■ About your device
The Nokia 6011i wireless phone described in this guide is approved for use on the CDMA
1900 network.
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 in your device menu. Contact your
service provider for more information.
The following features in this device may share memory: contacts, text messages,
photos, images, and tones in gallery, calendar notes, games, and applications. Use of
one or more of these features may reduce the memory available for the remaining
features sharing memory. For example, saving many calendar notes, may use all of the
available memory. Your phone may display a message that the memory is full when you
try to use a shared memory feature. In this case, delete some of the information or
entries stored in the shared memory features before continuing. Some of the features,
such as photos, images, tones in gallery, text messages, and applications may have a
certain memory specially allotted to them in addition to the memory shared with other
features.
