of your SIM card). It is preconfigured and
communicated to you by your operator or retailer. To

If you enter a wrong PIN code 3 times, your SIM card

phonebook. Press

access on the other end.
2. The battery symbol indicates the state of charge:
- during charging, the 3 charge indicators scroll;
it takes around 2.5 hours to fully recharge your
mobile phone.
- when all 3 bars are steady the battery is fully
charged: disconnect the charger. Depending
on the network and condition of use, talk time
goes from n to 2.5 hrs and stand-by time from
n to 150 hrs.
Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile when the
battery is fully charged doesn’t damage the battery.
The only way to turn off the charger is to unplug it, so
use an easily accessible AC power socket. You can
connect the charger to an IT supply (Belgium only).
