your phone and SIM card.
The access codes (except the PUK and PUK2

See the following section.

Security code (5 digits)

The security code can be used to avoid
unauthorised use of your phone. The security

avoid unauthorised use of your phone,
change the code in the
"Security level (Menu 4-6-5)" on page 38
and "Change of access codes (Menu 4-6-6)"
on page 38. Keep the new code secret and in
a safe place separate from your phone.

PIN code (4 to 8 digits)

The PIN (Personal Identification Number)

■ Battery information

Charging and discharging the battery

• Your phone is powered by a rechargeable
battery.
• Note that a new battery's full
performance is achieved only after two or
three complete charge and discharge
cycles!
• The battery can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times but it will
eventually wear out. When the operating
time (talk time and stand-by time) is
noticeably shorter than normal, it is time
to buy a new battery.
• Use only batteries approved by the phone
manufacturer and recharge your battery
only with the chargers approved by the
manufacturer.
