1. Introduction
The foldable Nokia Wireless Keyboard enables you to enter text in comfort. Use
the full QWERTY keyboard with a Bluetooth connection to get the best out of the
messaging applications in your compatible mobile phone. Write text messages
and emails, or edit your calendar entries; combine productivity with style.
The keyboard comes with two AAA batteries and a MultiMediaCard (MMC)
memory card that includes the Wireless Keyboard software application. This
application is needed to use the keyboard with your compatible phone.
Read this user guide carefully before using the keyboard. Also read the user guide
for your phone, which provides important safety and maintenance information.
Your device may contain small parts. Keep them out of reach of small children.
■Bluetooth wireless technology
The Wireless Keyboard SU-8W is specially designed for compatible Nokia phones
with the Series 60 user interface that support Bluetooth wireless technology. The
keyboard supports the Human Interface Device profile 1.0. (A profile is a set of
Bluetooth commands that the phone uses to control the keyboard.)
A Bluetooth connection does not require that the compatible phone and the
keyboard be in line of sight, but both devices should be within 10 metres of each
other. Connections can be subject to interference from obstructions, such as walls
or other electronic devices.

Copyright © 2004 Nokia. All rights reserved. 6
The Wireless Keyboard SU-8W is compliant with and adopts the Bluetooth
Specification 1.1. However, interoperability between the keyboard and other
Bluetooth-enabled products is not guaranteed because it depends on
compatibility. For compatibility between the keyboard and other Bluetooth-
enabled products, contact your dealer.

Battery information

4. Battery information
Your device is powered by two replaceable AAA batteries.
■Using the batteries
This device is intended for use when supplied with power from LR03 batteries. The use of any
other types may invalidate any approval or warranty, and may be dangerous. Always switch
the device off before removing batteries. Always change both batteries at the same time. Do
not mix batteries of different types, brands, or ages. Ensure that the correct polarity is
observed when inserting batteries.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
Use the batteries only for their intended purpose. Never use any battery that is damaged.
Damaged batteries may leak or explode causing injury. Always keep batteries away from
small children. Never swallow a battery. If swallowed, immediately consult a physician.
Do not try to recharge the batteries unless the manufacturer of the batteries has intended
the batteries to be rechargeable.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic
object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-
) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for
example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the
terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter
conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Battery performance is
particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
