Getting Started 5
1. Getting Started
Please read the safety instructions in the "Precautions"
section before use.
To use your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card
supplied by a GSM operator or retailer. The SIM card
contains your subscription information, your mobile
telephone number, and a memory in which you can
store phone numbers and messages (for more
information, see “Contacts” on page 56).
Inserting the SIM card
Follow the steps below to insert your new SIM card.
Remember to switch off your mobile phone before
removing the back cover.
Remove the back cover
To insert the SIM card, you must first remove the
back cover. Press on the back cover clip and then slide
the cover downwards as shown below.
Remove the battery
To remove the battery, pull the inner clips outwards,
then remove the battery by pulling it up from the
bottom.
You may lose all your personal settings if you remove
the battery when the phone is switched on.

6 Getting Started
Insert the SIM card
Slide the SIM card holder to unlock it and then lift it
up on its hinge (1). Remove the SIM card from its
protective holder and (2) place it in the space
provided, making sure that the clipped corner of the
card is in the correct corner and that the gold contacts
are facing down.
Close the card holder and slide it into the locked
position.
Slide the battery back into its slot, gold contacts
downwards, until it stops. Then lock it by pushing it
downwards. Replace the back cover by sliding it 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. A PIN code is a 4- to 8-digit
secret code for 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 44.
If you enter an incorrect PIN code three times, your
SIM card will be blocked. To unblock it, you must
request the PUK code from your operator.
When you switch on your mobile phone with your
new SIM for the first time, you will be asked for the
following:
Set date To set the current date.
Set time To set the current time.
Time zone To select your time zone.
See “Settings” on page 43 for details on these three
items.

Getting Started 7
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A
new battery is partially charged and a sound alert will
warn you when the battery reaches low, if the battery
alert is On (see “Sounds alerts” on page 44).
Once the battery and battery cover are back in place
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 lose it). Plug
in the connector as shown below. Then plug the other
end into a main AC power socket.
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge.
During charging, the charge indicators will scroll; it
takes around 2.5 hours to fully recharge your mobile
phone. When all the scroll 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 8.5 hours and stand-by time up to 850
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 can
connect the charger to an IT supply (Belgium only).
Setting Hotkeys
You can configure the numeric keys 2 to 9 to access
your favourite features simply by long-pressing on the
numeric key. A number of hotkey shortcuts are pre-
configured. For more information, see “Shortcuts” on
page 49.
Copy SIM
names into
the phone?
If your phone detects any names
and telephone numbers in the SIM
card phonebook, you will be asked
if you want to copy them into the
onboard phone book. If you wish
to copy the numbers, press OK,
otherwise press Cancel.
