For your safety
7 Copyright © 2006 Nokia. All rights reserved.
WATER-RESISTANCE
Your phone is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.
BACK-UP COPIES
Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all
important information stored in your phone.
CONNECTING TO OTHER DEVICES
When connecting to any other device, read its user guide for detailed
safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
EMERGENCY CALLS
Ensure the phone is switched on and in service. Press the end key as
many times as needed to clear the display and return to the start
screen. Enter the emergency number, then press the call key. Give your
location. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.
■About your device
The wireless device described in this guide is approved for use on the EGSM 900;
GSM 1800 and1900; and WCDMA2100 networks. Contact your service provider
for more information about networks.
When you use the features in this device, obey all laws and respect privacy and
legitimate rights of others.
When you take and use images or video clips, obey all laws and respect local
customs as well as privacy and legitimate rights of others.
Warning: To use any features in this device, other than the alarm clock,
the device must be switched on. Do not switch the device on when
wireless device use may cause interference or danger.
■Network services
To use the phone you must have service from a wireless service provider. Many of
the features in this device depend on features in the wireless network to
function. These network services may not be available on all networks or you may
have to make specific arrangements with your service provider before you can
utilize network services. Your service provider may need to give you additional
instructions for their use and explain what charges will apply. Some networks
may have limitations that affect how you can use network services. For instance,
some networks may not support all language-dependent characters and services.
Your service provider may have requested that certain features be disabled or not
activated in your device. If so, they will not appear on your device menu. Your

device may also have been specially configured. This configuration may include
changes in menu names, menu order, and icons. Contact your service provider for
more information.
This device supports WAP 2.0 protocols (HTTP and SSL) that run on TCP/IP
protocols. Some features of this device, such as multimedia messaging (MMS),
browsing, instant messaging, presence-enhanced contacts, remote
synchronization, and content downloading using the browser or MMS, require
network support for these technologies.
■Shared memory
The following features in this device may share memory: my items, contacts, text
messages, multimedia messages, instant messages, e-mail, calendar, to-do notes,
JavaTM games and applications, and note application. Use of one or more of these
features may reduce the memory available for the remaining features sharing
memory. For example, saving many Java applications may use all of the available
memory. Your device may display a message that the memory is full when you try
to use a shared memory feature. In this case, delete some of the information or
entries stored in the shared memory features before continuing. Some of the
features, such as text messages, may have a certain amount of memory specially
allotted to them in addition to the memory shared with other features.
■Enhancements
A few practical rules about accessories and enhancements.
• Keep all accessories and enhancements out of the reach of small children.
• When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory or enhancement, grasp
and pull the plug, not the cord.
• Check regularly that enhancements installed in a vehicle are mounted and
are operating properly.
• Installation of any complex car enhancements must be made by qualified
personnel only.

General information
■Access codes
Security code
The security code (5 to 10 digits) helps to protect your phone against
unauthorized use. The preset code is 12345. To change the code, and to
set the phone to request the code, see “Security,” p. 101.
If you enter an incorrect security code five times in succession, the
phone ignores further entries of the code. Wait for 5 minutes, and enter
the code again.
PIN codes
The personal identification number (PIN) code and the universal
personal identification number (UPIN) code (4 to 8 digits) help to
protect your SIM card against unauthorized use. See “Security,” p. 101.
The PIN code is usually supplied with the SIM card. Set the phone to
request the PIN code each time the phone is switched on.
The PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits) may be supplied with the SIM card and is
required for some functions.
The module PIN is required to access the information in the security
module. See “Security module,” p. 43. The module PIN is supplied with
the SIM card if the SIM card has a security module in it.
The signing PIN is required for the digital signature. See “Digital
signature,” p. 44. The signing PIN is supplied with the SIM card if the
SIM card has a security module in it.
PUK codes
The personal unblocking key (PUK) code and the universal personal
unblocking key (UPUK) code (8 digits) is required to change a blocked
PIN code and UPIN code, respectively. If the codes are not supplied with
the SIM card, contact your service provider for the codes.

