3services user guide for your e616V
e616V
This way.
3 services user guide.

Welcome to 3.
User guides can be daunting things, can’t they?
But don’t worry, we’ve made this one as
simple as possible.
Your guide is designed to do two things.
First there’s an explanation of how to use
your new NEC e616V, so finding
your way around the handset will soon
become second nature. Then there’s
an introduction to the wide range of
services offered by 3, to make sure
you get the best from them.
If all you want to do is power up and
get going, that’s fine. But if you want
to know more about what you can
do with 3, you’ll find it here.

The sections in blue all relate
to your new NEC e616V.
Those in red describe 3services.

Get ready
to go.
First things first.
There are a couple of things you need to
do before you can use your new handset –
installing your SIM and battery, and charging
your handset up. This section tells you how.
1.1 – 2 >Installing the SIM
1.3 >Installing and charging the battery
1.4 >Charging the battery
1.5 >Battery use
1.6 >Installing a memory card

2 Remove the battery.
1 Pull out the release lock at
the top of the battery.

1.1 e616V
Installing the SIM
Your SIM (Subscriber Identity
Module) contains your phone
number, service details and
contacts, and must be inserted
into your handset.
If the SIM is removed, your
handset 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 handset before inserting
and removing your SIM.
Your 3SIM may only be used
in handsets which are enabled
for 3services. Any attempt to
use the SIM in other handsets
may result in serious damage
to the handset 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.
5 Replace the battery by
placing the ridge at the
side into the side of your
handset. Push the battery
down into position and
snap it into place.
3 Insert your SIM into the
holder, ensuring the gold
plate is facing down and the
card is positioned as shown.

4 Slide the SIM securely
into its SIM holder before
replacing the battery.

Get ready to go e616V
Get ready to go
1.3 e616V
The battery is not fully charged
when you buy your handset
but there may be enough
power in the battery to turn
the handset on. Before you can
use your handset properly, you
need to install and charge the
battery as shown here.
Your handset is designed
to be used only with the
manufacturer’s battery and
battery charger.
How to install the battery
1 Ensure the handset is
switched off.
2 Insert battery by placing the
ridge at the side into the side
of your handset.
3 Push the battery down
into position and snap it
into place.
How to remove the battery
Pull out the release lock at
the top of the battery and
lift the battery away from
your handset.
1.3
Installing the battery Charging the battery
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 handset’s screen:
A warning alarm will sound
for approximately 10 seconds.
Press to turn off the
alarm. After approximately
1 minute the power will turn
off automatically.
If low power occurs during a
call, you will see the warning
image and hear an intermittent
alarm, and your call will
be disconnected after
approximately 60 seconds.
The volume level of the low-
power warning alarm depends
on the ringtune volume level
on standby and the ear piece
volume during a call.
Your handset will automatically
switch off if the battery power
is too low.
When charging the battery,
always close the handset.
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.
Battery power may decrease
when the handset is in use,
even if the handset remains
connected to the charger.
How to charge the battery
The battery must be charged at
room temperature between
0°C (32°F) and 45°C (113°F).
1 First rotate the rubber
protective cover, then
connect the charger plug to
the handset I/O connector.
2 Plug the charger into an
electrical outlet. The red
LED indicator on the outside
of the handset 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 handset
I/0 connector.
A battery that has not been
used for a long period of time
needs to be completely
discharged by leaving the
handset turned on. Then
recharge it 2 or 3 times
before reaching full capacity.
The battery can be charged
whenever you wish without
affecting the performance
of the handset.

Battery use
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 handset 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
handset 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 handset 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.
