number into the phone. Pressing and holding the key (or the key
that your service provider instructed you to use) for 2 seconds will
automatically dial their customer support number. This feature can be
helpful if you’re having difficulties dialing a number, especially when

direct you to contact Nokia Customer Service.
This one-key feature might not be available on all systems.
Note:
Contact your service provider for availability.

2.Before you begin
• Attach your battery
Prior to using your phone, the battery must
be installed and charged. Grasp the phone
near the display (rather than on the slide
mechanism). Place the battery in the grooves
on the back of your phone. Then slide the
battery upward until it clicks.
Use only those batteries approved by
Note:
the phone manufacturer. See “Using
batteries and chargers” on page 112.
• Charge your battery
1. With your phone on or off, connect the
lead from the charger to the bottom of the
phone.
2. Connect the charger to an AC wall outlet.
The battery indicator bar starts to scroll
after a few seconds.
3. Disconnect the charger from the phone
and AC outlet when the battery is fully
charged.
When the indicator bar stops scrolling, the battery will accept a
Note:
"trickle charge" for an additional 2 hours until it is 100% fully
charged (except BMS-2V). See “Charging Times” on page 96 for
more information.
Before you begin
[ 5 ]
Important battery information:
• Recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the
manufacturer.
• The phone can be used while charging if the phone is switched on.
• If the battery is totally empty, it may take a few minutes before the
charging indication appears on the display.
• If the phone is switched on when charging is completed,
is displayed on the screen momentarily.
• Unlike NiMH batteries, the BLS-2S Li-Ion battery does not need to be
fully discharged before recharging.
• Charging time depends on the charger and battery used. For example,
the charging time for the BLS-2S battery with the ACP-8U charger
takes about 2 hours. See page 96 for charging times.
Battery full
• Removing the battery
It is necessary to remove the existing battery if you purchase (and want
to use) a different battery model, or have purchased a spare battery.
To remove the battery:
1. Make sure the phone has been turned off for 10 seconds.
2. While holding the phone by the display (and not on the slide
mechanism), press and hold the battery release button.
3. Slide the battery downward and away from the antenna.
4. Remove the battery from the grooved back of the phone.

• Leave your phone switched on until the battery is drained. Ignore any
messages to recharge your battery.
• Use the battery discharge feature of any approved accessory available
for your phone.
Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any means other than
