1. Getting Started
Please read the safety instructions in the “Precautions”
section before using your phone.
To use your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card
supplied by your GSM operator or retailer. The SIM

mobile phone number and a memory in which you
can store phone numbers and messages.
Insert the SIM card
Follow the steps below to insert your new SIM card.
Remember  to  switch  off  your  mobile  phone  before
removing the back cover and battery.
Remove the back cover
To  insert  the  SIM  card,  you  must  first  remove  the
back cover. Press on the back cover with your thumb

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  level  is  low.  If  the  battery  is
empty,  it  needs  to  be  charged  for  2  or  3  minutes
before  the  battery  symbol  indicators  flash.  Plug  the
charger into the charger connector at the bottom of
the phone and ensure that the arrow symbol on the
charger is facing upwards as shown below. Then plug
the other end of the charger into an AC power socket.
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge. The
charge  indicators  will  scroll  when  the  battery  is
charging. The battery is fully charged when the charge
indicators stop scrolling. You can then disconnect the
charger. 
Keeping  the  charger  plugged  to  the  mobile  phone
when the battery is fully charged will not damage the
battery. The only way to disconnect the charger is to
unplug it, so use an easily accessible AC power socket.
If you are not using your phone for a period of time,
we recommend that you remove the battery.
You can use your phone while it is charging. When the
battery is completely discharged, the charge indicators
will appear only after a few minutes of charging.
