Turning on your phone

Press the POWER button.

When you turn on the phone for the first time, you will be prompted to set up your phone. For more information on how to set up your phone for the first time, see “Setting up your phone for the first time.”

Entering your PIN

If your SIM card is preset with a PIN (personal identification number), you will be prompted to enter the PIN to proceed. Enter the SIM PIN, then tap OK.

To learn how to enable or disable the SIM PIN, see “Protecting Your Phone” in the Security chapter.

Most SIM cards are preset with a PIN (personal identification number) that is provided by your mobile operator. When prompted, enter the preset PIN, then tap Enter. If you enter the wrong PIN three times, the SIM card is blocked. If this happens, you can unblock it with the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) obtained from your mobile operator.
