Getting Started
What is a SIM card ?
While registering your mobile phone number, you will be provided with a
SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) by your network operator.
The SIM card has information, such as phone number, PIN (Personal
Identification Number), PIN2, PUK (PIN Unlocking Key is the password to
unlock PIN), PUK2 (password to unlock PIN2), IMSI (International Mobile
Subscriber Identity) number, network information, phone book data, SMS
data and so on reserved for your use. If it is lost, contact your network
operator immediately for help.
PIN Code
PIN is usually a 4 digit password provided by your network operator. It is
usually 4 digits. When you input the PIN code, the screen displays “*” to
replace the number entered.
PIN is used to access the SIM card. If the PIN protection function is
enabled, the screen will display “Enter PIN” each time the phone is
switched on. You can deactivate this feature but this may result in the
unauthorized use of the phone. Some network operators do not permit
deactivating the control.
PIN2 Code
PIN2 is required for some specific functions provided by the network, such
as the charge information.

17
Note: If you enter the incorrect PIN three times in a row, the SIM card will
be locked. Please contact your network operator immediately for decoding
the PIN. Attempting to decode it yourself may result in the permanent
failure of the SIM card.
PUK Code
PUK (8-digit) unlocks a locked PIN. If you enter the PUK incorrectly ten
times in a row, the SIM card will become invalid. Please contact your
network operator for a new SIM card.
Inserting the SIM card
1. Press and hold the end key to turn off the phone.
2. Remove the battery cover and then the battery.
3. Insert the SIM card into the card holder. Ensure that the cut corner
is at the top left and the metal contacts face the phone.
4. Re-insert the battery. Place the battery cover of your phone and slide
it forward until the latch catches the cover.
Note: A SIM card can damage easily if its metal contacts are scratched.
Therefore, take special care while holding or inserting it and keep it away
from small children.

Battery Charging
The battery is not fully charged when first unpacked. It takes three
charging-discharging cycles for the battery to reach its peak performance.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times. However,
the capacity of the battery will be reduced each time it is charged/emptied,
and it will eventually wear out. When the talk time and the standby time
are noticeably shorter than normal, replace the battery. Use original
batteries and charging devices only.
Unplug the charger from the outlet and the phone when not in use. Do not
leave a fully-charged battery connected to a charger because overcharging
may shorten the life of the battery.
If the battery is completely discharged, the charging may not start
immediately when you plug in the connector. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes for
the phone to begin charging.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or
battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. An accidental short circuit may occur
when a metallic object, such as a coin, clip or pen causes the direct
connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery, for
example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short
circuit may damage the battery and the connecting object.
Storage at too high or low temperatures will result in a gradual capacity
loss. As a result the operating time of your mobile phone may be
considerably reduced, even after the battery is fully charged.

19
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire as it may explode. Batteries may also
explode if damaged. Dispose off the unwanted batteries and phones as
permitted by the laws in your countries.
Talk and standby time of the battery varies depending upon the signal
strength of the network, parameters set by the network operator and
usage of the battery.
Battery
QT-95 comes with a 1000mAh battery, which gives about 400 hours of
standby time (under tested conditions) so that you can keep in touch with
your loved ones for many days without charging the battery.
* Note: The actual operation time of a battery varies depending upon the
operation mode, network settings and call settings.
Follow the below mentioned steps to charge the battery:
1. Connect the charger to the connection jack of the phone in proper
direction, and connect it to the main socket.
2. The phone displays "Charger Connected!" and starts charging. The
battery icon dynamically displays the charging process. In switch-off
state, the phone dynamically displays the charging process.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the charging process stops
automatically, and the battery icon indicates full grid on the screen.
After the battery is fully charged, remove the charger from the phone
and socket as soon as possible.

20
Note:
After the phone has run out of battery, we recommend that you
recharge the battery on time. If you do not recharge the battery
within two days, the phone may enter the slow charging mode. When
you recharge the battery, there may be no display temporarily. After
about 10 minutes, the charging indicator icon is displayed on the
screen of the phone. If you do not recharge the battery for more than
two days, the battery may enter the deep discharge protection state.
Thus, in order to get the battery into normal charging mode quickly,
we recommend that you charge the battery on an adapter to activate
the battery for charging, and then charge the battery with the phone.
Alternatively, you can charge the battery with the adapter.
Do not change the parts and accessories of the battery yourself or
take off the battery cover for safety.
Use only original batteries and charging devices. Otherwise you may
risk serious damage to health and property.
The temperature recommended for charging a battery is 10°C to
