Getting Started
Inserting SIM card
Your service provider supplies you with a SIM card. If it
is delivered credit card size, snap out the smaller
segment and remove any rough edges.
Press the button on the rear of your XELIBRI,
simultaneously detaching the necklace.
Press SIM into lower slot, aligning the cut-off corner
correctly, until it engages with a click. To remove SIM
later, press it in again: it is spring-loaded.
Reattach the necklace.
Charging
When delivered, your battery will not be fully charged.
Allow 2-3 hours for a full charge.
Insert the charger in a convenient mains socket. Detach
the necklace. With XELIBRI face up, insert the charger
plug in the socket at the base with the metal plate facing
down.
While it charges, you’ll see this symbol: h
If you don’t see the symbol, see What if...? on p 25.
Be sure to switch off the mains socket and/or remove
the charger when done.
Battery
Eventually, your battery performance will deteriorate.
When exhausted, you may replace it, see p 28.
Switching on
Your XELIBRI operates in two ways:
•as a watch – displays the time on the display, but
uses low power and doesn’t connect to the network.
Because there are no radio transmissions, you can use
watch mode on aircraft.
•as a phone – makes all call features available.
