Warning: Do turn off your phone before removing the SIM card. Never insert or remove 
the SIM card when an external power supply is connected, as this may cause damage to 
the SIM card. 
2.4.2 Turning your phone on and off 
To turn on your phone, hold down the power key on the top of the right side; to turn off 
the phone, hold down the power key. 
If  you  have  turned  on  your  phone  without  inserting  the  SIM  card,  the  phone  will 
prompt  you  to  install  the  SIM  card.  With  the  SIM  card  already  inserted,  your  phone 
automatically verifies the availability of the SIM card. 
Then, the screen shows the following in order: 
  Enter PIN1—if you have set the SIM card password. 
  Enter phone password—if you have set your phone password. 
  Search for network—the phone searches for the appropriate network. 
Notices: 
If when you turn on the mobile phone, an exclamation mark appears on the screen and 
does not disappear, this is possibly caused by misoperation, that is, you press the power 
key and the volume up key at the same time. Such misoperation activates the recovery 
mode, hence the occurrence f exclamation mark. If you just turn off the phone, next time 
when you turn it on, it will still come to the recovery mode. 
Solution: 
Press the home key when the exclamation mark and robot appear, a menu will pop up. 
Use the menu key to select “robot system now” to restart the phone. 
2.4.3  Unlocking the SIM card 
  The  PIN  1  (personal  identification  number)  secures  your  SIM  card  from being 
misused by others. If you have selected this function, you must enter the PIN1 
code each time you turn on the phone so that you may unlock the SIM card and 
then make or answer calls. You can deactivate SIM card protection (see “Safety 
settings”). In this case, the misuse of your SIM card cannot be prevented. 
  Enter your PIN1 code. Clear the incorrect digits by using the right soft key and 
press OK for confirmation. e.g. if your PIN1 is 1234, please enter: 1 2 3 4   
  If you enter incorrect numbers for three times in succession, your SIM card will be 
locked and your phone will ask you to enter PUK 1 number. If you do not know the 
PUK  1 code,  do  not  try.  Instead,  contact  your  network service  provider. See 
“Safety settings”.   
Note: your network service provider sets a standard PIN 1 code (4 to 8 digits) for your SIM 
card.    You should immediately change this number. See “Safety settings”
