ORANGE Sydney Manual

Welcome to Sydney

Your new Sydney is a wonderfully intuitive phone to use, with all the advantages of a finger-friendly touchscreen, but none of the hassle of more complex mobiles.

Obviously there's stuff you need to know about how to install things and which button does what. So that's exactly what this guide is about — making everything crystal clear.

And yes, we agree that the safety bits are a bit boring... BUT (and as you can see, it's a BIG 'BUT') they're really worth reading for your own peace of mind. For instance, did you know that your phone has a label that changes colour if the phone or battery gets wet? No? We didn't either... Not until we read this illuminating guide.

As ever, if you've got any questions, don't hesitate to get in contact on 450 from Orange Mobile or 07973100450 from a non-Orange phone. We're always here to help (apart from those short breaks when we sleep and eat).

Take care and have fun.

How to follow this guide's instructions

In this guide, the steps you need to take to perform a task, or reach a menu, are shown in a straightforward condensed form, with arrows taking you from one to another. For example: Settings > Phone settings > Time and date.

When you're asked to 'press' key, it means pressing and releasing it immediately. Or if you're Using the touchscreen, a 'press' becomes a 'tap'.

And the instruct; on to 'hold' a key, means you should press the key for at least two seconds before releasing it.

That's it. Now it's time to...

Get to know your phone

Installing the battery

If you want, the lithium ion battery can be used straight from the pack. It should have a little charge in it. If not, see 'charging the battery' below.

1. Pull the battery cover from the little notch on the bottom corner and remove the cover.
   
   Remove the battery cover
2. Insert the battery by aligning the gold-coloured contacts with the contacts in the battery Sot.
3. Push down the battery down into place.
   
   Push down the battery
4. Replace the battery cover and close it gently until you hear a click.
   
   Replace the battery cover

Removing the battery

2. Remove the battery cover.
   
   Remove the battery cover
3. PUI the battery up and out.
   
   Pull up the battery from here

Charging the battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. For maximum battery performance, it is recommended that you first use up the battery power and then charge it completely. A new battery's full performance is achieved only after three complete charge and discharge cycles.

1. Connect the USB end ef the cable to the plug cable.
2. Then connect the other end to the right side of your mobile phone as shown in the diagram.
3. Plug the charger into a mains socket and switch it or.
4. Switch off and unplug the charger when the phone is fully Charged — as indicated by the screen's battery icon.
   

Inserting your SIM card

Make sure the phone is switched off and the charger is disconnected from the phone.

1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Remove the battery if it's already installed.
3. Slide the SIM into the slot as shown below with the gold contacts facing downwards.
4. Replace the battery.
5. Replace the back cover.

To remove the SIM. simply reverse the process.

Note: If you already have contacts on your SIM card they can usually be transferred.

A memory card expands the storage space for audio/video files and photos, etc on your phone.

1. Remove the battery cover.
2. With the metal contacts facing downwards, slide the memory card into the slot.

To remove the card, simply reverse the process.

Note: Don't remove the memory card or switch off your phone while transmitting or storing data. You could lose data and damage your phone or the card.

Understanding exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy

The Sydney is 3 low power radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is on, it intermittently receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). That energy level varies in order to achieve optimum performance — so it's higher in areas with poor reception and lower in areas with good reception.

Your phone is designed to comply with safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using a standardised rnethod with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various network operator phone mode's, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Norßonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2.0 W/kg averaged over ten (10) grams of tissue.

The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is 0.951 W/kg (10g).
