B EFORE YOU START
The micro-SIM card
To use your phone, you must insert a
valid micro-SIM card supplied by
your GSM network operator. When
you switch the phone on, it may ask
for the PIN code. The PIN code is the
secret code of the micro-SIM card.
The micro-SIM card contains your subscription number and phone number.
It also contains a memory in which you can store phone numbers and
messages. If you use your micro-SIM card on another phone, you still retain
the same phone number, stored numbers, and messages.
The battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
• After you plug in the battery, please wait a few seconds
before pressing the On/Off button to switch the phone on.
• A battery only reaches its maximum capacity after being
totally discharged and recharged 2 or 3 times.
• A battery lasts longer if you allow it to fully discharge from
time to time.
• If you do not use your phone for several days, it is better
to remove the battery.
Remove the battery cover
Press on the latch on the back of the
phone and lift off the battery cover.
Remove the battery (if necessary)
Lift up on the bottom of the battery and
remove from the phone.
PHILIPS
From your card, remove
the micro-SIM card
muc12fr.book Page 2 Lundi, 22. mars 1999 12:03 12

B EFORE YOU START
Insert the micro-SIM card
First, place the micro-SIM card into the
appropriate slot in the battery compartment
(the clipped corner should be at the top left).
Then, slide the card with your finger until it
stops.
Insert the battery
1. Keep the battery - and + on the top
facing the - and + of the telephone.
2. Slide the battery onto the contacts points
and press.
Replace the battery cover
Hook the battery cover onto the hinges on
bottom of phone and press forward until
the latch catches.
Charge the battery
With the battery inserted in the phone, plug
the connector into the right socket at the
base of the phone. Next, plug the
transformer unit into an AC power socket.
The only way to turn off the charger is to
unplug it, so use an easily accessible AC
power socket.
The battery icon on your phone’s display indicates the state of the charge
process:
• Bars moving = battery is charging.
• Bars steady = battery is fully charged.
• Battery outline flashing (see Troubleshooting p. 32)
You can switch the phone on and use it during charging.
The first time you charge the battery and later, if it is completely
discharged, the battery icon will only appear 2 to 3 minutes after
you connect the charger .
