About Your Phone, Battery and SIM Card16
English
Your SIM Card
Your credit card sized SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card was
supplied by your Cellular Service Provider when you bought your
phone. You will not be able to make or receive calls if you do not
have a SIM card inserted in your phone.
A Some networks allow you to make emergency calls without a
SIM card inserted.
The SIM card is a ‘Smart Card’ that contains your phone number,
service details and memory for storing Phone Book numbers and
messages. You can therefore use your SIM card in someone else’s
GSM phone and you will be charged for the call.
Like a bank or credit card, you should keep your SIM card secure.
Do not bend or scratch your card and avoid exposure to static
electricity or water.
! Switch off your phone before inserting or removing the SIM
card. Failure to do so may damage the memory on your SIM
card.
SIM Card Insertion
Switch off your phone by pressing
the S key and insert the SIM card
into the slot in the base of the
phone, as shown. If the SIM card is
inserted the wrong way round, or
damaged, the Check Card
message may be displayed. Remove
the SIM card, check that it is the right
way round and then re-insert it into
the phone.
If either of the Bad Card See
Supplier or Blocked See
Supplier messages are displayed,
then you will need to contact your
Cellular Service Provider.
SIM Card Removal
Switch off your phone and push the
release button towards the base of
the phone. Pull the SIM card out.
