chapter gives a quick overview of the main functions 
of the phone, shortcuts and general information. 
More information and downloads are available at 
www.SonyEricsson.com or wap.SonyEricsson.com.
Note:  Throughout this manual, WAP and Web are used 
interchangeably to refer to internet services.
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.
Please consult your network operator for 
more information about your subscription. The SIM card
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.
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.
Assembly
Before you can use your phone you need to:
 Insert the SIM card.
 Attach and charge the battery. See “SIM card and battery  information” on page 4.
Note:  Always turn off the phone and detach the charger 
before you insert or remove a SIM card.

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.
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.
Turning On the Phone
Press and hold 
NO
 until you hear 
a tone. Enter your PIN (Personal 
Identity Number), if you have 
one for your SIM card.
Your PIN is provided by your 
network operator.
If you make a mistake while 
entering your PIN, delete the 
wrong number by pressing  .
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 a PIN. See 
“Emergency calls” on page 22 for more 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.
