Backlight
The main display and the keypad are illuminated by
a backlight. When you press any key or open the
folder, the backlight illuminates. It turns off if no
key is pressed within a given period of time,
depending on the Backlight menu option. For
further details, see page 109.
Note: The backlight remains on at all times when the
phone is connected to an optional car kit.
Built-in Antenna
Your phone has a built-in antenna. As with other
mobile radio transmitting equipment, do not touch
the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is
switched on. Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than needed.

provided with a SIM card loaded with your
subscription details, such as your PIN, any optional
services available and so on.
• Keep all miniature SIM cards out of the reach of
small children.
• The SIM card and its data can be easily damaged
by scratches or bending, so be careful when
handling, inserting or removing the card.
• When installing the SIM card, always make sure
that the phone is switched off before you remove
the battery.
Inserting the SIM Card
1. If necessary, remove the battery by referring to
page 20.
2. Insert and slide the SIM card under the two
tabs, ensuring that the notched corner is top left
and the gold contacts of the card face into the
phone.
