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”
