover, then connect
the charger plug to the mobile/O connector.
2. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
The green LED indicator on the outside
of the mobile will light up when charging
is in progress and go off when charging
is complete.
3. To remove the charger, tilt the plug
upward and pull it away from the
mobile/0 connector.
A battery that has not been used for a
long period of time needs to be completely
discharged by leaving the mobile turned
on. Then recharge it 2 or 3 times before
reaching full capacity.
Low battery alarm
The battery’s power levels (4 levels) are
indicated by the following icons:
When the battery runs out, the following
image will blink on the mobile’s screen:
To install the battery...
1. Insert battery by placing the ridge
into the top of your mobile’s
battery holder.
2. Push the battery down into position
and snap it into place.
To remove the battery...
1. Release the battery clip at the
bottom end on the back of
the mobile.
2. Lift the battery away from
your mobile.

Battery use
How to get the most out of your battery.
Battery performance depends on many factors,
including signal strength, the features and / or
settings you select and use, and your voice,
data and other application usage patterns.
Battery care
To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal
objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
To maximise your battery’s
performance…
Always use NEC Original™ batteries and battery
chargers. NEC’s mobile warranty does not cover
damage caused from using non-NEC batteries and / or
battery chargers.
New batteries or batteries that have been stored for
long periods of time may require a longer charge time.
Maintain the battery at or near room temperature
when charging.
If you don’t intend to use the battery for a long period
of time, remove it from the mobile and store it in a
place with low humidity and low temperature.
Over extended periods of time, batteries gradually
degrade and require longer charging times. This is
normal. If you charge your battery regularly and
notice a decrease in talk time or an increase in
charging time, then it’s probably time to buy a
new battery.
The rechargeable batteries that power your mobile
must be disposed of properly and may need to be
recycled. Refer to your battery’s label for battery type.
Contact your local recycling centre for proper disposal
methods. Never dispose of batteries in a fire because
they may explode.
