Version P1C

 

Before you can use your phone for the first time you must install the SIM card 
if it is not already installed, charge the battery, install the battery, and set 
default parameters for the phone and networks.

 

The SIM Card

 

When you register as a subscriber with a network service, you receive a SIM 
card. The SIM card stores information about your phone number and your 
subscription, among other things.

If you purchased your phone from your service provider the SIM card may 
already be installed. If not, you must install it before you can use your phone.

The SIM card that comes with your subscription is about the 
size of a postage stamp. Many services provide a credit card 
size card with postage stamp size SIM card that you punch 
out.

 

Note! 

 

If you try to use a SIM card that is not a 3-volt card, 

the message “Insert card” will display and you may only be 
able to make emergency calls on your phone.

 

Opening the SIM Card Holder

 

To open the SIM card holder, remove the battery if attached, then:

 

1   

 

Release the SIM card holder by 

sliding it toward the top of the phone

 

2   

 

Fold out the holder as shown 

 

Prepare Your Phone for Use
