About your SIM card
When you subscribe to Cingular, you receive a SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card containing your
registration information, PIN code, etc.
Like a credit card, it should be kept secure and handled
carefully.
Do not bend, scratch or expose it to moisture.
Avoid static electricity.
To avoid corrupting your SIM card’s memory, always switch
off your phone before removing or inserting your SIM card.
Installing/Removing your SIM card
❶ Remove the battery from your
phone by pushing and lifting it as
shown.
❷ If the SIM slot is empty, insert the
SIM card into the slot.
❸ To remove your SIM card, push
the SIM card in the arrow direction
as shown.
Inserting your battery
Insert the locators of the battery into the
hole located in the upper of the unit and
press the bottom of the battery. Push the
case of the battery until the sound of a
‘click’ is heard.
Removing your battery
Push the battery toward upside and
remove the battery.
Charging your battery
Your phone uses a Li-Ion battery. Make sure
to use an authorized battery and charger
only. For more details, please inquire at your
nearest dealer.
You can use your phone when the battery is
being recharged.
When the battery is inserted in your phone,
open the protective cover located on the
bottom of your phone and connect the
charger adapter, as shown. A suitable
adapter is supplied with your phone.

SIM Card & Battery
060613_C120_EN_REV01.indd 17 2006.6.13 4:56:41 PM

When your battery is fully charged,
remove the adapter connection from
the outlet, then disconnect the adapter
from your phone by pressing the
adapter’s side buttons and pulling the
adapter away from your phone, as
shown.
•Do not use a damaged battery or charger.
•Use your battery for the specified purpose only.
• The closer you are to your network’s base station, the
longer your phone usage time because less battery
power is consumed for the connection.
• The battery recharging time varies depending on the
remaining battery capacity and the battery and charger
type you use.
• Battery life inevitably shortens over time.
• Use an authorized battery and charger only.
• Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the
phone from its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the
charger, once charging is complete. Leaving the battery
in hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer
or winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the battery.
Always keep the battery within normal temperatures.
• Do not put your battery into contact with conductive
objects.
• Dispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning;
they may explode.
• Do not use an unauthorized charger.
• To prevent injury or burns, ensure that no metal objects
come into contact with the + and – terminals of the
battery.

Tip
Your phone is powered by a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery.
This means that, unlike other forms of battery technology, you can
recharge your battery while some charge remains without reducing
your phone’s autonomy due to the “battery memory effect” inherent
in those technologies.
