Getting Started

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 phone number, and a

small quantity of memory in which you can store

phone numbers and messages. The SIM card can

be removed from your mobile phone and inserted

into any other GSM/GPRS mobile phone to be

read (a new mobile phone will automatically read

the SIM card).

To prevent losing or damaging the data stored on

the SIM card, you should avoid touching the

metallic area on the card and keep the SIM card

away from electricity or magnets. If the SIM card

is damaged, you will not be able to access the GSM/

GPRS network and use the mobile telephone.

Before removing the SIM card you must switch

off the mobile phone. Do not insert or remove

the SIM card while the phone is connected to an

external power source, as this could damage the

SIM card.

Inserting the SIM card and Memory card

Remove the back cover and battery

Make sure that the phone is powered off. You need

to remove the back cover and battery of your phone

before you can insert the SIM card. Use your finger

to lift the battery up from its slot.

P699_EN 8/23/07, 5:17 PM8

Getting Started

Insert the Memory card

Make sure that the memory card is facing the correct

direction, and the metallic contacts are facing

downwards. Slide your memory card cover to the

right, lift up the card cover and insert the memory

card into the card slot. Then push down the card

cover and slide memory card cover to the left to

lock the memory card into place.

You may lose all your personal settings if you

remove the battery when the phone is switched on.

Insert the SIM card

Make sure that the clipped corner of the SIM card

is facing the correct direction, 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, other-

wise you may have difficulty sliding in the card.

P699_EN 8/23/07, 5:17 PM9

Getting Started

Replace the battery and the back cover

With the metallic contacts facing downwards, press the

battery down into its slot until it locks into place. Note

that the hinge should be at the bottom of the phone.

Press down the back cover until it locks into place.

When inserting the battery, be careful not to

damage the metallic connectors of the SIM card

slot.

Power on the phone

To power on the phone, long press the power supply

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.

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.

Power off the phone

At all times, you can long press the power supply

key to power off the phone.

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 powered 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 may

need to reset the information after you have

installed the battery back again.

P699_EN 8/23/07, 5:17 PM10

Getting Started

Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.

Plug the charger connector into the bottom of

the phone (with the arrow pointing upward).

The battery symbol indicates the state of charge.

If the phone is charging while power off, a charge

indicator will appear on the screen. If the battery

is completely flat, it might take some time after

you have begun charging before the charge

indicator appears on the screen.

When the battery level icon indicates that the

battery is full and does not flash anymore, this

means that the battery is fully charged. When

charging while power off , there will still be an

indication on the screen that the charging is

complete. This process usually takes over 2.5

hours. The mobile phone and charger will become

warm during charging and this is normal .

When charging is complete, unplug the charge

connector from the electrical outlet and the

mobile phone.

Charging must be performed in a well-ventilated

area at a temperature between -10°C and +45°C.

The factory-supplied charger must be used.

Using an unapproved charger could be dangerous.

Moreover, this breaches the provisions of the

repair warranty and violates the mobile phone’s

certification.

If the mobile phone automatically shuts down

or indicates Battery is low, you should immediately

charge the battery. If the battery has not been

entirely used up before charging, the mobile

phone will automatically reduce the recharging

duration.

If you do not intend to use your phone for

several days, we recommend that you remove the

battery.
