Your telephone number is carried by the SIM
card, not the phone. Therefore if you use a
SIM card you had in a previous phone, you will
keep the same phone number.
Slide the SIM card with the
golden contacts facing
down in the SIM card
holder provided for it at the
top right. The SIM card
must be located under the
metal retaining bar to be in
the correct position.
Insert the battery. The
golden contacts on the bat-
tery must face towards the
top left. Press lightly on the
bottom end of the battery
until it snaps into place.

batteries only reach their full capacity after se-
veral complete charge/discharge cycles.

ing unit. Insert the phone in
