Information on the SIM card
To use your phone, you have a smart card called a SIM card. It contains all the
information needed by the network as well as other information unique to you and
that you can modify:
Secret codes (PIN(s): Personal Identification Numbers), these codes allow you
to restrict access to your SIM card.
Phonebook,
Messages,
How special services work.
Your phone is compatible with the different SIM cards offered by operators.
It is also compatible with the SIM/WIM cards (cards containing the WIM module
in addition (WIM = Wireless Identity Module) that is used for secure WAP
communications.
WARNING
This card must be handled and stored with care to avoid damaging it by scraping or bending it. If you should lose your
SIM card, contact your operator or your SMC (Services Marketing Company) immediately.
Comment: do not leave your SIM card within the reach of young children.

14 Activating your phone
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery must be
charged for at least 4 hours 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 more calls so as to avoid being cut off mid-call.
To recharge the battery
Connect the charger to a mains socket.
Plug the end of the cable into the connector at the base of the phone.
The phone starts to charge up. Charging stops by itself. Disconnect the cable.
It is possible that the battery may heat up slightly during charging; this
phenomenon is normal.
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.).
