To use your mobile, your SIM card needs to be inserted at all
times – this contains important information about your mobile
and network. The message Insert SIM appears when the SIM
card is not installed.
Please take care of your SIM card and don’t keep it near
magnetic and electronic devices as this can interfere with data
storage and network operations.
• Turn your mobile over and slide the cover off
• Release the battery latch and lift the battery off the mobile
Please note
Don’t remove the battery when the mobile is on. This could
mean losing personal settings or data stored either on your
SIM card or in the mobile’s memory.
• Slide the SIM card in under the metal grooves in the SIM
card slot, with the SIM card’s metal contacts facing down
and the cut corner at the top left
Please note
A SIM card can be easily damaged if its metal contacts become
scratched, so take special care when holding or inserting it.
If you wish to remove the SIM
card, you must first press down
the stay, then push the SIM
card out of the slot.

Power connection
Insert the charger into the slot and plug the charger into the

and that after insertion the connector is snug to the phone.
An audio tone plays when you have connected the
charger properly.
Before you use your phone for the first time, charge your
battery for at least four hours. Charging the battery fully each
time will help prolong its life – and is much better than
frequent short bursts of charging.

the mobile. Push down the battery until it locks into place and
then slide the cover back on.
Removing the battery
Slide the cover off. Push the battery latch inwards and then lift
the battery to separate from the mobile.
Please note
The battery must be securely placed in the battery compartment.
