Getting started
Insert the SIM card
Your Constellation V phone is designed to be used with a nanoSIM card. However, a microSIMdrawer is
available from Vertu retail stores if you wish to use a microSIM card.
!
Important: Use of an incompatible nanoSIM card (or microSIM card in the optional drawer) may
damage the card or your phone and may corrupt data stored on the card.
To avoid damaging the SIM card or your phone, follow these steps carefully:
1. Take the SIMejector tool supplied in the sales pack, and insert the pointed end in the hole in the
outer edge of the SIMdrawer.
2. Push gently until the drawer pops out, and then pull out the drawer fully out from the drawer slot.
Getting started

3. Place the SIMcard, with the contacts face down, into the drawer.
4. Push the drawer gently back into the drawer slot until it clicks into place.
Charge the phone
The internal battery needs activating prior to first use, and it is recommended to charge the battery at this
point as it may not have been supplied with a full charge. Connect the supplied USB data cable into the
charging port on the side of the phone. Then connect the other end of the cable to the USB port on your
Vertu mains charger.
!
Important: Use only chargers, cables and accessories supplied by Vertu.
If the phone indicates a low charge, do the following:
1. Connect the supplied wall charger to the wall outlet and then insert the micro-USB connector into
your phone.
2. When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger from the phone and then from the wall
outlet.

Note:
lYou can use the phone while it is charging.
lIf the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the charging indicator is
displayed or before you can make any calls.

You can also charge your phone by connecting it to your computer using the USB cable.
Note: Your phone charges quicker when connected to the wall charger.
