1 • Getting started
Read the safety instructions in the «Precautions» section
before use.
To use your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card
supplied by your GSM operator or retailer. The SIM
card contains your subscription, your mobile number,
and memory in which you can store phone numbers
and messages (see “Contacts” page 26).
Insert the SIM card
1. Press the lock of the battery cover towards the top
of the phone and simply lift it up to remove it.
2. Remove the SIM card from its holder and insert
it under the metal clip holder, until it stops. Be
careful that the clipped corner of the card is in
the correct corner.
3.
Slide the battery into its slot, metallic connectors
downwards, until it stops. Then lock it by
pushing it downwards.
4. Replace the back cover of your phone.

Switch on the phone
1. To switch on the phone, long press the )
key.
2. When you switch on the phone, you may be
prompted to enter the PIN code, which is the 4
to 8-digit secret code of your SIM card to protect
it from unauthorised use. It is preconfigured and
communicated to you by your operator or
retailer. To personalise the PIN code, see
page 40.
If you enter a wrong PIN code 3 times, your SIM card
is blocked. To unblock it, you must request the PUK
code from your operator.
3. Enter your PIN code. If you make a mistake,
press c. Then press , or # to confirm.
Set date and time
As prompted by the phone at first switch on, set the
date by pressing the appropriate numeric keys (press
c to erase a number), then press , to validate.
Proceed in the same way to set the time.
For complete date and time options, see page 43.
Getting started
Copy the SIM phonebook
If you do not copy the SIM phonebook at very first
switch, you will be able to do it directly from the
Contacts menu (see page 26).
If you had a mobile phone before and are using the
same SIM card, the card might contain all or part of
your current phonebook. The mobile phone detects
this and a message asks you if you want to copy your
SIM phonebook onto the built-in phonebook. Press
c to cancel or , to accept.
Whether you accepted, aborted or cancelled the copy,
the phonebook located on your phone is always
automatically set as your default phonebook. To switch
back to the SIM phonebook, press , and select
Contacts > Settings > Contacts select > In SIM card.
Charge the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A
new battery is partially charged and an alarm will warn
you when the battery reaches low.
We recommend that you do not remove the battery
when the phone is switched on: you may lose all your
personal settings (see information on battery safety,
page 91).
