Getting Started 1
1. Getting Started
Please read through the safety instructions in the
“Precautions” section before use (please see page 57).
Before you start using your phone, you must insert a
valid SIM card supplied by your GSM operator or
retailer. The SIM card contains your subscription
information, your mobile telephone number, and a
small quantity of memory in which you can store
phone numbers and messages (for more information,
see “Contacts” on page 43).
Insert the SIM card
Press down the latch (1) and then lift up the door of
the battery compartment (2).
To remove the battery, press down the latch (1) and
lift up the battery (2).
If your SIM card is delivered in a credit-card size,
remove it from its holder and insert it under the metal
clip holder, until it stops. Make sure that the clipped
corner of the card is in the correct corner and that the
gold contacts are facing down.

2 Getting Started
Slide the battery back into the compartment with
metallic connectors downwards, until it stops. Then
lock it by pushing it downwards.
Replace the back cover by pushing it down into its
slots, until it stops.
Remove the protective film covering the screen and
the camera lens before using the phone.
Switching on the phone
To switch on the phone, long press the key. Enter
the PIN code if required (i.e. the 4- to 8-digit secret
code of your SIM card). It is preconfigured and
communicated to you by your operator or retailer. For
more information on PIN codes, see “Security” on
page 53.
If you enter an incorrect PIN code 3 times, your SIM
card will be blocked. To unblock it, you must request
the PUK code from your operator.
Charging the battery via USB
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A
new battery is partially charged and an alarm will warn
you when the battery level is low.
Once the battery and the batter cover are clipped on
the phone you can charge the phone. Pull away the
protective rubber cap covering the charger connector
(it is attached to the phone so that you cannot lost it).
Plug in the connector as shown below. Then plug it
into a main AC power socket.

Getting Started 3
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge.
During charging, the three charge indicators scroll;
the maximum charge time for empty battery is 3
hours for a standard charger. When all three bars are
steady, the battery is fully charged. You can then
disconnect the charger. Depending on the network
and condition of use, talk time goes up to 4 hours and
stand-by time up to 300 hours.
Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile when the
battery is fully charged will not damage the battery.
The only way to turn off the charger is to unplug it.,
so use an easily accessible AC power socket.
You may lose all your personal settings if you remove
the battery when the phone is switched on.
Copying the contents of your SIM
If you are transferring your SIM card from another
phone, you may want to copy the contents of your
SIM phonebook to your Philips 960 mobile phone.
To do so, proceed as follows:
For more information on managing your
phonebooks, please see “Contacts” on page 43.
