Quick start
Information on the SIM card
To use your phone, you need a card called the SIM card. This contains personal information
that you can change:
-secret codes (PIN(s): Personal Identification Number), these codes allow you to protect the
access to your SIM card and phone,
-phone book,
-messages,
-operation of special services.
WARNING
This card must be handled and stored with care in order not to be damaged. If you lose your SIM card, contact your
operator immediately. Please keep your SIM card out of reach of young children.
Getting started
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 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.
If there are contacts stored on your SIM card, you are prompted to copy them to the phone book on your phone.
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) 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 locked for good. You must then
contact your operator to obtain a new card.

12 Quick start

When the phone is on and if you are browsing the menus, a short press on the red key will take you back to the idle screen.
When you are in the idle screen, a long press on the red key will switch off the phone.
Network
Once it is switched on, the phone will search for a network on which it can communicate. If it finds a network, the name of
this network is displayed on the screen. You can now make or receive a call.
If the network’s name appears, calls are possible on your operator's network.
If the letter R and a network name are displayed, calls are possible on a roaming network provider.
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 still searching. No network is available. The signal strength indicator lets you
view the quality of reception. If less than three bars are displayed, search for a better reception to call in good
conditions.
First call
Dial the number you want to call. Press the green key .
During the call, the calling icon flashes on the screen and tones indicate call establishment.

14 Utilization
Utilization
Improving antenna performance
The antenna is integrated in your phone, under the back cover at the bottom.
Avoid putting your fingers on this area when the phone is switched on.
If your fingers obstruct the antenna, the phone may use more battery power than usual, which
will quickly lead to poorer performance. The quality of your calls may also be impacted.
Non ionizing radiation
For best results, use your phone in a vertical position. This will further enhance your own
security.
Increasing the battery life of your phone
-Do not press the keys unnecessarily: each key press activates the back lighting and uses additional battery power.
-Do not obstruct the antenna with your fingers.
-Refer to the installation recommendations for your Wi-Fi access point: preferably place it in a clear area away from
load-bearing walls or metal screens; this will optimize the range of the Wi-Fi signal.
WARNING
Activating the Bluetooth
®
or Wi-Fi function will reduce the battery life of your phone. Remember to deactivate them when
they are not needed as this will optimize the battery life of your phone.

Utilization 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 will reach its
full capacity after several complete utilization cycles.
When your battery is exhausted, the empty battery icon flashes. In this case,
charge your battery for at least 15 minutes before making any calls to ensure
you are not cut off.
Notes: Each SAGEM phone has a specific charger with the appropriate
connectors for the phone with which it is sold. Using any other charger, or its
use on any other device other than the phone will invalidate the warranty.
To charge the battery:
Connect the charger to a socket.
Plug the end of the cable into the connector located on the side of the phone.
The phone is then charging up. 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 charge the battery, the mains sockets where the charger is
plugged in must be easily accessible.
WARNING
There is danger of explosion if the battery is not inserted correctly 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 catalog. 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; you must not modify, alter or replace it by any another component
(ordinary mains plug, etc.).
if the battery is completely discharged, the phone will not start. In this case, connect the phone to the mains charger.
The phone will switch on after being charged for a few minutes.
You can use the phone again when the Start option is displayed on the screen.
