Getting Started
Inserting the SIM Card
Your SIM Card contains a computer chip with your service details and
phone number. Like a credit card, it should be kept securely and handled
carefully. Do not bend, scratch or expose to moisture; avoid static
electricity.
Important
To avoid corrupting the memory of the SIM Card, always switch off your phone
before removing or inserting your SIM Card.
1Remove the Battery Pack.
2Orient the SIM Card with the gold
contacts facing up
and the angled corner to the lower right
(as shown).
3Slide the SIM Card holder to the right to
unlock and lift up the tray. Slide the SIM
Card into the tray. Close the tray with
the SIM Card inserted and slide the SIM
Card holder to the left to lock.
4Replace the battery pack.
To remove the SIM Card
Follow steps 1 to 4 above, removing the SIM Card from the tray in step 3.

9GB
Inserting the Battery Pack
1Unwrap the Battery Pack.
2Press the Battery Pack firmly into place
and check that it snaps closed.
To remove the Battery Pack
First power off and wait until the display goes blank. Press the Battery
Release Switch down and remove the battery.
Warning
If the battery is removed from the phone for approx. 10 minutes, the clock will be
reset.
Charging the Battery Pack
As supplied, your battery pack will not be fully charged.
1Plug the Charger into a mains socket.
2Plug the Charger into the bottom
(jack) of your phone.
The status bar in the battery icon on the display indicates the
charging status. Charging (0 °C - 45 °C) is complete when the battery icon
indicates all bars. Full charging can take up to approximately 3 hours, but
may vary depending on certain conditions e.g. if your phone is switched
on, temperature is outside the operating range. As an energy-saving
measure, disconnect the charger from the mains socket and from the
phone after charging.
Important
Use only the Sony-specified CMD-CD5 battery pack and charger. Your battery is
equipped with short circuit protection. If you shorten your battery accidentally,
charge the battery shortly to unlock the short circuit protection.
Usage Time
When your battery pack is weak, the battery icon in the display flashes
and there is a beep indicating that only approximately one minute of talk-
time is left.
Getting
Started
To mains

10GB
To switch your phone on/off, press and hold I.
Entering PIN
For security reasons, your SIM Card is protected
with a Personal Identification Number (PIN), which
is supplied with your SIM Card. Enter your PIN
using the number keys (the PIN appears in code as
****) and press the Jog Dial (or ) to confirm your
entry.
If you do not enter a PIN code, your phone will
automatically switch off after approximately 2
minutes. It is possible but not recommendable to
disable the PIN code prompt (see Menu Operations,
Control).
Warning
You only have 3 attempts to enter the correct PIN. After the third attempt, your SIM
is blocked and you must enter your PUK code (Personal Unblocking Key), see also
“Troubleshooting”.
Emergency Calls
Emergency calls (112, etc.) are possible when you have network coverage
even if there is no SIM card in the phone (and even if the keypad is locked
or PIN has not been entered). The support of this feature depends on the
network operator.
Switching On your Phone

11GB
After sucessfully entering your PIN code, your phone searches for an
available GSM network. The network search is automatic, but may take a
few seconds (see also “Menu Operations, Control”).
You are ready to make and receive calls when the
Network Operator’s name appears on the display.
The following indicates the strength of the received network signal. If the
signal is very weak, there is a risk of losing service.
If you cannot obtain Service
One reason for failure to obtain network service is that the reception
strength may be too weak. Try moving to a higher elevation, to a window
or open space. Make certain that there is nothing obstructing the antenna.
Roaming
If you are out of range of your “Home” Network Operator, especially
when abroad, another Network Operator may be selected automatically,
subject to signal strength and roaming agreements between Network
Operators. Contact your Network Operator/Service Provider for details.
