• ABOUT YOUR PHONE
The wireless device described in this guide is approved for use on the GSM 850,
1800, and 1900 networks. Contact your service provider for more information
about networks.
When using the features in this device, obey all laws and respect privacy and
legitimate rights of others.
Warning: To use any features in this device, other than the alarm clock,
the phone must be switched on. Do not switch the device on when wireless
phone use may cause interference or danger.
• NETWORK SERVICES
To use the phone you must have service from a wireless service provider. Many of
the features in this device depend on features in the wireless network to function.
These Network Services may not be available on all networks or you may have to
make specific arrangements with your service provider before you can utilize
Network Services. Your service provider may need to give you additional
instructions for their use and explain what charges will apply. Some networks may
have limitations that affect how you can use Network Services. For instance, some
networks may not support all language-dependent characters and services.
Your service provider may have requested that certain features be disabled or not
activated in your device. If so, they will not appear on your device menu. Contact
your service provider for more information.
• REGISTER YOUR PHONE
Make sure to register your phone at www.warranty.nokiausa.com or
1-888-NOKIA-2U (1-888-665-4228) so that we can serve your needs better if you
should need to call the center or have your phone repaired.
• SHARED MEMORY
The following features in this phone may share memory: contacts, text and
multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar, to-do notes,
and Java™ games and applications. Using any such 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 images, bookmarks, Java
apps, or other features sharing memory 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.
• COPYRIGHT PROTECTION
Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, and other content
from being copied, modified, transferred or forwarded.
• 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.
Find information about your phone
This information is provided on the phone label. The label is on the back of the
phone (under the battery). See “Remove the back cover and battery” on page 9 for
instructions on how to access the phone label. The label shows the following:
Whether you are calling about your phone or an enhancement, have the equipment
