Getting started 2.3
Assembling the phone
Before you can use your phone you need to:
• Insert the SIM card.
• Attach and charge the battery.
SIM card
When you register as a subscriber with Vodafone, you get a SIM (Subscriber Identity
Module) card. The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phone
number, the services included in your subscription, and names and numbers in your
contacts, among other things.
Note:
If you have been using a SIM card in another phone, make sure that your information is
saved to the SIM card before you remove it from the other phone. For example, contacts
may have been saved in the phone memory.
SIM card and battery information
Always turn off the phone and detach the charger before you insert or remove a SIM card.
Note:
It may take up to 30 minutes before the battery icon appears when charging.

This is the Internet version of the user's guide. © Print only for private use. 17
To insert SIM card and battery
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding the two catches on the side of the phone and
lifting it away as shown in the picture.
2. Slide the SIM card into its holder. Make sure that the gold contacts of the SIM card
are facing down, and the cut off corner is correctly aligned.
3. Place the battery on the back of the phone with the label side up and the connectors
facing each other.
4. Place the battery cover as shown in the picture and slide the two catches back into
place.
To charge the battery
1. Connect the charger to the phone. The symbol on the charger plug must face
upwards.
2. It may take up to 30 minutes before the battery icon appears on the screen.
3. Wait approximately 4 hours or until the battery icon indicates that the battery is fully
charged. If you do not see the battery icon after this time, press a key to activate the
screen.
4. Remove the charger by tilting the plug upwards.
PIN (Personal Identification Number)
You may need a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to activate the services in your
phone. The PIN is associated with your SIM card, and not with the phone. Your PIN
is provided by Vodafone. When you enter your PIN, each digit appears as *, unless
your PIN starts with the same digits as an emergency number, for example 112.
This is so that you can see and call an emergency number without entering a PIN.
If you make a mistake while entering your PIN, delete the number by pressing .

This is the Internet version of the user's guide. © Print only for private use.

Note:
If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked and
the message PIN blocked appears. To unblock it, you need to enter your PUK
(Personal Unblocking Key), %127 SIM card lock.
