Getting started
Installing the SIM card
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are
provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your
subscription details, such as your PIN, any optional
services available, and so on.
Important! The plug-in SIM card and its contacts
can be easily damaged by scratches or
bending, so be careful when handling,
inserting, or removing the card.
Keep all SIM cards out of the reach of
small children.
1. If the phone is on, switch off the phone by
holding down the key until the power-off
image displays.

➀ Press and hold the catch above the battery
toward the top of the phone.

3. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket, as
shown, so that the card locks into position.
Make sure the gold-coloured contacts on the
card face into the phone.
Note : Remove the SIM card, slide it upwards, as
shown, and take it out of the socket.

5. Press the battery until it clicks into place. Make
sure that the battery is properly installed before
switching the power on.
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion
battery. A travel charger comes with your phone for
charging the battery.
The travel charger allows you to use the phone
while the battery is charging, but this causes the
phone to charge more slowly.
Note : You must fully charge the battery before using
your phone for the first time. A discharged
battery recharges fully in approximately 90
minutes.
1. With the battery in position on the phone, plug
the connector of the travel charger into the jack
at the bottom of the phone.

2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet.
The LED on the charger indicates the charging
progress by the following colours:
• Red: the battery is being charged.
• Green: the battery is completely charged.
• Orange: the battery is not correctly plugged in
or is operating at a too high or too low.
3. When charging is finished, unplug the charger
from the power outlet and disconnect it from the
phone by pressing the buttons on both sides of
the connector and pulling out the connector.
Note : You must unplug the charger before removing
the battery from the phone during charging;
otherwise, the phone could be damaged.
Low battery indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of
talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and the
“Battery low” message repeats at regular intervals
on the display. In this case, your phone turns off
the backlight to conserve the remaining battery
power. You may not be able to use more battery
consuming features, like the camera, games, MP3
player.
If the battery level becomes too low, the phone will
automatically turn off.
