Getting Started
Phone settings
Network connection
The phone may be operated in either
TDMA or GSM networks. When
your phone is turned on, it
automatically searches for the
currently available network (p. 80).
Signal strength
After the network search has
started, your phone’s signal strength
indicator is shown in the upper left
corner of the display screen.
M
Indicates a strong signal.
L
Indicates a weak signal.
Display contrast
The display contrast may be
adjusted (p. 75).
Your phone number
To keep track of your mobile phone
number, it is recommended that you
enter your new phone number in the
SIM phone book’s
<Own numbers>
folder for easy reference (p. 30).
Time/Date
After you have turned your phone on
the first time, you will want to set
the correct time and date (p. 63).
Import SIM card phone book
When a SIM card is inserted for
the first time, or when it is changed,
the phone book on the SIM card
may be imported to your phone’s
address book.
In the SIM card phone book, each
entry contains only one name and
one phone number; therefore, some
data fields in the phone’s expanded
address book will be left empty. Your
phone’s address book entries may
be edited after the SIM phone book
data has been imported (p. 26).
Do not interrupt the import process
and do not accept calls during this
time. Follow the instructions on
the display.
To copy the data from the SIM
phone book to your phone's address
book later, use the
Copy into 9
function of the SIM phone book
menu (p. 29).
The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card
contains a phone book which is available in
addition to your phone’s address book. The
entries in the SIM phone book and the
address book are managed separately;
however, data may be exchanged between
the two.
