Your device may have internal and external antennas.
As with any radio transmitting device, avoid touching
the antenna area unnecessarily while the antenna is
transmitting or receiving. Contact with such an
antenna affects the communication quality and may
cause the device to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed and may reduce the battery
life.

Memory card
Use only compatible microSD cards approved by Nokia
for use with this device. Nokia uses approved industry
standards for memory cards, but some brands may not
be fully compatible with this device. Incompatible
cards may damage the card and the device and corrupt
data stored on the card.

A memory card may be already inserted in the device.

1. Place your finger in the recess beside the cover of
the memory card slot, and lift the cover. Pull the
cover to the left to reveal the hinge, and swing the
cover to the side.

memory card in the slot.
Ensure that the contact
area on the card is facing
down and towards the slot.

hear a click when the

and close the cover.
Ensure that the cover is
properly closed.

Charge the battery
1. Connect a compatible
charger to a wall outlet.
2. Connect the power cord
to the device. If the
battery is completely
discharged, it may take
a while before the
charging indicator starts
scrolling.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the charging
indicator stops scrolling. Disconnect the charger
from the device, then from the wall outlet.
Tip: Disconnect the charger from the wall outlet
when the charger is not in use. A charger that is
connected to the outlet consumes power even
when it is not connected to the device.
