SIM card will be blocked and to unblock it you have to enter the PIN Unblocking Key (PUK) code supplied by your network operator. This procedure prevents unauthorized person from working out your PIN code by repeatedly entering different combinations of numbers.

The display will inform you how many tries you have left before the SIM card is blocked. If you enter an invalid PUK code 10 times, your SIM card will be permanently blocked and you have to contact your network operator to have it unblocked.

Some SIM cards use a PIN2 code for accessing special functions. Contact your network operator for further information on PUK2 and PIN2 codes.

Basic Car Kit

Remove the rubber plug covering the antenna hole on the back of the handset.

When placing the phone in the cradle, make sure that the antenna catch is open (slider in left hand side position). When the phone is in place, move the slider to the right hand side for locked position.

The cradle connects to the car’s cigar lighter plug and external antenna.

The battery will be automatically recharged as necessary.

When your phone is switched on and placed in the cradle, the backlighting will remain on.

An external antenna must be connected, since the handset antenna is disconnected when the phone is placed in the cradle.
