Removing the SIM Card

2. Remove the back cover (and battery, if necessary) of
your phone.

Charging Your Phone
Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. When you
first unpack the phone, the battery is not fully charged,
but there might be enough power to turn on the
phone. You can use the provided charger to charge
the phone battery.
1. Open the USB port cover.
2. Insert the charger’s USB adapter into the USB port.
3. Plug the charger into a standard AC wall outlet.
4. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the
charger and disconnect it from the phone.
NOTES:
• The phone automatically switches off if the battery
power is too low.
• Make sure the charger’s connector is inserted
correctly. Do not force the connector into the port.
• The battery will remain fully charged for 3 to
4 hours.
• Only use the charger provided by the original
provider. Using an unapproved charger might
be dangerous and violate the authorization and
warranty rules of the phone.
• If the phone is used too often when the battery is
low or not used for a long time, the screen may not
display the charge indicator until the battery has
been continuously charged for 10 to 40 minutes.
• To get the maximum performance out of your
battery, it is recommended that you completely
charge the battery before using the phone for the
first time. A new battery’s full performance is only
reached after three complete charge and discharge
cycles have been finished.
• Charging is only possible within a temperature range
of 32°F to 113°F.
Powering Phone On/O
NOTE: Do not turn your phone on in areas in which
wireless phone use is not permitted, or when it could
cause interference or danger.
Hold the Power/End Key to turn your phone on or off.
TIPS:
When prompted, enter your PIN (Personal
Identification Number) code or handset code and
press the OK Key.
The PIN code is the password provided by your
network service provider. You cannot use the SIM
card without it.
When the PIN code or handset code is accepted, the
phone automatically searches for the network. After
a few seconds, your phone displays idle mode.
