Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your Philips Azalis 238.
This guide will help you to learn easily and quickly how to use your phone.
Symbols used in this guide

Activate/deactivate Pressing the same key (called a toggle key) or using

ex. Activate and Deactivate.
Press ->

This represents a series of commands to tour the menu until you
reach the specific function being discussed. The most important
point to remember is the necessity to press key AFTER EACH
LEVEL before you can tour the next level. So, the above example is:
Press ->
Settings -> Call settings
-> Call forward

Before your first call
The SIM card
To use your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card for your GSM
subscription.
This card contains your telephone number. It also has memory to store the
phone numbers and messages you wish to retain. If you use this card on
another phone, you still have the same phone number, stored numbers and
messages.
PIN and PUK codes
The PIN code is a secret code in your SIM card to protect it from abusive
use. If you or anyone else enters a wrong PIN code 3 times, your SIM card is
blocked. To unblock it, you must request the PUK code from your Network
Operator.
Read the safety instructions in the
Precautions section before use.

Insert the SIM card
1Remove the SIM card from
your card.
2Remove the
battery cover.
3Push the metal retaining clip
to the left and lift the
cardholder.
4Slide the SIM card into its slot until it stops.
Be careful that the clipped corner is in the identical
position as on the drawing.
5Close the cardholder and push the clip to
the right.

The battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
• To optimize the battery capacity, please allow the battery to fully discharge
the 3 first times before recharging.

battery.
