Getting Started 7
1. Getting Started
Please read the safety instructions in the
"Precautions" section before use.
Before you start using your phone, you must insert
a valid SIM card supplied by your GSM operator or
retailer. The SIM card contains your subscription
information, your mobile telephone number, and a
small quantity of memory in which you can store
phone numbers and messages (for more
information, see “Contacts” on page 59).
You can also insert a memory card. This provides
you with expanded memory capability, which
allows you to store additional music, photo, and
video files separate from the phone's built-in
memory.
Inserting the SIM card
Remove the back cover
To insert the SIM card, you must first remove the
back cover. Press on the back cover with your
thumbs and slide the cover upwards. Then use your
free hand to lift up the back cover as shown below.
Remove the battery
Put your finger at the top of the battery and lift the
battery up from its slot.
You may lose all your personal settings if you
remove the battery when the phone is switched
on.

8 Getting Started
Insert the SIM card
Make sure that the clipped corner of the SIM card
is facing the correct direction (clipped corner at
upper left) and the metallic contacts are facing
downwards. Slide the SIM card into the card slot
until it stops. When you remove your SIM card the
first time, make sure that you smoothen the edges,
otherwise you may have difficulty sliding in the
card.
Replace the battery
With the metallic contacts facing downwards, press
the battery down into its slot until it locks into
place.
Replace the back cover
Replace the back cover by sliding it down into its
slots, until it stops.
When inserting the battery, be careful not to
damage the metallic connectors of the SIM
card slot.
Switching on the phone
To switch on the phone, long press and release the )
key. Enter the PIN code if required (the 4 to 8 digit
secret code of your SIM card). It is preconfigured and
provided to you by your network operator or retailer.

Getting Started 9
For more information on PIN code, see “Security” on
page 72.
If you enter an incorrect PIN code 3 times in
succession, your SIM card will be blocked. To
unblock it, you must obtain the PUK code from
your network operator.
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
The new battery is partially charged. A sound alert will
be emitted to warn you when the battery level
becomes low.
We recommend that you do not remove the
battery when the phone is switched on as you
may lose all your personal settings as a result. If
you do remove it, the date and time settings are
only memorized for a short while. As such, you
need to reset the information after you have
installed the battery back again.
Once the battery and battery cover are installed,
you can charge the phone. Plug in the connector as
shown below. Then plug the other end into an AC
power socket.
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge.
During charging, the charge indicators will scroll; it
takes around 4 hours to fully charge the battery.
When all the scroll bars are steady, the battery is
fully charged. You can then disconnect the charger.
Depending on the network and condition of use,
talk time and stand-by time can go up to 16 hours*
and 1440 hours (2 months)* respectively.
*Depending on the network conditions, user
settings, method of use, etc the actual results
may differ.
Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile
phone when the battery is fully charged will not
damage the battery. The only way to turn off

10 Getting Started
the charger is to unplug it, so it is advisable to
use an easily accessible power socket.
If you do not intend to use your phone for
several days, we recommend that you remove
the battery.
You can use the phone while it is charging. If
the battery is completely flat, the battery icon
will only reappear after a few minutes of
charging.
Insert a micro SD card
1. Lift up the micro SD card cover on the left-
hand side of your phone as shown below. If
held properly, the card’s gold contacts will be
facing upwards.
2. Gently slip the card into the micro SD card slot
and press it down until the card locks into
place.
To remove the micro SD card, push down the
card into its slot and release it. The card will
