1. Inserting the SIM card

You wanted a mobile phone that’s sophisticated yet easy to use.

Before you start using it, you need to insert the SIM card.

The SIM card lives under the battery. Here’s how to insert it:

• Ensure that the phone is switched off and the charger is disconnected

from the bottom of the phone.

• Turn the phone over and push the button in.

• Remove the back cover by sliding it downwards.

• If the battery is already inside remove it.

• Slide your SIM card into its holder. Make sure that the gold contacts of

the SIM are facing down, and the cut-off edge is correctly aligned.

• Replace the battery first.

• Replace the back cover, placing it over the battery and sliding it up-

wards until it clicks into place.

Your mobile phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. This needs to

be charged for at least 4 hours before you can make your first call.

Charging the battery

• Plug the charger into the mains and the mobile phone.

• The phone is now charging. The battery icon moves from left to right.

• When the icon stops moving and the percentage of charge on the

“Home” screen shows 100% the battery is fully charged. The external

screen will show 4 bars, to show it is fully charged.

Charging cradle

You can always check the battery icon to see how much power you have

left. When it’s red (on the “Home” screen) you know it’s time to re-

charge. You will also see a message on the screen when you need to

recharge it.

When you are at home, just sit the mobile phone in the charging cradle

and plug it into the mains. That way your phone will always be charged

when you need it and you will always be able to find it.

Please ensure that the oval symbol on the plug is uppermost when you

insert the cable into the charging cradle.

3. So what do all these

buttons do?

In the centre of the keypad you’ll see three special keys, each of which

has a dedicated function. Basically this means less searching through

menus.

Functions of the keys

Home – Returns you to the “Home” screen, the original screen that

you see when you switch on the mobile phone.

2 Contacts – Opens your phone book where you keep the details of

your family and friends.

3 Log – Just press this key and you can access your voice messages

from your Mailbox (your answering machine, which Swisscom Mobile

calls the COMBOX

), text messages, missed calls, and reminders.

On the left side of the mobile phone you’ll see the side key,

which performs different functions

Ringer Setting – Easily set the ringer to loud, normal, vibrate or

silent.

4 Volume – You can use the same key while you are in a call to adjust

the volume.

english

Below the screen you’ll find the main function keys

Start – Answer incoming calls with this key.

2 On/off and Stop – Turns the phone on and off, just press and hold

down the key. This is also used to hang up. When not in a call this

key may be pressed to return to previous screen. You can also hang up

by closing the flap.

3 Up/Down – To navigate through menus and phone book entries.

4 Menu – Press these keys to select the command written above them

on the screen.

What does everything on my “Home” screen mean?

Clock – Displays the time.

6 Ringer Setting – Loud, normal, vibrate or silent as set by the key

on the side of the phone.

7 Battery Indicator – Shows the amount of power left.

8 Network Signal – Shows the strength of your connection to the

mobile phone network.

9 Your Number – Handy when someone asks you for your phone

number and you go: “It’s… oh, wait a minute, what is it again?”

You can display or remove your number on the “Home” screen. From

the “Home” screen, press “Settings” and then “Privacy”. Press

“Display My No.” then select “On” to display your number or “Off”

to remove it.

What does everything on my external screen mean?

Your phone has an external screen, in addition to the main screen.

When your phone is closed this will provide you with important

information.

10 Ringer Setting – Loud, normal, vibrate or silent as set by the key

on the side of the phone.

11 Battery Indicator – Shows the amount of power left.

12 Network Signal – Shows the strength of your connection to the

mobile phone network.

What notifications can I receive on the external screen?

When you receive a notification, such as an incoming call, this will be

displayed on the external screen. This can be useful if you want to know

who is calling. The screen will also indicate when you’re making out-

going calls.

Incoming calls – When you receive an incoming call, you will receive

a notification on the screen and a green light will flash. If the caller

ID is unknown, the number will be displayed. If the caller’s number is

stored in the phone book, their name will be displayed.

New event – When you receive a text message, a voice message or

missed call, an icon will be displayed on the screen and the light will

flash blue. The external screen will also display alarm notifications and

even special events such as birthdays.

There are some phone numbers you’ll want to call again and again so it

makes sense to add these to your phone book. Then you can access

them easily.

To do this

• Press the “Contacts” key (1).

• Select “Add new contact”

(2).

• Enter a name using the number keys and press “OK” to confirm it.

• Enter the corresponding phone number.

• Choose “Save”.

You can also save a number right after you’ve made or received

a phone call, or a text message from someone who is not yet in your

phone book.

• A prompt will come up asking if you want to save that number in

your “Phone book”. Simply click on “Yes” and enter a name to go

with the number.

• To delete someone from your phone book first select the name then

choose “Delete Contact”.

4. How do I add people

to my phone book?

english

The most basic way to make a call is to key in the number and press the

green “Start” key. One advantage of a mobile phone is that you can

also store people’s names and numbers in your mobile phone book and

call them more easily.

To call someone

• With the “Contacts” key (it’s the one with people on it) you can ac-

cess your phone book. Use the “Up/Down” key to find the name

of the person you want to call. You can also type in the first letter of

the name of the person you want to call.

• Now simply press the green “Start” key.

• End the call by pressing the red “Stop” key or by closing the flap.

• Make sure you are in an area with sufficient coverage to make calls.

The strength of the network is indicated on the “Home” screen.

5. Making and receiving

calls

To answer a call

• To answer a call, you must open the flap and press the green “Start”

key. Opening the flap alone will not answer a call.

You can also make a hands-free call using the speakerphone. To do this:

• Dial the number.

• Press the green “Start” key.

• Activate the hands-free speaker functionality by selecting the Speaker

command which will appear on your screen.

You can receive and make calls when the phone is sitting in the charg-

ing cradle.

You might think text messaging is difficult. But it’s also great at times

when you can’t (or don’t want to) speak to someone – you just send

a text message.

To do this

• Press the “Contacts” key (1) to open your phone book.

• Select the person you want to text. (If that person is not in your phone

book, why not add the contact now? See section 4 on page 9 for

details.)

• Choose “Text”.

• Write your message using the number keys*. Each key shows several

letters.

• Press the key once to select the first letter, twice to select the second

letter and so on.

• Press the “#” key

(2) to access punctuation and special symbols.

• Press the “0” key to insert a blank space.

• Press the “Clear” key to correct mistakes.

• When you’re happy with the message go to “Options” and select

“Send”.

• You can take your time writing a message as you will not be charged

until the message is sent.

* Predictive text is also available on this mobile phone. To change from non-predictive to

predictive text press the “*” key

(3).

6. Sending and receiving

text messages

Receiving a text message

You can access all new messages by pressing the “Log” key (1).

When someone sends you a text message you’ll be alerted by a short

tone*. You will also receive a message on the external screen and the

“Log” key (below the main screen) will flash blue.

To read the message

• Press the “Log” key, then select the message and open it.

• Once you have read a text message and pressed “OK”, the message

will be automatically stored in the Log History area.

• You can also reply to text messages you receive, directly from the Log

area, by selecting “Reply”.

Voice messages (COMBOX

)

When someone leaves you a voice message, listen to it by pressing the

“Log” key and selecting “Voicemail” and then “Call”.

(e.g. +4186 079 123 45 67). Or see tip above.

• The message is played back to you.

• Press the key with the number 1 to replay the message.

• Press the key with the number 2 to store the message.

9. Other settings How do I ask for help?
