The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phone number, the services included in your subscription, and your Phone Book information, among other things. SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card, and the other is smaller. Your phone uses the smaller card. Many credit cardsized SIM cards have a perforated smaller card that you can take out easily. Before you can use your phone, you must insert the SIM card as shown below. Inserting the SIM Card 1. Remove the battery (if attached). 2. Slide the SIM card down into the SIM card slot with the golden connectors facing down and the cut corner turned to the left. Preparing Your Phone for Use 5 Removing the SIM Card Er ics No so t fo nM r ob Com ile me Co rci m m al un Use ica tio ns AB 1. Remove the battery (if attached). 2. Lift the top of the SIM card and push the card out of the slot. The PIN Most SIM cards are supplied with a security code or PIN (Personal Identity Number), which you need to access the network. Every time you turn on your phone, it prompts you to enter your PIN. You will find your PIN in the information from your operator. You may need your PIN when you want to change settings in your phone. Furthermore, some operators may have services that require a second PIN, your PIN2. You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your protection against unauthorized use of your subscription. If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked. If this happens, you can unlock it by using your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key code), which you also get from your operator. THE BATTERY Your phone comes with a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The battery is not charged when you buy your phone, but there may be enough power to turn the phone on. We recommend that you charge the battery before you use the phone for the first time. 6 Preparing Your Phone for Use Attaching the Battery to your Phone Er ics No so t fo nM r ob Com ile me Co rci m m al un Use ica tio ns AB · Place the battery on the back of the phone and push until you hear a click. Preparing Your Phone for Use When to Charge the Battery The nickel metal hydride battery that comes with your phone can be charged whenever you wish, without affecting its performance. This is not the case with the cheaper nickel cadmium type batteries, often sold as accessories by other suppliers. For the best talk and standby time in the long run, we recommend that you use only Ericsson original batteries with your phone. To remind you that you will soon need to charge the battery or replace it with a charged one: · an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the message Battery low appears for ten seconds in the display ­ the signal is repeated several times, · the indicator light on top of the phone starts flashing red.
