Connecting to the Network
After unlocking the SIM, the phone will make an
automatic search for your home network or another
suitable operator in your location (‘SEARCHING’
displayed). When connected, the name of the operator
appears in the top left of the display.
Your mobile phone is now in standby mode, ready to
make and receive calls.
‘EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY’ means that you are
outside co-operating network coverage but you can
still make emergency calls subject to signal strength.
The indicator also flashes green when your phone is
ready to make and receive calls provided that the
indicator feature is activated (refer to page 1.7 for
details).
Unlocking the SIM
To prevent unauthorised use, the SIM is protected by a
PIN1 (Personal Identity Number) code. When enabled,
you must enter the PIN1 each time you switch your
phone ON. This will unlock the SIM and allow you to
make and receive calls. You can choose to disable the
PIN1 (refer to section 3) in which case your SIM will
not be protected against unauthorised use.

If you enter the wrong PIN1 three times in succession,
your SIM will be barred from the network and the
phone will ask for the PUK 1. Refer to section 6 for
help.
IMPORTANT: The supplied PIN1 (4 to 8 digits) may
be a standard number used for all SIM’s issued by
your network operator, you should therefore change
it to any personal number of your choice as soon as
possible. Please refer to section 3 for instructions.
