Activating your phone
To use your phone, you need a card called SIM card. It contains
personal information that you cannot modify:
Secret codes (PIN(s): Personal Identification Numbers), these codes
allow you to protect access to your SIM card and phone.
Phonebook,
Messages,
How special services work.
Your phone is compatible with the SIM 3V cards.
Information on the SIM card
WARNING
This card must be handled and stored with care in order not to be damaged. If you should lose your SIM
card, contact your network provider or your SMC (Services Marketing Company) immediately.
Please keep your SIM card out of reach of young children.

14
Using your phone
Avoid putting your fingers on this antenna 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.
Non ionising radiation
To obtain maximum satisfaction from your phone, use it in a vertical
position. Your personal safety can only be improved by doing so.
- Don't press the keys when not necessary: each keypress activates
the backlight, and uses much power.
- Don't activate too often the screensaver: a starting time too high
increases the power consumption.
- Don't obstruct the antenna with your fingers.
During a call, press twice the key to switch into hands-free mode.
WARNING: do not use the phone in hands-free mode near to your ear,
or you may suffer hearing loss.

Using your phone
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 phone displays the state
(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 in the
middle of a call.
To recharge the battery:
Connect the charger to a socket.
Plug the end of the cable into the bottom connector of the phone.
The phone is then charging up. The battery icon is scrolling 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 phenomenon is normal.
Charging the battery
WARNING
There is danger of explosion if the battery is placed in an incorrectly way or if it is exposed to fire.
Do not short circuit it.
The battery does not have any part that you can change.
Do not try to open the battery casing.
Use only the appropriate chargers and batteries as shown in the phone manufacturer's catalogue.
The use of other types of chargers or batteries may be dangerous or invalidate the warranty.
Used batteries must be disposed of in the appropriate places.
We advise you to take the battery out if you plan not to use the phone for extended periods.
You are strongly advised not to connect your phone to the charger if it doesn’t contain a battery.
The charger is a safety step-down transformer, it is forbidden to modify, alter or replace it by another
component (power supply plug, etc).

My phone in 5 minutes
Switch on the phone by pressing the key. A short display appears.
If access to the SIM card is protected, the device prompts you to enter
the PIN number:
Enter the code between 4 and 8 digits given to you when the SIM card
was issued. These digits do not appear on the screen for security
reasons.
Press the key to validate.
If your phone indicates that the SIM is missing, press the key to
switch off your phone and check that the SIM card is correctly installed.
Getting started
You are now ready to use your phone for the first time.
PIN number
This is your SIM's secret code.
Warning
If a wrong PIN number is entered three times in succession, your SIM card is blocked. You must then:
- Enter « **05* ».
- Enter the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code provided by your operator, and validate.
- Enter your PIN number and validate.
- Enter your PIN number again and validate.
After 5 or 10 failed attempts (depending on the type of SIM card), the SIM card is definitely locked. You
must then contact your operator or your SMC to obtain a new card.

My phone in 5 minutes
In due course, when the battery is completely discharged, or if it has
been removed, you will be prompted systematically to confirm date and
time.
Setting the date:
Set the date by entering it directly in numerical form or by using the
keys to increase or decrease the default values.
Use the key (or key) to access the next (or last) data input field.
Once the date is correct, press the key to validate.
Setting the time: Same procedure as for setting the time.
If necessary, you can choose the Time zone and eventually the season.
From now on the phone hunts for a network on which it can make calls.
If it finds one, it displays the name of the network on the screen. You are
then ready to send or receive a call.
Setting time and
date
When you use your phone for the first time, you need to set the date and
time.
Network
If the network icon appears, calls are possible on your operator's network.
If the letter R and a network name are displayed, calls are possible on the network of a different operator.
If the letter R is displayed without any network name, only the emergency services are accessible
(ambulance, police, fire brigade).
If the network icon flashes, the phone is in permanent search mode. There is no network available. The
signal strength indicator received allows you to display the quality of reception. If it indicates less than
three bars, search for better reception in order to call in good conditions.
