Initial start up procedure
The micro-SIM card
To use your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card that is supplied by your GSM service
provider.
Your phone requires a micro-SIM card.
The SIM card contains your subscription number and your GSM phone number. It also
contains a memory in which you can store phone numbers and messages. If you use your SIM
card on another phone, your phone number and your Names list remain the same.
Inserting your subscriber card (micro SIM card)
See page 3.
Your PIN code and PUK code
When you switch on the phone, it asks you for the PIN code. The PIN code is the 4 to 8-digit
secret code of the SIM card.
If you enter a wrong PIN code, you can try again. If you enter a wrong PIN code 3 times, your
SIM card is blocked.
You must then enter your PUK code to unblock the phone. This code will be given to you by
your service provider. If you enter an incorrect PUK code ten times in a row the card will be
completely blocked and unusable. If this happens contact your service provider.
Your PIN2 code and PUK2 code
Depending on your SIM card, you may have some features on your phone that require you to
enter a PIN2 code. This is a secret 4 to 8-digit code given to you by your service provider.
If you enter a wrong PIN2 code 3 times, your SIM card is blocked and you must enter the PIN2
unblocking code (PUK2) given to you by your service provider.

Initial start up procedure

The battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery is not fully charged. Charge
it by following the procedure on page 12.
The bicon shows the level of charge in the battery. Each bar represents approximately 25%
of the maximum charge.
If the phone emits a warning signal (see page 39), the red LED flashes and the display shows
Battery low, you should re-charge the battery.
The battery, attached to the phone or not, should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding
60°C (e.g. behind glass in direct sunlight).
We advise you to keep the battery attached to the phone, even when discharged. The backup
battery for the clock (inside the phone) will last longer.
We do not recommend to remove the battery when the phone is switched on: you may lose
all your personal settings.
