2 An overview of functions
• MESSAGING CONCEPT
Your phone combines the functions of a normal mobile phone and a messaging
device. With the flip closed, you can use all the functions of the phone like in
any other mobile. By opening the flip of the phone, you will find an additional
messaging keyboard that is especially designed for easy text writing. See “Writing
text” on page 32.
• MULTIMEDIA MESSAGING SERVICE (MMS)
Your phone is able to send and receive multimedia messages made up of text and
pictures. You may also be able to send and receive polyphonic ringing tones, and
save pictures and ringing tones to personalize your phone. See “Multimedia messages”
on page 49 for more information.
• POLYPHONIC SOUND (MIDI)
Polyphonic sounds are used in ringing tones, alarm clock tones and message
alert tones. They consist of several sound components played at the same time,
like an actual melody through a speaker. Your phone has sound components from
over 40 instruments that can be used for polyphonic sounds but the phone can play
four instruments simultaneously. The phone supports scalable polyphonic MIDI
(SP-MIDI) format.
You can receive polyphonic ringing tones using multimedia service, (see “Reading
and replying to a multimedia message” on page 51), or download them to the
gallery menu, see “Gallery (Menu 8)” on page 78 for more information.
• GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICE (GPRS)
GPRS technology allows mobile phones to send and receive data over a mobile
network. Applications such as WAP, MMS and SMS messaging, and Java may
use GPRS.
Your phone supports up to three simultaneous GPRS connections. For more information
on GPRS, see “GPRS” on page 89. Also, consult the PC Connectivity Guide. The PC
Connectivity guide, Nokia PC Suite, and all related software can be downloaded
from the Download Software section of www.nokia.ca.
Before you can use GPRS technology
Contact your network operator or service provider for availability and subscription
to the GPRS service. Also, save the GPRS settings for each of the applications used
over GPRS.

An overview of functions
PRICING FOR GPRS AND APPLICATIONS
Your wireless provider may charge for GPRS services. For more information on
pricing, contact your wireless provider.
• SPEAKERPHONE
You can use your phone as a speakerphone during a call. To activate the speakerphone,
press Loudsp. To deactivate the speakerphone during a call, press Handset. The
speakerphone deactivates when you end the call or when you connect a headset.
• MIDP JAVA APPLICATIONS
Your phone supports Java and includes some Java applications and games that
have been specially designed for mobile phones. You may be able to download new
applications and games to your phone from a PC with a Java installer software or
from some mobile Internet services. See “Applications (Menu 10)” on page 80 for
more information.
• FM RADIO
Your phone has an integrated FM radio. You can listen to the radio through a
headset, the music stand, or the handsfree speaker (headset must be attached).
Also, you can use the radio as an alarm tone. See “Set the alarm tone” on page 71
and “Radio (Menu 7)” on page 75 for more information.
• OVER THE AIR (OTA) SETTINGS SERVICE
In order to use WAP, MMS, GPRS and other wireless services, you need to have
proper settings on your phone. You may receive the settings directly as an OTA
message and you only need to save the settings on your phone. For more information
on the availability of the settings, contact your network operator, service provider
or the nearest authorized Nokia dealer.
• SHARED MEMORY
The following features in this phone may share memory: contacts, text and multimedia
messages, images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar, to-do lists, notes application,
Java games and applications, and e-mail. Using any such features may reduce the
memory available for any features sharing memory. This is especially true with heavy
use of any of the features, although some of the features may have a certain amount
of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the amount of memory shared
with other features. For example, saving many images, bookmarks, Java applications,
or other features sharing memory may take all of the shared memory and your phone
may display a message that the memory is full. In this case, delete some of the
information or entries stored in the shared memory features before continuing.

Battery
CHARGE THE BATTERY
1Plug the charger in to a standard AC outlet.
2Insert the charger output plug into the round
connector at the bottom end of the phone.
After a few seconds, the battery indicator in
the display starts to scroll from bottom to
top. If the battery is completely discharged, it
may take a few minutes before the charging
indicator appears on the display or any calls
can be made.
Tip: You can use the phone while the charger is connected.
IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION
Important: Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. The Nokia 6800
phone uses only the BLC-2 Li-Ion battery.
Use only batteries approved by Nokia and recharge your battery only with the
chargers approved by Nokia. Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
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.
PROLONG THE BATTERY LIFE
Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from your battery:
• With your phone turned off, charge your new battery for three hours before
its first use. Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Repeat this procedure
twice for a total of three charging cycles.

• Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles. Battery operation time may be less
than the estimated times during the first charges. This condition is normal.
• You can use your phone while the battery is charging. However, if the battery
is completely empty, it may need to recharge a few minutes before you can
make or receive calls or the battery indicator appears.
• After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the charging
cycle, but the calls interrupt the charge. When the phone call ends, the charge
will resume.
• The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the phone is
fully charged. If you switch the phone on when charging is complete, the
message Battery full momentarily appears in the display.
Charging time depends on the charger and the battery used. For example, charging
a BLC-2 battery with the ACP-12U charger takes about two hours in standby mode.
Important: When the phone’s battery is fully charged, be sure to disconnect
the phone from the charger.
REMOVE THE BACK COVER
With the back of the phone facing you,
push the back cover release button.
Note: Before removing the cover,
always switch off the power and
disconnect the charger and any
other device. Avoid touching
electronic components while the
cover is removed. Always store
and use the device with the cover attached.
REMOVE THE BATTERY
After you have removed the back cover, insert
your finger into the finger grip and lift the
battery from its compartment.
