Before you start using your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card supplied by your GSM operator or

quantity of memory in which you can store phone numbers and messages.

3.2 Turning the phone on
To turn the phone on, press and hold the Hang Up 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 locked. To unlock it, you
must obtain the PUK code from your network operator.
3.3 Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. The new battery is partially charged. A sound alert will
warn you when the battery level becomes low.
Make sure the battery is not removed. To charge the battery, plug in the connector at the bottom of your
phone, and then plug the other end into an AC power socket.
The battery symbol indicates the charging status.
During charging, the charge indicators will scroll; it takes around 3 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 about 7 hours
