About this User’s Guide
Some services and functions described in this User’s
Guide are network- and subscription-dependent.
Because of this, all menus may not be available in
your phone and the shortcut numbers to menus and
functions may vary between phones.
This symbol indicates that a service or
function is network- or operator-dependent.
Please refer to the information provided
by your network operator for more
information about your subscription.
We recommend that you read the chapter “Getting
to know your phone” on page 7 for information about
how to move through the menus.
The SIM card
When you register as a subscriber with a network
operator, 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 your Phone Book
information, among other things.
SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a
credit card and the other is smaller. Your phone uses
the smaller card. Many credit-card-sized SIM cards
have a perforated smaller card that you can take out
easily.
Assembly
Before you can use your phone you need to:
• insert the SIM card.
• attach and charge the battery.
Note: Always turn off the phone and detach the
charger before you insert or remove a SIM cSard.
