Overview

This document outlines the features and functionalities of the Imo Dash 4G mobile phone. It covers everything from basic phone operations to multimedia, internet, and security settings, providing a comprehensive guide for users.

Your Mobile Phone

The Imo Dash 4G is a mobile phone designed for essential communication and multimedia functions. It features a standard keypad, a display screen, and various ports for connectivity.

Getting to know your phone

The phone's layout includes a receiver for calls, a display for viewing information, and a Centre soft key for confirming options. The Left and Right soft keys are used for navigation and returning to previous screens or closing dialog boxes. A Dial key allows access to the call log, while the End key is used to terminate calls. Navigation keys provide shortcut access to menus and allow movement within selections. Special keys like "*" and "#" have multiple functions, including inputting symbols and changing input methods. The "0" key can be long-pressed to switch the torch on or off. A microphone is integrated for voice input.

Removing the back cover

To access internal components like the battery and SIM card, the back cover needs to be removed. Ensure the device is turned off before proceeding. Hold the device with the front panel facing down and gently pull the lower half of the back cover with your thumb or fingers to detach it from the opening.

Installing the SIM card

The SIM card is crucial for phone number, service details, and memory for contacts and messages. Before installation, ensure the phone is turned off. Insert the SIM card into the designated slot with the gold contacts facing down and the cut-off corner facing outwards, as illustrated in the diagram. The Imo Dash 4G supports only nano-SIM cards. Attempting to insert other SIM types like micro or mini cards may damage the phone.

Installing and charging the battery

After the SIM card is installed, the battery can be inserted. For first-time use, the battery needs to be charged. Connect the adaptor to the charger jack, ensuring correct orientation to avoid forcing the connector. Plug the charger into a standard AC wall outlet. Disconnect the charger once the battery is fully charged.

Installing a microSD card

To expand storage for media and applications, insert a microSD card into its slot with the gold contacts facing down. The camera and photo gallery applications require an SD card to function, so it's recommended to keep it installed and avoid random removal or replacement.

Turning your phone on / off

To power on the phone, press and hold the End / Power on key for approximately 5 seconds until the device powers up. To power off, navigate to the main menu, then press and hold the End / Power key for about 5 seconds.

The call list, accessible by pressing the Call key once, displays previously dialed numbers and contacts, including Missed, Dialed, Received, and Rejected Calls.

For international calls, press the "*" key twice to enter "+" before dialing the country prefix and phone number, then press the Call key. Emergency calls can be made by dialing the emergency number and pressing the Call key, even without a SIM card.
