Installing the USIM cards
The USIM card stores information as your personal phone number, PIN code, carrier services numbers, contacts and other important details. To access the USIM slots, turn off the phone, take off the back cover by unscrewing the two big screws on the cover and lifting it up and extract the battery. Insert USIM2 by sliding it with its golden contacts facing downwards. USIM1 supports WCDMA, it should be installed after installing the memory card since its slot contains the micro-SD slot. Open the metallic grid by pushing it into the “open” position. Insert the USIM card into the metallic grid so that the metallic contact will be turned downwards when you close the grid. Push the grid into the “Lock” direction to close it.
Installing the memory card
In order to use all functions of NGM WEMOVE EXPLORER, it is advisable to install a micro-SD card: it must be inserted in the back side of the phone, after powering it off and removing the battery. A dedicated slot fort the memory card is placed under the USIM1-slot. Unlock the micro-SD grid by pushing it into the "Open" direction. Slide in the memory card into the opened metallic grid so that the gold contacts will be facing downwards when you close the grid. Close the grid and push it into the "Lock" position.
Inserting the battery
Your device is provided with a lithium-ion battery and is designed to be used exclusively with original NGM batteries and chargers. The battery must be inserted into the backside of the phone (see illustration below) with the battery contacts facing the contacts in the battery tray. When done, put the hind cover back into position and close the screws by turning them clockwise with the dedicated screwdriver.

Please charge the battery completely before starting to use the device. Use the provided USB cable, connecting one end to the provided wall socket adaptor (placed into a socket) and the other end to the USB connector placed on the lower side of the phone. The phone can also be charged by connecting it to a PC USB port. While the battery is charging, an animation on screen will show the charging progress if the phone is on. Once charge is completed, the icon will be filled and the phone can be disconnected from the grid. If the phone is off, the signaling LED will be red during the charging process and it will turn green when charging is completed.
Warning: Do not connect the phone to a booting-up or running down PC to avoid voltage jumps. In order to preserve the correct functioning of the device and in order not to compromise warranty, the sole use of original NGM battery chargers and accessories are recommended. Please charge the battery indoors, in a dry and favorable environment. It's normal for the battery to get slightly warm during the charging process. The battery will reach the full capacity when cycled several times.

Information on SAR certifications
Cell phones are radio transceivers. They have been projected not to exceed the radio wave exposition limits recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines have been determined by the international independent scientific organizations ICNRP and IEEE and include security limits to ensure protection to all persons, independently from their age and health conditions.
This phone meets European Union (EU) requirements concerning exposure to radio waves coming from telecommunication and radio devices. The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). The SAR limit recommended by the EU Council is 2.0 W/kg averaged over ten grams of body tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear was 0,498 watt/kg [1,2]. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power output of the phone. The
Declaration of Conformity here above proves that the designated product is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the R&TTE - Directive (European Radio & Terminal Telecommunications Equipment)1999/5/EC
[1] These controls have been made according to international guidelines on controls.
[2] For the use next to the body, this telephone model has been controlled and is conform to the directives for the exposition to electromagnetic radiation, when used with accessories provided by or approved by NGM and not containing metallic parts and that position the mobile phone at least at 1.5 cm distance from the body.
Warnings
WHO (World Health Organization) confirms that the actual scientific information does not indicate the necessity to adapt particular precautions for the use of cell phones.
Nevertheless, for all those users not comforted by these data, NGM advises to limit their own and their children's exposure, for instance by reducing the calling time, or by using earpieces or hands-free devices to keep the mobile phone distant from the body and the head.
For more information on the argument, NGM invites to consult the WHO document (Fact sheet N°193, June 2011) entitled Electromagnetic fields and public health: mobile phones at the following web address:
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/index.html
NGM advises to use mobile devices of any brand or model with moderation and to keep them at a minimum distance of 1.5cm from the body or to use earpieces or other hands-free devices.
