Welcome
Digital User guide
This Startup guide is aimed at getting you through
the first hour of using your new phone.
As part of our Greenheart™ initiatives, we have
placed a full-length User guide in the phone and on
the web. By keeping the full User guide in digital
format, we have cut down substantially on the
amount of paper we print. You can find more
information on how to access the in-phone User
guide and other support at the end of this Startup
guide.
Important information
Please read the Important information leaflet
before you use your mobile phone.
