Installing the SIM card
Caution: Risk of swallowing small objects!
The SIM card can be removed.
Small children can swallow them.
1.Switch the phone off.
Caution: Pay attention that the SIM card is not bent or scratched. Prevent any contact with
water, dirt or electrical charges.
Note: The emergency (SOS) function of the phone is completed by SIM card 1. If you only use
one SIM card, it must be inserted in the slot for SIM card 1!
2.Slide the battery compartment cover downwards and remove it. If there is already a battery
inside, remove it.
Note: Your telephone number is carried by the SIM card, not the phone. Therefore if you
use a SIM card you had in a previous phone, you will keep the same phone number.
3.Slide the SIM card with the golden contacts facing down in the SIM card slot. The SIM card must
be located under the metal retaining bar to be in the correct position.
4.Insert the battery. The golden contacts on the battery must be positioned on the bottom right.

Inserting the microSD memory card
The phone memory can be extended by installing the microSD memory card option. This increases
the quantity of data which can be stored.
1.Open the silver metal clip beside the SIM card slot by sliding it downwards gently until
it unlocks with a soft click. Pivot the metal bar up.
2.Lay the microSD memory card with the contacts facing down in the open compartment.
The shape of the compartment corresponds exactly to the shape of the microSD
memory card, meaning that it cannot be inserted incorrectly.
3.Pivot the metal bar down and prize it gently towards the top of the unit, using a little
force, until the metal bar snaps lightly into place.
Charging the battery
Attention: For safety reasons, only use the charging adapter plug and cable supplied. Other charging
