Failure to comply with these guidelines may be dangerous
or illegal.
Road Safety Comes First
Don’t use a hand-held phone while driving; park the
vehicle first.
Switch Off In Hospitals
Follow any regulations or rules. Switch phone off near
medical equipment.
Switch Off On Aircraft
Wireless phones can cause interference. Using them on
aircraft is illegal.
Switch Off When Refueling
Don’t use phone at a refueling point. Don’t use near fuel or
chemicals.
Switch Off Near Blasting
Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress.
Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.
Interference
All wireless phones may get interference which could
affect performance.
Use Sensibly
Use only in the normal position (to ear). Don’t touch the
antenna unnecessarily.
Qualified Service
Only qualified service personnel must install or repair
equipment.
Accessories and Batteries
Use only approved accessories and batteries. Do not
connect incompatible products.

FCC/Industry Canada Notice
Your phone may cause TV or radio interference (for example,
when using a telephone in close proximity to receiving
equipment). The FCC or Industry Canada can require you to
stop using your telephone if such interference cannot be
eliminated. If you require assistance, contact your local
service facility.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the condition that this device does
not cause harmful interference.
Using this Guide
The wireless phone described in this guide is approved for
use in TDMA and AMPS networks.
Network services
A number of features included in this guide are called
network services. They are special services provided by
wireless service providers. Before you can take advantage of
any of these network services, you must subscribe to the
service(s) from your home service provider and obtain
instructions for their use.
Updates
The latest version of this Owner’s Manual may be found on
Nokia’s World Wide Web site at www.nokia.com.

2. Battery installation & charging
Before you can use your new phone, you need to attach and
charge the battery.
Attaching the battery
To attach the battery, place it
on the back of the phone as
shown and slide it toward the
top of the phone until it clicks
into place.
Battery charging
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable NiMH or Li-Ion
battery. Note that a new NiMH battery’s full performance is
achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles. For charging times, see ‘Charging times’ on
page 58.
How to charge your battery
Connect the lead from the charger to the bottom of your
phone or to a charging stand. Then plug the charger into a
standard wall outlet.
When the battery is charging, the battery strength indicator
on the right side of the display scrolls.
Note: When you charge the battery for the first time, the
battery strength indicatorwill not scroll the entire time; this
isnormal.

4
Problems charging
If your phone displays 1RW FKDUJLQJ, charging is suspended.
Check that the battery is connected to an approved
charging device. If the battery is very hot or cold, wait for a
while; charging will automatically resume after the battery
is restored to its normal operating state. If charging still
fails, contact your dealer.
When is charging complete?
When the charge indicators stop scrolling, your
phone is considered fully charged. However, a
slight increase in charge may occur if you leave
your phone connected to the charger.
When is a good time to charge?
You can charge anytime, but remember that when your
phone displays %DWWHU\ ORZ, you only have a couple of
minutes of talk time left.
Can I make calls while charging?
Yes, but depending on the charger used, your battery may
not charge during a call.
Discharging NiMH batteries
For good operation times, discharge NiMH batteries from
time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it
turns itself off (or by using the battery discharge facility of
any approved accessory available for your phone). Do not
attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
Removing the battery
Note: Switch off the phone before removing the battery!

5
1Press and hold the
button at the top of the
battery.
2Slide the battery
toward the bottom of
the phone.
3Lift the battery off the
phone.
Important battery information
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times
but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk
time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is
time to buy a new battery.
• Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and
recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the
manufacturer. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from
the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a
charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten
its life. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself
over time.
• Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to
charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.
• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can
occur when a metallic object (coin, clip, or pen) causes direct
connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips
on the back of the battery), for example when you carry a spare
battery in your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminals
may damage the battery or the connecting object.
• Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car
in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between
59º F and 77º F (15º C and 25º C). A phone with a hot or cold
battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully
charged. NiMH batteries’ performance is particularly limited in
temperatures below 14º F (-10º C). Li-ion batteries’ performance
is particularly limited in temperatures below 32º F (0º C).
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
• Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. They must not
be disposed of in municipal waste.

below the display. Its current function
is indicated by the word that appears
above it (for example, 0HQX). Simply

function.
Throughout this guide, when you see “press 0HQX,” “press
/LVWHQ,” etc., press the Navi™ key when that word appears
above it.

• access the in-call menu while in a call
Lights
To turn your phone’s lights on for 15 seconds:
• if Keyguard is off, press any key
• if Keyguard is on, you must press the key briefly (this
conserves battery power by keeping the lights from
turning on when the phone is in a pocket or purse)
For information about controlling your phone’s lights when
the phone is in a car kit, see page 22.
External antenna jack
At the back of the phone, below the antenna, there is a
connector for an external antenna. The connector may be
protected by a rubber cap. Remove the cap before
connecting an external antenna. After removing the
antenna, replace the cap.
Note: Keep the cap out of the reach of small children.
Start screen
The start screen appears when you first
turn on your phone. 0HQX appears
above the Navi™ key so you can access
your phone’s menu. Several features
can be used only when the phone is at
the start screen.

8
To get tothe start screen, press and hold for a second.
(If there are characters on the display this clears the
characters, then you must press and hold again.)
Menu
Your phone’s menu allows you to easily access the many
powerful features in your phone.
Scroll bar
When you use your phone’s menu, a scroll bar
appears at the far right of the screen. This bar
indicates where you are in the menu; each tab
location on the bar represents a different menu
item.
For example, press 0HQX once. The scroll bar appears with
the first (top) tab displayed. A different tab appears each
time you press one of the scroll keys .
Help text
Many menu items have brief help text. To view the help text,
scroll to the menu item and wait for about 10 seconds for
the text to appear. Press 0RUH or to see the next page of
text, to see the previous page, or to return to the
menu.

9
Menu shortcuts
When you select a menu item, numbers appear on
the display above the scroll bar. If you become
familiar with these numbers, you can use them as
shortcuts for accessing different menu items. For
example, to access the 3KRQH VHWWLQJV menu, you
can simply press 0HQX 4 2. The phone displays the first item
in that menu, 7RXFK WRQHV.
Note: (1) Menu itemsin your phone varydepending on the
network and accessories used. (2) This is not a complete list;
see entries about individual features for more information.
