Preparing Your Phone for Use
The SIM Card Open the holder.
When you register as a subscriber with a network

operator, you obtain a SIM card.
SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit
card, and the other is considerably smaller (about the
size of a regular stamp). The SH 888 uses the smaller
card. Many operators deliver credit card sized SIM cards
which have a perforated smaller card that you can take
out easily.
Before you can use your phone, you must insert the SIM
card into the phone.

cheaper nickel cadmium type batteries, often sold as
accessories from other suppliers. For optimal talk and
standby time in the long run, we recommend that you
only use Ericsson original batteries with your SH 888.
To remind you that the battery will soon need to be
charged or replaced with a charged one:

• an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the mes-
sage ‘Battery low’ appears for ten seconds in the
display.
• the indicator light on top of the phone starts blink-
ing red.
Note! If the phone is left turned on, the low battery alarm will
be repeated several times and, finally, the phone will
turn itself off when the battery is no longer able to
power it satisfactorily. It might be possible to turn the
phone on again, but you will not be able to make or re-
ceive any calls. You should charge the battery or re-
place it with a charged one.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone when in any area with a poten-
tially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone
or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bod-
ily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are of-
ten, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuel-
ling areas, such as petrol stations, below deck on boats,
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or ex-
plosives in the compartment of your vehicle which con-
tains your phone and accessories.
Product Care
• Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or
extreme temperatures.
• Do not use any other accessories than Ericsson
originals. Failure to do so may result in loss of per-
formance, fire, electric shock or injury, and will
void the warranty.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing
so will void warranty. This product does not con-
tain consumer serviceable components. Service
should only be performed by Authorized Service
Centres.
