Getting Started, Backlight, Built-in Antenna | Samsung SGH-E700A

Your Phone

Backlight

The main display and the keypad are illuminated by a backlight. When you press any key or open the folder, the backlight illuminates. It turns off if no key is pressed within a given period of time, depending on the Backlight menu option. For further details, see page 109.

Note: The backlight remains on at all times when the phone is connected to an optional car kit.

Built-in Antenna

Your phone has a built-in antenna. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed.

Getting Started

Inserting/Removing the SIM Card

When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided with a SIM card loaded with your subscription details, such as your PIN, any optional services available and so on.

•Keep all miniature SIM cards out of the reach of small children.

•The SIM card and its data can be easily damaged by scratches or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting or removing the card.

•When installing the SIM card, always make sure that the phone is switched off before you remove the battery.

Inserting the SIM Card

1.If necessary, remove the battery by referring to page 20.

2.Insert and slide the SIM card under the two tabs, ensuring that the notched corner is top left and the gold contacts of the card face into the phone.
