12 Activating your phone
Getting started
You are now ready to use your phone for the first time.
Switch on the phone by pressing the key. A short display appears.
When you switch on your phone for the first time, you must configure it with various settings that will remain by default until
you choose to modify them (depending on model).
After entering your PIN code and the date and time, make your choice for the following settings: time zone, daylight savings,
wallpaper, screensaver, ring tone, volume, vibrate and voicemail number.
If there are contacts saved in your SIM card, you are invited, if you wish, to copy them in the phone contacts memory.
PIN number
This is your SIM's secret code.
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
OK key or 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.
Warning
If a wrong PIN number 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 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.

Activating your phone 13
Setting time and date
When you use your phone for the first time, you need to set the date and time.
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 date.
Network
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.
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 E 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.

20 Using your phone
Using your phone
Improving antenna performance
The antenna is integrated in your phone, under the back cover at the top.
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.
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.
Increase the efficiency 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.
