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 phone book
information, among other things.
Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM
card before you remove it from another phone. For
example, phone book entries may be saved in the
phone memory.
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.

Making and receiving calls
To turn on the phone
• Press and hold until you hear a tone.
• Enter your PIN (Personal Identity Number), if you
have one for your SIM card.
Your PIN is provided by your network operator.
If you make a mistake while entering your PIN, delete
the wrong number by pressing .
If your PIN starts with the same digits as an
emergency number, for example 911, the digits are
not hidden with an * when you enter them. This is
so that you can see and call an emergency number
without entering a PIN. See “Emergency calls” on
page 26 for more information.
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). Your PUK is provided by
your network operator.
To make and receive calls
• Enter the area code and phone number, and press
to make the call.
• Press to end the call.
• When the phone rings, press to answer the call.
