Information on the SIM card

information that you can modify:

you to protect access to your SIM card and phone
-Phonebook
-Messages
-How special services work.

When you switch on your phone for the first time, follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
If access to the SIM card is protected, the device prompts you to enter the PIN:
Enter the code you received when your SIM card was issued. The digits do not appear on the screen for security reasons.
WARNING
This card must be handled and stored with care to avoid being damaged. If you should lose your SIM card, contact your
network provider immediately.
Please keep your SIM card out of reach of young children.
Warning
If a wrong PIN is entered three times in succession, your SIM card is blocked. You must then:
-Enter the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code provided by your operator, and validate.
-Enter your PIN and validate.
-Enter your PIN again and validate.
After 5 or 10 failed attempts (depending on the type of SIM card), the SIM card is permanently locked. You must then
contact your operator to obtain a new card.

Using your phone
Improving antenna performance
The antenna is integrated in your phone, under the lower part of the back cover.
Avoid putting your fingers on this area when the phone is switched ON.
If your fingers obstruct the antenna, the phone may have to operate with a higher
power level than usual, decreasing its efficiency quickly. It could also affect the
quality of your communications.
Increase the battery life of your phone
-Don't press the keys when not necessary: each keypress activates the backlight, and uses much power.
-Don't obstruct the antenna with your fingers.
-Activation of the Bluetooth
®
function reduces the phone battery life. We recommend you deactivate it when not in use.

Using your phone 15
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery must be charged for 4 hours at least before being used for
the first time. It reaches its optimum capacity after a few cycles of use.
When your battery has been discharged, the empty battery icon flashes. In this case recharge your battery for at least
15 minutes before making any calls in order not to be cut off quickly.
To recharge the battery:
-Open the connector protective cover.
-Connect the charger to a socket.
-Plug the end of the cable into the phone connector.
The phone is then charging up. The battery icon scrolls up and down to indicate that it is charging. When the battery is fully
charged, the charging stops on its own. Disconnect the cable.
When charging, the battery may warm up, this is normal.
When you recharge the battery, make sure that the mains socket where you plug in the charger is easy to access.
When you charge the battery, the socket on which the charger is plugged must be easily accessible.
WARNING
If the battery has entirely discharged, the phone cannot start. Plug the phone into the charger. The phone will switch on
after a few minutes of charge. You can use the phone again when the Start option is displayed on the screen.
