Inserting Your SIM Card

Before you can make a call on your mobile phone, you must insert a SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) card.

You are given this card (1/2 in. by 1 in.) when you take out your subscription with a network operator. For more details about the SIM card, refer to the glossary on page 77.

NEVER touch the gold contacts on the chip, as you may damage the SIM card.

• If you do not insert the SIM card, the Check Card message is displayed when you switch the phone on.

You can make emergency call while you have inserted a SIM card. (Some networks don’t require a SIM card for emergency calls. Check with your Air Time Provider.)

If you wish to block access to the phone registers stored in the SIM card, see page 47.

1. Remove the battery pack (see page

17).

2. Turn the phone face down.
