Note: You should only need gentle pressure to lock the SIM in position. If it feels difficult to lock into position,

please ensure the SIM card is sitting correctly, and that the SIM holder is angled correctly.

Inserting SD card

Angle the micro-SD card as shown in the diagram below and push into the expandable storage slot.

The Aspera F40 can take a micro-SD card up to 32GB.

Inserting Battery

Match the pins at the bottom of the phone with the metal contact points on the battery. Slide the battery in from the

top of the phone, then replace the cover.

Basic Operations

Powering the device

Hold the red hang-up/power button for five seconds. Once the screen lights up with the Aspera logo, let go of the

button. The phone may take some time to initialise. This is normal and you may need to wait for a while.

Charging the device

Ensure the wall plug has been placed into a working outlet and the power switched on. Connect the larger end of the

USB/Charger cable to the wall plug, then connect the smaller end to the left side of the phone.

We recommend charging the phone only when the battery is near empty, or when necessary. It will take three to four

hours for the battery to charge from depleted to full.

PIN/SIM/PUK Codes

If enabled, the system will require a PIN code before anything can be accessed. This is a security code placed on the
