2. Preparing the phone for use
Before you can use your new phone, you need to:
1Insert a miniature SIM card (available from your service
provider).
2Attach and charge the battery.
If you purchased an optional analog module, you should
attach it to the phone.
Note: The analog module is a separate accessory that may be
purchased from your service provider. It allows you to make
and receive calls in analog networks. See ‘Optional analog
module’ on page 70.
Inserting the SIM card
The SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by
scratches or bending, so be careful when you handle, insert,
or remove the card.
Note: Keep all miniature SIM cards out of small children’s
reach.
1Ensure that the phone is off and the battery is not
attached.
2Open the SIM card holder on
the back of the phone by
sliding the latch toward the
top of the phone, then lifting
it up.
3Place the SIM card in the
slot. Make sure that the
bevelled corner is at top right
and the card’s gold contacts
face into the phone.

4
4Close the holder.
5Slide the SIM card holder
toward the bottom of the
phone until it locks into
place.
6Attach 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.
Attaching the battery
when using optional
analog module
1Place the analog module
on the back of the phone.
2Slide the module toward
the top of the phone until it
clicks into place.
3Place the battery on top
of the analog module.
4Slide the battery toward
the top of the phone until it
clicks into place.

5
Removing the battery
Note: Switch off the phone before removing the battery!
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.
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.
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 120V AC 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 indicator does not scroll the entire time; this
is normal.
Problems charging
If your phone displays Not charging, 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.

6
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 Battery low, you only have a couple of
minutes of talk time left.
Can I make calls while charging?
Yes, but your battery may not charge during a call. Charging
should resume once you end the 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.
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.

7
• 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!
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with any local
regulations.

3. About the phone, keys and menu
Power key
The power key has several functions:
• To turn the phone on or off, press and hold it down.
• When the phone is not attached to a headset or
handsfree car kit, you can press to select a quick alert
setting (see page 21).
• To turn the lights on when Keyguard is on, press .
Nokia Navi™ key
Your phone’s Navi™ key appears
below the display. Its current function
is indicated by the word that appears
above it (for example, Menu). Simply
press the Navi™ key to perform the
function.
Throughout this guide, when you see “press Menu,” “press
Listen,” etc., press the Navi™ key when that word appears
above it.
Scroll keys
The scroll keys are located to the right of the
Navi™ key. Use the scroll keys to browse menus and move
the cursor (see page 12) to the right or the left.
Clear key
Use the key to:
• delete a character to the left of the cursor
• clear all characters from the display (press and hold)
• return to the previous menu level
• return from the menu to the start screen (press and hold)
• reject an incoming call

9
Lights
To turn your phone’s lights on for 15 seconds:
• if Keyguard is off, press any key
• if Keyguard is on, briefly press the key
Start screen
The start screen appears when you first
turn on your phone. Menu appears
above the Navi™ key so you can access
your phone’s menu. Your phone must
be at the start screen in order to use
many of its features.
To get to the start screen, press and hold for a second.
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 Menu 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 15 seconds for
the text to appear. Press More or to see the next page
of text, to see the previous page, or to return to
the menu.

10
Phone 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 features. For
example, to access the Security settings menu, you
can simply press Menu 4 2.
Note: (1) Menu items in your phone vary depending on the
network, SIM card, and accessories used. (2) If your phone
has a Menu 10, to use shortcuts for Menu 1 you must press 0
first (for example, for Send entry press Menu 0 1 5).
