■Charge the battery
Check the model number of any charger before use with this device.
This device is intended for use when supplied with power from the
Nokia AC-4 and DC-4 chargers.
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and enhancements
approved by Nokia for use with this particular model. The use
of any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty,
and may be dangerous.

2. Connect the power cord to the
charger connector at the base of
the device. Do not attempt to
connect the power cord to the
headset jack to the right of the
charging port. Once the power cord

For more information, see "Battery information", p. 48.
■Insert the memory card
An RS-MMC and an adapter are supplied with the device. The RS-MMC
is physically smaller than a full-size MMC. You can only use FAT 16/32
formatted memory cards with this device.
Use only compatible RS-MMCs with this device. Other memory cards,
such as secure digital (SD) cards, do not fit in the MMC card slot and are
not compatible with this device. Using an incompatible memory card
may damage the memory card as well as the device, and data stored
on the incompatible card may be corrupted.

the connectors and the golden contact area faces down.
3. Carefully slide the memory card into the slot until it locks
into place (3).
4. To close the door, rotate it back over the memory card slot, and push
it into the slot until it snaps into place. You cannot use the memory
card if the door is not closed properly.
To remove the memory card, open the door of the memory slot,
and push the card until it pops out from the slot. Close the door.
Your device allows hot swap, which means you can insert and remove
a memory card while the device is on without disturbing the system.
Important: Do not remove the MMC card in the middle of an
operation when the card is being accessed. Removing the card
in the middle of an operation may damage the memory card as
well as the device, and data stored on the card may be corrupted.
