SIM & MicroSD Card Installation

The SIM Card slot is located under the battery.
Before installing the card, make sure the phone is
switched off, and it is not connected to an AC adapter
or any other accessories.
Place the phone face down, and slide down the
battery cover to remove it.

16
 Carefully insert the SIM Card into the slot, and
close the slot with the metal contacts facing
downwards. Make sure the notch on the Card is
located on the right down corner.

17
 There is a MicroSD memory card next to the SIM
Card slot. Move the pin towards OPEN (to the side
closer to the edge), and then lift it up. Insert the
microSD Card so that the microSD Card contacts will
touch the phone contacts, close the pin towards
LOCK.

18
Be careful while using memory cards especially while
inserting and removing the card. Some memory cards
must be formatted on a computer before the first use.
Regularly make backup copies of data stored on cards
used in other devices, if you use SD Cards! Misuse or

19
other factors might damage the card or make the
card lose its content.
Insert the battery so that the contacts +/- will go
to the front of the phone.

SIM Card Precautions

Switch off the phone and wait several seconds
prior to inserting or removing the SIM Card.

20
 Be careful while handling the SIM Card, do not
bend it or scratch it.
If the SIM Card is not properly installed or
damaged, a message „Insert SIM Card” will appear on
the screen after switching on the phone. Make sure
the Card is properly inserted and it is not damaged,
and then switch on the phone again. If the message
„Insert SIM Card” is still there, take the SIM Card back
to your GSM network service provider to have it
replaced.

21

Gently insert the battery; make sure to properly
position its metal contacts.
To install the back cover, slide it upwards, until it
clicks.

Charging
Never use a charger or battery that is damaged or not

22
manufactured by the Manufacturer. Accessories of
different type or modifications might damage the

warranty.
When the battery is discharged, there will be an icon
of the empty battery displayed on the screen, and you
will hear a sound alert (if warning alerts are enabled).
To charge the battery, plug the charger to the power
outlet and to the phone.
The battery icon will keep blinking as long as the
battery is being charged. The blinking will stop as soon
as the phone is fully charged, or the phone is
disconnected from the charger.

23
 Important!
While charging, the air temperature must be
between 0°C and +40°C.
After certain time, batteries wear out; therefore,
their performance time will get shorter and shorter
over time.

7.1.1 Desktop Charger (Option)

If you use a desktop charger, first you need to plug the
small plug into the desktop charger slot, and then plug
the other end of the charger into the power outlet. To

contacts going downwards.

 Battery Information
There is a battery in the phone. The battery can be
recharged using a charger that is included in the set.

The battery life depends on conditions in which the

phone is used. Your distance from a relay transmitter,
number and the length of phone calls significantly
reduce the battery life. While on the go, the phone
switches between relay transmitters and such
switching also significantly affects the battery life.
After multiple charges and discharges, it is natural for
the battery to eventually lose its ability to hold charge.
Get a new battery if you notice a significant drop in the
battery performance.
Use only batteries recommended by the Manufacturer.

95
Never leave the charger connected longer than 2-3
days.
Never keep the phone in excessively hot places. High
temperatures might negatively impact both the
battery and the phone.
Never use a battery that is clearly damaged. Doing so
might cause a short circuit, and might damage the
phone. Check battery installation for proper
polarization.
Leaving the battery in excessively hot or cold places
will reduce the battery life. The recommended storage
temperature range is between 15°C and 25°C.
Installing a cold battery into the phone might cause
the phone to malfunction and might damage the
phone.

96
 SAR Information
Information about the impact of radio waves and
Specific Absorption Rate [SAR]. This phone model has
been designed to meet all international standards
pertaining to the impact of radio waves as
recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), an independent scientific organization with a
safety margin to protect all people regardless their age
and health condition. Such guidelines use a unit of
measurement called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) –
actual absorption.
As recommended by ICNIRP, the border value of SAR
for portable equipment is 2,0 watts per kilogram
(W/kg), and it is an average value per 10g of tissue.
SAR value is determined at the maximum transmit
power and in the full spectrum of frequencies covered
by research; the actual SAR value while the product is
97
working might be much lower than the maximum level.
Such discrepancies result from automatic changes in
device power necessary to ensure that the device
operates at a minimum power level required to be
connected with network.
In case of this model, the highest SAR (10g) value in
tests is:
0.373W/kg – device next to head
0.456W/kg – device next to body.
SAR values might also vary due to various reporting
and testing requirements in different countries as well
as to different frequencies in a certain network.
