SIM Card Installation
SIM card
Your network provider will supply you a SIM card. The SIM card is key for access- ing the GSM network.
All information about the network and your calling record will be saved to the SIM card, along with the phonebook list and messages. The SIM card can be trans- ferred to other GSM mobile phones.
Avoid touching the metal areas of the card, and keep away from metalic sources.
WARNING: Do not remove card when the phone is powered ON, or connected to an AC power source.

Locking SIM card
To avoid illegal use, the phone is protect- ed by a PIN code.
Step 1: Power ON the phone.
Step 2: Select SIM card locking function.
Step 3: Input the appropriate PIN code.
Important: The network provider will supply a standard PIN code. You should choose to change this code to a personal code of your choice.
Note: The default phone password is [ 1122 ].
You may also unlock the card by using the PIN code.
The PIN code protection can also be cleared, if errors occur in in the pro- cess. However, be advised that after this unlocking process, the card is not protected, and unauthorized use
is possible.
Important: If the wrong code is inserted continuously for three (3) times, the card will be locked by the network. To correct this error, a PUK code will have to be used.
Connecting to a network
After unlocking the SIM card, the phone will search for the registered network, or other available network. Once connect- ed, the name of the network provider will show in the middle of the LCD. The phone will be in an idle mode.
