Welcome
Thanks for buying the new O2X3 Mobile – we know you
won’t be disappointed.
Quite simply the O2X3 represents the latest that mobiles
have to offer combining new advances in audio, visual and
data technologies.
The first thing to point out is the high quality camera
offering 1.3 megapixel imaging (that’s really high quality)
and the option to record your own video footage. How
cool is that?
xiii
Secondly the O2X3 has a screen that offers 262,000 colours
making your pictures and videos more lifelike than ever.
After all, what good’s a really cool camera if your screen
makes the pictures look rubbish?
You’ve also got yourself a top class personal MP3 player
which will allow you to play MP3 files.
Because the sound and picture quality on the O2X3 is so
good, we figured you’d probably want to create and store
more files than usual so we’ve included a memory
expansion slot with a 32mb miniSD card.
There’s also a cable to connect your mobile directly to your
PC so you can download and email videos or images that
might be too big to send directly from your mobile.

By connecting through O2Active™,
you’ll be able to access streaming
footage of newsclips, sports highlights,
music videos etc.
And at last you have a phone screen
that is worthy of some of the classic
games that are available to download.
All in all, we’re pretty pleased with the
O2X3. We hope you feel the same way.
O2 does not suggest in any way that the celebrities featured in this guide are

To use your mobile, a SIM card is required 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 release the battery latch
•Lift the battery off the mobile
Please note:
Do not remove the battery when the mobile is on. Doing
so could cause you to lose 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 right
Please note:
A SIM card can be easily damaged if its metal contacts
become scratched. Therefore, 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’s contact point into the slot and plug the
charger in at the socket.
Please ensure you insert the charger the right side up.
Please note:
Before you use the battery for the first time, make sure
you charge it for at least four hours. Charging the battery
fully each time will help prolong its lifetime – and is much
better than frequent short bursts of charging.
21
Installing the battery
Insert the bottom of the battery into the groove at the
bottom of the mobile. Then push down the battery until it
locks into place.
Removing the battery
Pull down the tab with one hand and then lift the top of
the battery to separate from the mobile.
Please note:
The battery must be securely placed in the battery
compartment. If the battery is improperly inserted your
mobile will not turn on or the battery may slip off
during use.
