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 unauthorized 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.

Prolong battery life
Many features in your device increase the demand on
battery power and reduce the battery life time. To save
battery power, observe the following:
•Features that use Bluetooth technology, or allowing
such features to run in the background while using
other features, increase the demand on battery
power. Switch off Bluetooth 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. The WLAN on your Nokia device switches off
when you are not trying to connect, not connected to
another access point, or not scanning for available
networks. To further reduce battery consumption, you
can specify that your device 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 GPRS 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 dual mode 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
13
Find help

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
•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.
•Images and video clips in Photos. Back up the files to
a compatible computer.
