Getting Started 5
1. Getting Started
Before using your mobile phone, you must insert a
valid SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card into the
phone. The SIM card is supplied by your network
provider.
The information recorded on the chip of the SIM card
include data required in order to establish a
connection with the network, the names and numbers
in your phonebook, your messages, etc.
The SIM card can be removed from your mobile
phone, and inserted in any other GSM/GPRS mobile
phone to be read (a new mobile phone will
automatically read the SIM card).
To prevent losing or damaging the data stored on the
card, you should avoid touching the metal contacts on
the card and keep the SIM card away from electricity
or magnets. Once the SIM card is damaged, you will
not be able to enter the GSM/GPRS network and use
the mobile telephone.
Before removing the SIM card, you must turn off the
mobile phone. Do not insert or remove the SIM card
while the phone is connected to an external power
source, as this could damage the SIM card.
Removal and Insertion of the SIM
Card
The metal contacts on the SIM card can be easily
scratched. You must remove it from its holder
carefully before inserting it into the phone.
• Turn off the phone; remove the battery and unplug
other external power sources.
• Insert the SIM card into the SIM card slot as shown
in the following picture.
• When you need to remove the SIM card, please
first turn off the phone, remove the battery, then
remove the SIM card.
