Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Solution |
| The display shows BLOCKED when you switch on. | Somebody tried to use your phone but didn't know the PIN code nor the unblocking code (PUK). Contact your service provider. |
| The ◁ and □ symbols are not displayed. | The network connection is lost. Either you are in a radio shadow (in a tunnel or between tall buildings) or you are outside the network coverage area. Try from another place or contact your network operator for assistance or information about the network. |
| The display doesn't respond (or responds slowly) to key presses. | The display responds more slowly at very low temperatures. This is normal and does not affect the operating of the phone. Take the phone to a warmer place and try again. |
| Your phone does not go to idle screen. |
|
| When charging your mobile phone, the battery icon is empty and flashing. | When your battery is too low or when the temperature is out of the range (0 to 45°C), the battery cannot be charged. Move your phone to a place where the temperature is in the range and wait a few minutes before re-charging. |
| After switching on your phone, the SIM lock code is required. | Your phone is configured to work only with your service provider's SIM card. Please contact your service provider to get further informations. |
| Your phone does not work well in your car. | A car contains some metallic parts that absorb electromagnetic waves which can affect the phone's performance. A car kit is available to provide you with an external antenna and enables you to phone without handling the handset. It is strongly advised, however, to check with local authorities if you are allowed to phone while driving. |
| Difference between a long press and a short press on numeric keypad. | A short press displays the number written on the key. A long press (at least one second) could either activate a Hotkey (See Hotkeys page 44) or a special character (such as + for a long press on the ⌧ key). |
| The time and the date are reset. | Your mobile phone contains a small battery called the << back up battery >> which is charged by your main battery. If you unplug the main battery, the back-up battery can supply the clock with enough energy for approximately 7 hours, if it is fully charged. To set time and date, see page 42. |
