2.4.1 Inserting and removing the SIM card
Turn off the phone; remove the battery and unplug other external power supplies. Insert the SIM
card into the SIM holder as shown in the phone.
When you need to remove the SIM card, turn off the phone, remove the battery and then
remove the SIM card from the holder.
Warning: Do turn off your phone before removing the SIM card. Never insert or remove the SIM card
when an external power supply is connected, as this may cause damage to the SIM card.
2.4.2 Turning your phone on and off
To turn on your phone, hold down the power key on the top of the right side; to turn off the
phone, hold down the power key.
If you have turned on your phone without inserting the SIM card, the phone will prompt you to
install the SIM card. With the SIM card already inserted, your phone automatically verifies the
availability of the SIM card.
Then, the screen shows the following in order:
Enter PIN1—if you have set the SIM card password.
Enter phone password—if you have set your phone password.
Search for network—the phone searches for the appropriate network.
Notices:
If when you turn on the mobile phone, an exclamation mark appears on the screen and does not
disappear, this is possibly caused by operation failure, that is, you press the power key and the volume
up key at the same time. Such operation failure activates the recovery mode, hence the occurrence f
exclamation mark. If you just turn off the phone, next time when you turn it on, it will still come to the
recovery mode.
Solution:
Press the home key when the exclamation mark and robot appear, a menu will pop up. Use the menu
key to select "robot system now" to restart the phone.
2.4.3 Unlocking the SIM card
The PIN 1 (personal identification number) secures your SIM card from being misused by others. If
you have selected this function, you must enter the PIN1 code each time you turn on the phone so
that you may unlock the SIM card and then make or answer calls. You can deactivate SIM card
protection (see "Safety settings"). In this case, the misuse of your SIM card cannot be prevented.
Press the Hang Up key to turn your phone;
Enter your PIN1 code. Clear the incorrect digits by using the right soft key and press OK for
confirmation. e.g. if your PIN1 is1234, please enter:
1 2 3 4
If you enter incorrect numbers for three times in succession, your SIM card will be locked and your
phone will ask you to enter PUK 1 number. If you do not know the PUK 1 code, do not try. Instead,
contact your network service provider. See "Safety settings".
Note: your network service provider sets a standard PIN 1 code (4 to 8 digits) for your SIM card. You
