Getting Started
•Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate and without use, lose about 1% of their charge per day.
•The battery capacity is degraded if the battery is stored for long periods while fully charged. If long term storage is required, store at half capacity.
Activating your Mike Account
Before you can begin using your i580 handset, you need to activate your Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card on The Mike Network. Your SIM card holds the information required to enable your handset to connect to The Mike Network. It also stores your user information, language preference and contact list entries.
•If you purchased your handset through an Authorized Mike Network Dealer, your SIM should already be active.
•If you purchased your handset at another location, follow the “Getting Activated” instructions in the Mike Services User’s Guide.
