Preparing Your Phone for Use

Before you can use your phone for the first time you must install the SIM card (if it is not already installed), install and charge the battery, and set default parameters for the phone and networks.

The SIM Card

When you register as a subscriber with a network service, you receive a dual-mode SIM card. The SIM card stores information about your phone number and your subscription, among other things. If you purchased your phone from your service provider your SIM card may already be installed. If not, you must install it before you can use your phone. SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card, and the other is about the size of a postage stamp. The R290 uses the smaller card. Many networks provide a credit card size card with a small SIM card that you can remove.

Operating Without a SIM Card

When operating in GSM mode, you can make emergency calls on your R290 phone without a SIM card by dialling 112 or an alternate emergency number, see “Making an Emergency Call” on page 14. This service is not supported by all network operators. You cannot access satellite mode related services without a SIM card.

Inserting the SIM Card

To insert the SIM card, remove the battery (if attached) then:

1. Hold the SIM card with the angled corner at the top left position.

2. Slide the SIM card into the holder as shown (1).

3.Gently press down on the SIM card and slide under the lugs until the top edge of the card clicks into place (2).

4. Refit the battery.

To remove the SIM card insert your finger nail into the curved cutout at the end of the SIM holder and slide the SIM back until it is free.
