Preparing Your Phone For Use
Turning the Phone On
1. Press and hold
to turn the phone on. The phone will display
the welcome animation.
2. Enter your PIN code and press
to confirm.
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) is the password provided
by your network operator. You need this password in order to use the
SIM card.
To activate/disable PIN password authentication, go to
Settings
>
Security
>
PIN Code
>
PIN 1 Code
>
Set Status
. See page 75.
3. When the PIN code entered has been accepted, the phone will
automatically search for the designated network. This search process
may take a few seconds.
4. The idle screen will be displayed, as well as network signal strength
and the name of the network operator. You can now use the phone.
If the phone is not able to detect the designated network, or links to a
network that you are not authorized to use, the signal strength meter
will show no bars. You will only be able to make emergency calls.
If you enter the PIN incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card will
be locked. You must now enter the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key)
for that SIM card in order to unlock it. Please contact your network
operator to obtain a PUK.