General information
10 Copyright © 2006 Nokia. All rights reserved.
Barring password
The barring password (4 digits) is required when you use the Call barring
service. See “Security,” p. 101. You can obtain the password from your
service provider. If you enter an incorrect barring password three times
in succession, the password is blocked. Contact your service provider or
network operator.
■Configuration settings service
Before you use multimedia messaging, instant messaging and presence,
push to talk, email, synchronization, streaming, and the browser, you
must have the proper configuration settings on your phone. You may
receive the settings directly as a configuration message, which you save
to your phone. For more information on availability, contact your
network operator, service provider, or nearest authorized Nokia dealer.
When you have received the settings as a configuration message, and
the settings are not automatically saved and activated, Configuration
settings received is displayed.
To save the received settings, select Show > Save. If the phone requests
Enter settings’ PIN:, enter the PIN code for the settings, and select OK. To
receive the PIN code, contact the service provider that supplies the
settings.
If no settings are saved, these settings are saved and set as default
configuration settings. Otherwise, the phone asks, Activate saved
configuration settings?
To discard the received settings, select Show > Discard.
■Download content and applications
You may be able to download content, such as themes, tones, and video
clips, to the phone (network service). Select the download function (for
example, in My Items). To access the download function, see the
respective menu descriptions. For availability of different services,
pricing, and tariffs, contact your service provider.
Important: Use only services that you trust and that offer adequate
security and protection against harmful software.

■Install a memory card
The phone’s microSD card included with your
phone contains preloaded ringing tones, themes,
tones, and graphics. If you delete, reload, or
replace this card, these functions and features
may not function properly.
Use only compatible microSD cards with this device. Other memory cards, such as
reduced size MMCs, do not fit in the memory card slot and are not compatible
with this device. Using an incompatible memory card may damage the memory
card as well as the device, and data stored on the incompatible card may be
corrupted.

Get started
14 Copyright © 2006 Nokia. All rights reserved.
Use only microSD cards approved by Nokia for use with this device. Nokia utilizes
the approved industry standards for memory cards but not all other brands may
function correctly or be fully compatible with this device.
You can use a memory card to extend the memory of My Items. See “My
Items,” p. 70.
You can insert or change the memory card without switching the phone
off.
Important: Do not remove the memory card in the middle of an
operation when the card is being accessed. Removing the card in the
middle of an operation may damage the memory card as well as the
device, and data stored on the card may be corrupted.
To insert the memory card, open the memory card holder as shown (1).
Place the memory card in the card holder (2). Make sure that the
memory card is properly inserted—that it clicks into the holder—and
that the gold-colored contact area on the card is facing upwards. Close
the memory card holder.
You can use the memory card to save your multimedia files, such as
video clips, sound files, and images, in My Items.
To format the memory card, see “Format memory card,” p. 70.
■Charge the battery
Check the model number of any charger before use with this device. This device is
intended for use when supplied with power from the AC-4, AC-1, AC-3, or DC-4
charger.

Get started
15 Copyright © 2006 Nokia. All rights reserved.
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and enhancements approved by
Nokia for use with this particular model. The use of any other types may
invalidate any approval or warranty, and may be dangerous.
For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When
you disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not
the cord.
1. Connect the charger to a wall outlet.
2. Connect the plug from the charger
into the CA-44 charging adapter (not
provided with the phone), and the
adapter plug into the jack on the
bottom of your phone.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes
before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any
calls can be made.
The charging time depends on the charger and the battery used. For
example, charging a BP-6M Li-Ion battery with the AC-4 charger takes
about 1 hour and 55 minutes while the phone is in the standby mode.
■Switch the phone on and off
Warning: Do not switch the phone on when wireless phone use is
prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
Press and hold the power key as shown.
If the phone asks for a PIN or UPIN code, enter the code,
and select OK.

SIM card inserted. In this mode, all bearer-independent
features are available, and you can make emergency
calls.
Set the time, time zone, and date
Enter the local time, select the time zone of your location in terms of the
time difference with respect to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and enter
the date. See “Time and date,” p. 90.

Get started
16 Copyright © 2006 Nokia. All rights reserved.
Plug and play service
When you switch on your phone for the first time, and the phone is in
the standby mode, you may be asked to get the configuration settings
from your service provider (network service). Confirm or decline the
query. See Connect to serv. support in “Configuration,” p. 100 and
“Configuration settings service,” p. 10.
■Demo mode
To start up the phone without the SIM card, accept Start up phone
without SIM card? . Then use those features that do not require the SIM
card.
■Normal operating position
Use the phone only in its normal operating position.
Your device has an internal antenna.
Note: As with any other radio transmitting
device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily
when the device is switched on. Contact with
the antenna affects call quality and may cause
the device to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed. Avoiding contact with
the antenna area when operating the device
optimizes the antenna performance and the
battery life.
