2. The Battery and SIM Card
The Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. Use
only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and
recharge your battery only with the chargers approved
by the manufacturer. See “Important Battery
Information” later in this section.
New batteries must be charged with
the phone off for at least 24 hours
before initial use. A new battery’s full
performance is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles!
Note: See “Accessories” for more information on
chargers and other accessories.
Installing a Battery
Removing a Battery
Switch off the phone before removing the battery.

Charging a New Battery or Recharging
a Battery
Connect the charger to the phone before plugging the
charger into a standard 120V AC outlet.
The battery segments scroll to
show that the battery is
charging. Allow the battery to
completely charge. See the
“Accessories” chapter for
information on battery
charging times.
Charging is finished when the segments
stop scrolling.
When charging is finished, disconnect
the charger from the AC outlet and from
the phone.
Using the phone near the network’s base
station consumes less power. Keeping the
antenna fully extended whenever possible
maintains the connection to the network with
less power.
Discharging the Battery
Either leave your phone switched on until it turns itself
off or use the battery discharge facility of any approved
accessory available for your phone. The battery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will
6
eventually wear out. When the operating time is
noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new
battery.
Battery Low/Recharge
You get this message and hear
two short beeps when a couple of
minutes of talk time remain. When
no more battery power remains,
you get another tone and the
message RECHARGE BATTERY.
The phone switches itself off.
If the message NOT CHARGING is displayed, charging is
suspended. Check that the battery is not overheated
(over 104°F/40°C), too cold, or connected to a
non-approved charging device. Wait for a while,
connect the charger to the phone again and retry. If
charging still fails, contact your dealer.
Important Battery Information
For good operation times, discharge the battery from
time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it
turns itself off or by using the battery discharge facility
of any approved accessory available for your phone. Do
not attempt to discharge the battery by any other
means.
When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the
power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a
charger for longer than a week; overcharging may
shorten its life.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself
in about a week at room temperature.
It is recommended that you allow your battery to fully
discharge before you recharge it.
When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a
cool, dark and dry place.

Temperature extremes affect the ability of your battery
to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.
Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short
circuiting can occur when a metallic object (e.g. coin,
clip, or pen) causes direct connection of the + and -
terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the
battery), for example when you carry a spare battery in
your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminal may
damage the battery or the connecting object.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or
worn out.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a
closed car in summer or winter conditions, reduces the
capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep
the battery between 59
°
F and 77
°
F (15
°
C and 25
°
C).
A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not
work, even if the battery is fully charged. NiMH battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures
below 14
°
F (-10
°
C).
The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.
Do not attempt to open the case.
Do not dispose of a battery in a fire! Dispose of used
batteries in accordance with local regulations. Recycle!
The SIM Card
The SIM card and its
contacts can be easily
damaged by
scratches or bending,
so be careful when
you handle the card.
Note: Keep all
miniature SIM cards
out of small children’s
reach.
Comes from your
operator; is required
for phone use.

Installing the SIM Card
Switch off the phone,
wait for a few
seconds, and remove
the battery before
installing or removing
the SIM card.
Open the cover of the
SIM Card reader and
open the SIM holder.
Slide the card into
the holder. The
beveled corner of the
card faces up and
you should be able to
see the metal
contacts.
Close the holder by pushing it towards the phone.
Pull the catch gently
toward “Lock” (1). When
you are sure that the
holder is firmly engaged,
slide the cover of the
SIM card reader back
into place (2).
PIN and PIN2
Codes (4 to 8 digits)
A PIN (Personal Identity Number) code comes with the
SIM card. The phone requires this code each time you
switch the phone on if you enable PIN Code Request
(in Menu 5 1).

The PIN2 code comes with some SIM cards and is
required to access some functions, such as charging
unit counters, which must be supported by the SIM
card.
If you enter a wrong PIN or PIN2 code three times in a
row, that PIN or PIN2 code is disabled. You will be
prompted for the PUK code (for the PIN) or the PUK2
code (for the PIN2) and a new PIN or PIN2 code.
PUK and PUK2 Codes (at least 8 digits)
The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) is required to
change a disabled PIN code. The PUK2 code is
required when you want to change a disabled PIN2
code.
If you enter a wrong PUK code ten times in succession,
you cannot use the SIM card any more. Contact your
network operator for a new card.
If you enter a wrong PUK2 code ten times in
succession, you cannot access the functions that
require the PIN2 code. Contact your network operator.
You cannot change the PUK or PUK2 code. If you lose
or do not know the code, contact your network
operator.
