Installing the SIM card and battery
The SIM card and battery need to be installed before the phone is used
for the first time. The SIM card is not provided with the device. Your ser-
vice provider will provide one. Handle the SIM
card with care and avoid touching its contacts.
Take off the case cover on the back of the device
to insert the SIM card and battery. To do this,
press the top of the cover on the rear and slide it
downwards.
Carefully insert the SIM card into the SIM card
holder as shown. This is on the underside of the telephone.

Initial use
10
The SIM card is pushed, with the card's contacts
facing downwards, between the telephone's con-
tacts and the metal retaining clip. The notch in
the casing must be facing the same way as the
SIM card. The SIM card must fit exactly into the
notch.
Then the battery is inserted. The three battery
contacts must be pointing towards the three con-
tact pins on the telephone on the bottom right
underneath the SIM card.
The battery is first inserted at the bottom at the
contact areas and then at the top into the notch
of the telephone.
Then replace the casing cover and push it up-
wards until it clicks into place.
Switching on the telephone
Press the red hang up key for 3–5 seconds until the display lights up.
You are then prompted to enter the PIN (personal identification number)
for your SIM card. You can find this four-digit number in the documenta-
tion for your SIM card. Use the keypad to enter the four digits, and then
press the green dial key .

Initial use
11
Note: You can change your SIM card PIN from the telephone set-
tings, and you can also disable the PIN prompt when the tel-
ephone is switched on.
The telephone is now ready to be used.
Setting language, date and time
After the telephone is switched on for the first time, you are automatically
prompted to set the language, date and time.
First select the language required and confirm it with the dial key . Next,
enter the time (first hours, then minutes), then the date (first day, then
month, then year), confirming each time with the dial key .
Note: The automatic prompt for language, time and date is only
shown when the telephone is switched on for the first time
and when a different SIM card has been inserted. It is possi-
ble to change these settings any time from the main menu
Settings Phone Settings and then "Time and Date"
or "Language".
Charging the battery
A charger and a power supply unit are supplied with your telephone. In-
sert the small connector on the power supply unit into the jack on the rear
of the charger, then plug the power supply unit into the wall socket.

Initial use
12
Put the telephone into the charger to charge the battery. The right-hand
bar segment in the charge status display flashes during the charge pro-
cess. All of the segments in the display are filled when the charge process
is complete. The charge status display no longer flashes.
Note: Instead of charging via the charger, the power supply plug
can also be connected directly to the jack on the underside of
the telephone. The battery can also be charged via a USB
connector on a computer.
Fully charge the battery prior to initial use. To preserve the battery thereaf-
ter, only place the telephone in the charger when the battery is almost flat
(when only 1-2 bars in the charge status display are filled).
You will usually need to recharge the battery about once a week (depend-
ing on the duration of your calls). Battery performance diminishes over
time. If you notice after a time that you need to recharge your telephone
more frequently, replace the battery.
