The LPS-3 Mobile Loopset gives people with
T-coil equipped hearing aids the ability to make and
receive calls without noise interference.
Also compatible with the Nokia 3300, 3500, 8200,
8300 and 8800 series digital phones, the loopset
gives hearing-impaired users clear access to digital
telephony.
The loopset is easy to use. You wear the loopset
around your neck, connect it to your phone, and spea k
directly toward the microphone. For more
information see “Set up the loopset profile” on
page 69.
Note: The loopset can be purchased separately as an accessory. For
operating instructions, refer to the booklet that comes with the LPS-3.
TTY/TDD Adapter (HDA-9)
The TTY/TDD Adapter is a Nokia accessory
that allows you to connect your mobile
phone to a Telecommunications Device
for the Deaf (TTY/TDD) to make a call in
digital mode.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
In addition to the Nokia 3595 phone,
you’ll need the following for TTY/TDD
communication.
•A TTY/TDD device that is “cellular
ready” or “cellular compatible”
•A cable for connecting the TTY/TDD
to your phone, usually supplied by
the manufacturer of the TTY/TDD device
•The TTY/TDD Adapter (HDA-9), which can be purchased separately as an
accessory at www.nokia.com/us
For information on choosing a profile so that the phone recognizes the TTY/TDD
device, see “Set up the TTY/TDD profile” on page 69.
The following features in this phone may share memory: ringing tones, pictures,
screen savers, and Java games and applications. Using any of these features may
reduce the memory available for any features sharing memory. This is especially
true with heavy use of any of the features (although some of the features may have
a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them, in addition to the amount
of memory shared with other features). For example, saving many games may take
all of the shared memory and your phone may display a message that the memory
is full. In this case, delete some of the information or entries stored in the shared
memory features before continuing.
•CONTACT NOKIA
If you ever need to call Nokia Customer Care or your service provider, you will need
to provide specific information about your phone.
This information is provided on the phone label. The label is on the back of the

•IMEI
Important: Do not remove or deface the label.

•BATTERY NOTES
Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from your battery:
•Recharge your battery only with a charger approved by Nokia.
•With your phone turned off, charge your new battery for three hours before
its first use. Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Repeat this procedure
twice for a total of three charging cycles.
•Battery operation time may be less than the estimated times during the first
charges. This condition is normal.
•When the battery is fully discharged, the scrolling bars may not appear
immediately.
•After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the charging
cycle, but the calls interrupt the charge. When the phone call ends, the charge
will resume.
•The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the phone is
charged. If you leave the phone connected to the charger, the battery receives
an additional charge.
•If the battery is completely empty, it may take a few minutes before you can
make or receive calls.
•The charging time depends on the charger and battery that you use.
Note: The battery will accept a "trickle charge" for an additional two
hours. For more details, see “Battery information” on page 145.
With the headset connected, you can make and answer
calls as usual, using the keypad to press the Talk key and
the End key or to enter numbers to call.
The microphone for the headset hangs at the side of your
head. Although the microphone may seem far from your
mouth, you can speak at a normal volume.
•REMOVE THE SIM CARD
If you ever need to take the SIM card out of the phone, follow these steps.
Warning: Keep all miniature SIM cards out of the reach of small children.
1Remove the back cover and battery. See “Remove the battery” on page 16.
2Press the plastic tab of the SIM card holder down.
3Gently push the SIM card towards the top of the phone.
•Press and hold the power key for about 2
seconds. After your phone is on, when any
key is pressed, the keypad and display lights
stay on for up to 15 seconds.
The phone may ask for a Personal
Identification Number (PIN) or a security
code. Your service provider supplies the PIN
code. See “About security codes” on
page 84 for more information.
Warning: Do not switch the phone on when wireless phone use is
prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

with any other radio transmitting device, do
not touch the antenna unnecessarily when
the phone is switched on.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than otherwise needed.
Not touching the
antenna during a call optimizes the antenna
performance and the talk-time of your phone. Hold
the phone as you would any other telephone, with the
antenna area pointed up and over your shoulder.
•ABOUT THE START SCREEN
When you turn on your phone, the first screen that
appears is the Start screen. In the middle of the Start
screen, you may see information indicating which
wireless network your phone uses. This information
can vary between phones. Other indicators and icons
appear on this Start screen and are described in the
next section.
On your phone, you have two types of identifiers: indicators and icons.
Indicators
Indicators show the status of the phone. The phone uses three types of indicators:
Signal

call” on page 24 for details.
•The audible signal and battery indicator:
indicates by a series of beeps that either the

phone. You need to set up this feature on your
phone through the voice command function
before it will operate. See “Use Voice commands” on page 62 and “Audible
