Network connection

The phone may be operated in either TDMA or GSM networks. When your phone is turned on, it automatically searches for the currently available network (p. 80).

After the network search has started, your phone’s signal strength indicator is shown in the upper left

Display contrast

The display contrast may be adjusted (p. 75).

Your phone number

To keep track of your mobile phone number, it is recommended that you

enter your new phone number in the SIM phone book’s <Own numbers>

folder for easy reference (p. 30).

Time/Date

After you have turned your phone on the first time, you will want to set the correct time and date (p. 63).

The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card contains a phone book which is available in addition to your phone’s address book. The entries in the SIM phone book and the address book are managed separately; however, data may be exchanged between the two.

Import SIM card phone book

When a SIM card is inserted for the first time, or when it is changed, the phone book on the SIM card may be imported to your phone’s address book.

In the SIM card phone book, each entry contains only one name and one phone number; therefore, some data fields in the phone’s expanded address book will be left empty. Your phone’s address book entries may be edited after the SIM phone book data has been imported (p. 26).

Do not interrupt the import process and do not accept calls during this time. Follow the instructions on the display.

To copy the data from the SIM

phone book to your phone's address book later, use the Copy into 9

function of the SIM phone book menu (p. 29).
