2Enter your SIM card PIN (Personal Identification Number), if requested, and select
OK.
3Select a language.
4Follow the instructions that appear.
If you want to correct a mistake when you enter your PIN, press .
SIM card
The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, which you get from your network operator,
contains information about your subscription. Always turn off your phone and detach the
charger before you insert or remove the SIM card.
You can save contacts on the SIM card before you remove it from your phone.
PIN
You may need a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to activate the services and functions
in your phone. Your PIN is supplied by your network operator. Each PIN digit appears as
*, unless it starts with emergency number digits, for example, 112 or 911. You can see and
call an emergency number without entering a PIN.
If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked. See SIM protection on
page 65.
Standby
After you have turned on your phone and entered your PIN, the name of the network
operator appears. This view is called standby. Your phone is now ready for use.
Using other networks
Making and receiving calls, using messaging, and data transfer, for example, Internet-
based services, outside your home network (roaming), may incur additional costs. Contact
your operator for more information.

Emergency Number 112. Please contact your network operator or service provider to determine
availability of any specific service or feature and whether additional access or usage fees apply.
Charging the battery
The phone battery is partly charged when you buy it.
To charge the battery
1Connect the charger to the phone.
2Remove the charger by tilting the plug upwards.
Maximising battery performance
•Charge your phone often. The battery lasts longer if you charge it frequently.
•If you are in an area with no coverage, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks.
This consumes power. If you cannot move to an area with better coverage, turn off your
phone temporarily.
•Turn off 3G, Bluetooth wireless technology and Wi-Fi™ when you do not need these
functions.
•Do not cover the phone antenna when you are engaged in a call.
Antennas
Avoid touching the antenna area unnecessarily while the antenna is transmitting or
receiving. For example, avoid touching the phone antenna during a phone call. Also avoid
covering your GPS antenna when you are using the GPS. Contact with a transmitting or
receiving antenna affects the quality of the radio communication, may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed, and may reduce battery life.
GPS

performance.

Twilight portrait Use for portrait photos at night or in poorly lit
environments (with or without the flash). Due to long

use the self-timer to avoid a blurred photo.
Self-timer With the self-timer you can take a photo without holding
the phone. Use it to take self-portraits, or group photos

Tips on using the camera
Rule of thirds
Don’t place your subject in the middle of the frame. By placing it a third of the way in, you
achieve a better result.
Hold it steady
Avoid blurry photos by holding the camera steady. Try to steady your hand by leaning it
against a solid object. You can also use the self-timer to make sure that the phone is steady
when the photo is taken.
Get closer
By getting as close as possible to your subject, you won’t have to rely on the zoom. Try to
fill the viewfinder with your subject.
Stay within the flash range
Photos taken beyond the maximum flash range will be too dark. The maximum flash range
is about four steps from the subject.
Consider variety
Think about different angles, move towards the object. Take some vertical photos. Try
different positions.
Use a plain background
A plain background helps highlight your subject.
