To charge the battery, you will need the USB cable and AC adaptor supplied with the SmartVision2. First, use the USB cable to connect the SmartVision2 port to the AC adaptor, then plug the AC adaptor into an outlet. You can also charge the product by connecting the USB cable directly to your computer.

To turn your device off, press and hold the On/Off button to display the "Main Menu" then select "Power Off" and confirm the action. A short vibration is issued when SmartVision2 is turned off.

Quick settings at launch
When you first start your SmartVision2, a series of screens let you set up your smartphone quickly.
Step 1: Language selection
Use the navigation arrows to select your language and press the "OK" key.
A confirmation message is then voiced in the selected language. Confirm your choice by selecting "OK" or select "Cancel" to return a screen back.
Step 2: Enabling Accessibility

When this last step is completed, the SmartVision2 starts up normally and the screen to select the PIN code of your SIM card appears.

You SIM card is supplied by your operator with a 4-digit identification code called a PIN code. This code allows you to protect your SIM card against possible fraudulent use. To unlock the SIM card and access all the SmartVision2 functions, enter your PIN code and press "OK".
