5 When you are sure that the SIM card is correctly installed, replace the
battery.

connect the communicator to the charger and start charging the battery
before continuing with the start-up procedure. See ”Battery” on page 27.

the communicator performs a self-test.

display, see figure 4. Scroll the dark grey selection frame using the arrow
keys on the keyboard over the name of your home country. Press the
button on the right side of the display next to the command OK. The
capital of your home country will be set as your home city. You can change
your home city later in the Clock application, see ”Clock” on page 138.

into place! Check that you have inserted the SIM card

communicator.
