SIM card
A valid miniature plug-in SIM (Subscriber Identi-
ty Module) card is required for making and re-
ceiving calls. The card is supplied by your
network operator or service provider.
The SIM card contains all information the cellu-
lar network needs for identification of the net-
work user. The network operator or service
provider may prevent the use of the communica-
tor with any other but the operator’s or provid-
er’s own SIM cards. If an unacceptable SIM card
is inserted, the message INVALID SIM CARD will
be displayed. Should this happen, contact your
dealer or network operator.
Note: Keep all miniature SIM cards out of small
children’s reach.
Before installing the SIM card, close the device cov-
er and switch off the phone interface (press
).

plates goes in first (figure 2-4).
2

til it clicks into place. Make sure the battery
is properly installed before switching on the
power.
