Safety

We invite you to read the instructions on this guide before using the device.

SWITCH OFF IN RESTRICTED AREAS

Switch the device off when mobile phone use is not allowed or when it may cause interference or danger, for example, in aircraft, in hospitals or near medical equipment, fuel, chemicals, or

blasting areas. Obey all instructions in restricted areas.

ROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST

Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands free to operate the vehicle while driving. Your first consideration while driving should be road safety.

INTERFERENCE

All wireless devices may be susceptible to interference, which could affect performance.

QUALIFIED SERVICE

Only qualified personnel may install or repair this product.

BATTERIES, CHARGERS, AND OTHER ACCESSORIES

Use only batteries, chargers, and other accessories approved by Nokia for use with this device. Do not connect incompatible products.

KEEP YOUR DEVICE DRY

Your device is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.

GLASS PARTS

The device screen is made of glass. This glass can break if the device is dropped on a hard

surface or receives a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, do not touch the glass parts of the device or attempt to remove the broken glass from the device. Stop using the device until the glass is replaced by qualified service personnel.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.

Exercise caution when holding your device near your ear while the loudspeaker is in use.

SAR

This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against

the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 centimetres (5/8 inch) away from the body. The specific maximum SAR values can be found in the Certification Information (SAR) section of this user guide. For more info, go to www.sar-tick.com.

When a carry case, belt clip or other form of device holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should provide at least the above-stated separation distance from the body. Note that mobile devices may be transmitting even if you are not making a voice call.

Get to grips with the basics, and have your phone up and running in no time.

Keys and parts

remove the protective tape from the lens. 10 Back cover release button 11 Antenna area

The antenna area is highlighted. Avoid touching the antenna area while the

antenna is in use. Contact with antennas affects the communication quality and may reduce battery life due to higher power level during operation.

Do not connect products that create an output signal, as this may damage the device. Do not connect any voltage source to the audio connector. If you connect an external device or headset, other than those approved for use with this device, to the audio connector, pay special attention to volume levels.

Some of the accessories mentioned in this user guide may be sold separately.

Insert SIM, battery and memory card

Learn how to insert a battery and SIM and memory cards.

Important: Your device uses a mini-UICC SIM card, also known as a micro-SIM card. Use of incompatible SIM cards, or use of SIM card adapters, may damage the card or the device, and may corrupt data stored on the card.

Use only compatible memory cards approved for use with this device. Incompatible cards may damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.

1. Press the release button at the back of the phone, and carefully lift and remove the back cover.

2. If the battery is in the phone, lift it out.

3. Open the SIM holder, and slide the SIM into the holder. Close the holder, and lock it into place. Make

sure the SIM contact area is face down.

4. Line up the battery contacts, and push the battery in.

5. Insert the memory card into the memory card slot. Push the memory card in until it locks into place.

Tip: To remove the memory card, push it in until it's released, then pull it out.

Important: Do not remove the memory card when an app is using it. Doing so may damage the

memory card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.

6. Replace the back cover.

7. To switch your phone on, press and hold the power key until the phone vibrates.

Note: Switch the device off and disconnect the charger and any other device before removing

any covers. Avoid touching electronic components while changing any covers. Always store and use the device with any covers attached.

Your battery has been partially charged at the factory, but you may need to recharge it before you can use your phone.

1. Plug the charger into a wall outlet.

2. Connect the charger to the phone. When done, unplug the charger from the phone, then from the

wall outlet.

If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the charging indicator is displayed or before any calls can be made.

Tip: You can use USB charging when a wall outlet is not available. Data can be transferred while charging the device. The efficiency of USB charging power varies significantly, and it may take a long time for charging to start and the device to start functioning.

Copy contacts from your old phone

Get all your contacts to your new phone in one go. Your old phone must have Bluetooth, and the contacts must be stored in the phone memory, not on

the SIM.
