Settings
Your device normally has MMS, GPRS, streaming, and
mobile internet settings automatically configured, based
on your network service provider information. You may
have settings from your service providers already installed
in your device, or you may receive or request the settings
from the network service providers as a special message.
You can change the general settings in your device, such
as language, standby mode, display, and keypad lock
settings.
Access codes
If you forget any of the access codes, contact your service
provider.
Personal identification number (PIN) code — This code
protects your SIM card against unauthorised use. The PIN
code (4 to 8 digits) is usually supplied with the SIM card.
After three consecutive incorrect PIN code entries, the
code is blocked, and you need the PUK code to unblock it.
UPIN code — This code may be supplied with the USIM
card. The USIM card is an enhanced version of the SIM card
and is supported by UMTS mobile phones.
PIN2 code — This code (4 to 8 digits) is supplied with some
SIM cards, and is required to access some functions in your
device.
Lock code (also known as security code) — The lock code
helps you to protect your device against unauthorised use.
The preset code is 12345. You can create and change the
code, and set the device to request the code. Keep the new
code secret and in a safe place separate from your device.
If you forget the code and your device is locked, your
device will require service. Additional charges may apply,
and all the personal data in your device may be deleted.
For more information, contact a Nokia Care point or your
device dealer.
Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) code and PUK2
code — These codes (8 digits) are required to change a
blocked PIN code or PIN2 code, respectively. If the codes
are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the operator
whose SIM card is in your device.

Prolong battery life
Many features in your device increase the demand on
battery power and reduce the battery lifetime. To save
battery power, note the following:
10
Find help

•Features that use Bluetooth technology, or allowing
such features to run in the background while using
other features, increase the demand on battery
power. Deactivate Bluetooth technology when you do
not need it.
•Features that use wireless LAN (WLAN), or allowing
such features to run in the background while using
other features, increase the demand on battery
power. WLAN on your Nokia device deactivates when
you are not trying to connect, not connected to an
access point, or not scanning for available networks.
To further reduce battery consumption, you can
specify that your device does not scan, or scans less
often, for available networks in the background.
•If you have set Packet data connection to When
available in connection settings, and there is no
packet data coverage (GPRS), the device periodically
tries to establish a packet data connection. To prolong
the operating time of your device, select Packet data
connection > When needed.
•The Maps application downloads new map
information when you scroll to new areas on the map,
which increases the demand on battery power. You
can prevent the automatic download of new maps.
•If the signal strength of the cellular network varies
much in your area, your device must scan for the
available network repeatedly. This increases the
demand on battery power.
If the network mode is set to dualmode in the network
settings, the device searches for the 3G network. You
can set the device to use only the GSM network. To use
only the GSM network, select Menu > Settings and
Connectivity > Network > Network mode > GSM.
•The backlight of the display increases the demand on
battery power. In the display settings, you can change
the length of the time-out period after which the
backlight is switched off. Select Menu > Settings and
Phone > Display > Light time-out. To adjust the
light sensor that observes lighting conditions and
adjusts the display brightness, in the display settings,
select Light sensor.
•Leaving applications running in the background
increases the demand on battery power. To close the
applications you are not using, if they are not
responding, select Options > Show open apps., and
go to the application using the menu key. Press and
hold the menu key to open the application, and select
Options > Exit.
Free memory
To view how much space is available for different data
types, select Menu > Applications > Office > File mgr..
Many features of the device use memory to store data. The
device notifies you if the memory in different memory
locations is low.
To free memory, transfer data to a compatible memory
card (if available) or to a compatible computer.
To remove data you no longer need, use File manager or
open the respective application. You can remove the
following:
•Messages in the folders in Messaging and retrieved e-
mail messages in the mailbox
11
Find help

•Saved web pages
•Contact information
•Calendar notes
•Applications shown in Application manager that you
do not need
•Installation files (.sis or .sisx) of applications you have
installed. Transfer the installation files to a compatible
computer.

some cases, it may take a very long time for charging
to start and the device to start functioning.
2 If your device is switched on, you can select from the
available USB mode options on the display of the
device.
Headset
You can connect a compatible headset or compatible
headphones to your device. You may need to select the
cable mode.
Some headsets come in two parts, a remote control unit
