The SIM card
Getting started
When you register as a subscriber with a network
operator, you get a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)
card. The SIM card contains a computer chip that
keeps track of your phone number, the services
included in your subscription, and your phonebook
information.
About this user’s guide
For ease of reference, the “Getting to know your
phone” chapter gives a quick overview of the main
functions of the phone, shortcuts and general
information.
Tip: Check if your information is saved to the
SIM card before you remove it from another phone.
For example, phonebook entries may be saved
in the phone memory.
More information and downloads are available at
Note: Throughout this manual, WAP and Web are
used interchangeably to refer to internet services.
Assembly
Before you can use your phone you need to:
Insert the SIM card.
Attach and charge the battery. See “SIM card and
Available services
•
•
Some services and functions described in this user’s
guide are network- or subscription-dependent. Because
of this, some menus may not be available in your phone.
This symbol indicates that a service or function
is network or subscription-dependent.
Note: Always turn off the phone and detach the
charger before you insert or remove a SIM card.
Please consult your network operator for
more information about your subscription.

SIM card and battery information
It may take up to 30 minutes before an icon
appears when charging if the battery
is completely discharged.
1. Insert the SIM card. Make sure the SIM card is placed
under the metal clips.
2. Place the battery on the back of the phone with
the connectors facing each other (label side up).
3. Place the back cover into the bottom of the phone
and slide it up until it clicks into place.
4. Connect the charger to the phone at the flash symbol.
The flash symbol on the charger plug must face upwards.
5. It may take up to 30 minutes before the battery charging
icon appears in the display. Wait approximately 4 hours
or until the icon indicates that the battery is fully
charged. If you do not see the battery icon after this
time, press any key or the centre select key to activate
the display. The display will “sleep” during charging.
6. Remove the charger by tilting the plug upwards.

Holding the Phone
Hold your mobile phone
as you would any other
telephone. While speaking
into the mouthpiece, angle
the phone up and over
your shoulder.
If your PIN starts with the same digits as an emergency
number, for example 911, the digits are not hidden
with an * when you enter them. This is so that you can
see and call an emergency number without entering
information.
Note: If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row,
the SIM card is blocked and the message PIN blocked
appears. To unblock it, you need to enter your PUK
(Personal Unblocking Key). Your PUK is provided
by your network operator.
Internal Antenna
Your phone is equipped with an internal antenna.
For best reception, try to hold your phone so your
hand does not cover the internal antenna. The antenna
is located on the back of the phone above the back cover.
To make and receive calls
Turning On the Phone

Entering letters and characters
Multitap text input
You can enter letters, for example, when you add names
to the phonebook, write text messages or enter web
addresses.
In addition to the way you normally enter letters
in your phone, using multitap text input, you can use
T9™ Text Input to enter text messages and e-mail,
for example, if the input language you select supports
this. T9 Text Input is a predictive input method and is
a quicker way to write texts.
When saving names in the phonebook or when writing
web addresses, you enter letters using multitap text
input. You press each key as many times as needed
to show the letter you want. The following example
shows how to write a name in the Phonebook.
To enter letters using multitap text input

mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone models
are designed to meet radio frequency exposure
guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobile
phone model is included with the material that comes
with this mobile phone. This information can also be
found, together with more information on radio frequency
exposure and SAR, on: www.SonyEricsson.com.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE AND
SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio
frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio
frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure for the general population. The levels include
a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health, and to account
for any variations in measurements.
DRIVING
Please check if local laws and regulations restrict the use
of mobile phones while driving or require drivers to use
handsfree solutions. We recommend that you use only
Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions intended
for use with your product. Please note that because of
possible interference to electronic equipment, some
vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones
in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external
antenna supports the installation.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The
SAR value is determined at the highest certified power
level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level
of the mobile phone while operating can be well below
this value. This is because the mobile phone is designed
to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure
guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety.
While there may be differences in SAR levels among
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road
and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
PERSONAL MEDICAL DEVICES
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please
avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker,

61
e.g. in your breast pocket. When using the mobile phone,
place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum
distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the mobile
phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is
limited. If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, immediately turn off your
mobile phone. Contact your cardiologist for more
information.
POWER SUPPLY
Connect the AC power adapter only to designated power
sources as marked on the product. Make sure the cord is
positioned so that it will not be subjected to damage or
stress. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit
from any power source before attempting to clean it. The
AC power adapter must not be used outdoors or in damp
areas. Never alter the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit
into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
For other medical devices, please consult the
manufacturer of the device.
CHILDREN
EMERGENCY CALLS
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY
WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS
ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD HURT
THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR COULD
ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE MOBILE PHONE OR
ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS
ACCESSORY MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT
COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING
HAZARD.
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore you
should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for
essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular
networks or when certain network services and/or mobile
phone features are in use. Check with your local service
provider.
BATTERY USE AND CARE
We recommend that you fully charge the battery before
you use your mobile phone for the first time. The battery
can only be charged in temperatures between +5°C
(+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
DISPOSING OF THE PRODUCT
Your mobile phone should not be placed in
municipal waste. Please check local
regulations for disposal of electronic
products.
A new battery or one that has not been used for a long
time could have reduced capacity the first few times it is
used.
