1.2 About the SIM Card and Battery

Always turn off your device before installing/replacing the battery and SIM card. Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to install a 3G SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card provided by Cingular Wireless and to install the battery.

The SIM card contains your phone number, service details, and phonebook/message memory. Legacy SIM cards will not function with your device. You should consult with your Cingular representative for a replacement SIM card. There may be fees for this service.

Your device contains a rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery. This device is designed to use only manufacturer-specified original batteries and accessories. Battery performance depends on many factors, including your wireless service provider’s network configuration, signal strength, the temperature of the environment in which you operate your device, the features and/or settings you select and use, items attached to connecting ports, and your voice, data, and other program usage patterns.

Battery life estimates (approximations):

Standby time: up to 200 hours for GSM; 180 ~ 250 hours for

UMTS/HSDPA.

Talk time (Screen off): 4 ~ 5 hours for GSM; 2 ~ 4 hours for

UMTS/HSDPA.
