About this User’s guide
Some services and functions described in this
User’s guide are service provider- 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 service provider
dependent.
Please refer to the information provided
by your service provider for more information about
your subscription.
We recommend that you read the chapter “Using
the menus” on page 11 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.
Note: Always insert the SIM card into the phone
before attaching the battery.
• attach and charge the battery.
Note: Always turn off the phone and detach the
charger before you insert or remove a SIM card.

phone, with the golden connectors facing down,
and push down until it clicks into place.

indicates that the battery is fully charged.
