Available services
Some services and functions described in this user’s
guide are network- or subscription-dependent. Because
of this, some menus may not be available in your
phone.
This symbol indicates that a service or
function is network or subscription-
dependent.
Please consult your network operator for
more information about your subscription.
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 phonebook
information.
Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM
card before you remove it from another phone. For
example, phonebook entries may be saved in the phone
memory. For instructions on copying your SIM card
information to your phone, see “Phonebook” on page
28.
Assembly
Before you can use your phone you need to:
• Insert the SIM card.
• Attach and charge the battery. See “SIM card and
battery information” on page 4.
Note: Always turn off the phone and detach the
charger before you insert or remove a SIM card.

SIM card and battery information
It may take up to 30 minutes before an icon
appears when charging if the battery is
completely discharged.
1. Insert the SIM card. Make sure the SIM card is placed
under the metal clips.
2. Place the battery on the back of the phone with the
connectors facing each other (label side up).
3. Place the back cover into the bottom of the phone and
slide it up until it clicks into place.
4. Connect the charger to the phone at the lightning bolt
symbol. The lightning bolt symbol on the charger plug
must face upwards.
5. It may take up to 30 minutes before the battery
charging icon appears in the display. Wait
approximately 4 hours or until the icon indicates that
the battery is fully charged. If you do not see the
battery icon after this time, press any key or the center
select key to activate the display. The display will
“sleep” during charging.
6. Remove the charger by tilting the plug upwards.
Note: You have to insert the SIM card and charge the
battery before you can use the phone.
