WARNING
If a wrong PIN number is entered three times in succession, your SIM-card is
blocked. You must then:
- Enter „**05*“.
- Enter the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code provided by your operator
and validate.
- Enter your PIN number and validate.
- Enter your PIN number again and validate.
After 5 or 10 failed attempts (depending on the type of SIM-card), the SIM-card
is definitely locked. You must then contact your operator or your SMC to obtain a
new card.
1.6.1 Setting time and date
When you use your phone for the first time, you need to set the date and time.
In due course, when the battery is completely discharged, or if it has been remo-
ved, you will be prompted systematically to confirm date and time.
Setting the date:
Set the date by entering it directly in numerical form or by using the navigation
stick to increase or decrease the default values.
Use the navigation stick to access the next (or last) data input field. Once the date
is correct, press the
key to validate.
(Setting the time: Same procedure as for setting the date.)
Network
From now on the phone hunts for a network on which it can make calls. If it finds
one, it displays the name of the network on the screen. You are then ready to
send or receive a call.
• If the network icon appears, calls are possible on your operator‘s network.
• If the letter
R
and a network name are displayed, calls are possible on the
network of a different operator. If the letter
E
is displayed without any network
name, only the emergency services are accessible (ambulance, police, fire
brigade).
• If the network icon flashes, the phone is in permanent search mode. There is
no network available. The signal strength indicator received allows you to
display the quality of reception. If it indicates less than three bars, search for
better reception in order to call in good conditions.
