About your phone

• SCROLL BAR

• ANTENNA

Your phone has a built-in antenna. As with any other radio transmitting device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is switched on. Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

• REMOVE AND INSTALL THE BATTERY

This phone can be powered by a 900-mAh NiMH battery (BMC-3) or a 950-mAh Li-Ion battery (BLC-2). This section tells you how to remove and install the battery. You will need to remove the battery when replacing it, or to view the phone label (located under the battery).

Remove the battery

If you purchase a new battery or need to access information on the phone label, you may need to remove the battery. Make sure the phone is turned off for 10 seconds.

Note: Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations (for example, recycling). Do not dispose as household waste.

1 Hold the phone with the back facing

you. At the bottom corners of the phone, press the battery cover with your thumb and forefinger.

2 Place the thumb of your other hand in

the groove, approximately 1 inch from the top of the phone. Apply pressure with the thumb and slide the back cover toward you to release it; then remove it.

• CHARGE THE BATTERY

Before you begin, you need to prepare your phone by charging the battery.

1 Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet;

then connect the lead from the charger to the bottom of the phone.

The battery power indicator (or battery bar) appears on the screen and starts scrolling. If the phone is on, Charging appears also.

When the battery bar stops scrolling, the battery charge is complete. Battery

full appears also, if the phone is on.

2 Disconnect the charger from the phone.

• IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION

Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from your battery:

• 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.

• If the battery is fully discharged, the scrolling bars may not appear immediately when charging.

• 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.

Note: The battery will accept a “trickle charge” for an additional two hours. See “Reference information” on page 48 for more information on batteries.

• Charging time depends on the charger and battery used. See “Batteries” on page 55 for charging, talk, and standby times.

• PROLONG BATTERY LIFE

For good operation times with NiMH batteries, discharge the battery from time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off. Ignore any messages

to recharge your battery and let the battery completely discharge.

Note: Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.

• HEADSET

Your phone is compatible with the HDC-5, HDE-2 and HDB-5 headsets. To connect the headset:

1 Plug the headset jack into the bottom of your phone. 2 Put the earbud into one ear.

With the headset connected, you can make and answer calls as usual. 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.

Note: You can set your phone to answer automatically when the headset is connected. See “Automatic answer” on page 29.

•GET HELP Find phone information

We recommend that you have the following information available before contacting the Nokia Customer Care Center or the service provider:

• Your billing address ZIP code

• The phone or accessory in question

• Your phone model number—located on the phone type label

• ESN (electronic serial number)—located on the phone type label The type label is located under the battery inside the back cover. Do not remove or

deface the label.

Enter text

• For each letter of the word that you want to spell, press the corresponding key on your keypad only once, even if the letter you want is not the first letter on the key. The phone “guesses” the word you are trying to spell.

• If a displayed word is not correct, press * to see other matches. To move forward through a list of matches, keep pressing *.

Keep these factors in mind when adding words:

• New words that you accept by selecting Save, the 0 key, or deleting the space between two words are saved to the dictionary.

• Depending on the language and the length of the words, you may be able to add hundreds of words to the dictionary.

• When the dictionary is full, the most recent addition replaces the first.

The illustration above simulates your display each time a key is pressed.

• PUNCTUATION AND SPECIAL CHARACTERS

Navigate special characters using the 2, 4, 6, and 8 keys much as you would a joystick. Once a character is highlighted, press the 5 key to insert the character into your message.
