Activating Your Phone

Contact your Wireless Carrier and follow their instructions for obtaining service, if
necessary. We suggest that you read this guide to fully understand the services your
phone supports.

Install the Battery

Note: Your phone comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery and travel

adapter.

Important!: You must fully charge the battery the first time you use your phone, otherwise you could

damage the battery.

1.

Insert the top end (1) of the battery first,
matching the gold contacts on the top end of
the battery to those inside of the phone.

2.

Press the bottom end of the battery (2) down

into the phone.

3.

Place the battery cover over the battery and

slide the cover upward into place (3) and
press the bottom down until it clicks.

Turn Your Phone On

1.

Open the flip on your phone, as shown.

2.

Press the

key.

Note: As with any other radio-transmitting device, do not touch the antenna while

using your phone as this can affect call quality and can cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than is necessary.

3.

The phone begins searching for a network signal.

4.

Once the phone finds a signal, the time, date and day

appear at the top of the display.

5.

You’re now ready to place and receive calls.

Note: If you are outside of your carrier’s coverage or roaming area (

), the No Service icon (

) appears

at the top of the phone’s display. If you cannot place or receive calls, try later when service is
available, or at another location.
