1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Your cellular telephone is approved for use on the
digital TDMA/USDMR (Time Division Multiple Access)
and the analog AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone
System) cellular radio networks.

TRAFFIC SAFETY

Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a
vehicle. Always park the vehicle before conversing.

Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place
the phone on the passenger seat or where it can
break loose in a collision or sudden stop.

The use of the alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights
or horn on public roads is not permitted.

Remember safety always comes first!

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Remember to follow any special regulations in force
in any area and always switch off your phone
whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger (such as hospitals).

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including cellular telephones, may interfere with the
functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of
the medical device if you have any questions.
Other electronic equipment may also be subject to
interference.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for the satisfactory operation of
the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be
used in the normal operating position.

3

Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a
refuelling point. Users are reminded of the need to
observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in
fuel depots , chemical plants, or where blasting
operations are in progress.

Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the
phone, its parts or accessories.

Only authorized personnel should install or service the
phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may
be dangerous and may invalidate the warranty.

Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid
braking systems, electronic cruise control systems
and other electronic systems can malfunction due
to the lack of protection from radio signals.

Check regularly that all cellular phone equipment in
your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.

Switch off your cellular telephone when in an aircraft.
The use of cellular telephones in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the
cellular network and is illegal. Failure to observe these
instructions may lead to suspension or denial of
cellular telephone services to the offender, or legal
action or both.

EMERGENCY CALLS

IMPORTANT!

This phone, like any cellular telephone, operates
using cellular and landline networks, radio signals,
messages and user-programmed functions which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
cellular telephone or similar radio device for essential
communications (e.g. medical emergencies).

Locking the phone or restricting calls does not prevent
making emergency calls with the phone. If the

ABC

indicator is shown on the display, you must clear it by
pressing the ABC key. If there are any characters on

the display, clear them with the CLR key. Otherwise

4

simply key in 911 (or other official, programmed
emergency number) and press the SND key. The text

EMERGENCY CALL

appears on the display.

Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular
telephone networks or when certain network services
are in use. Check with local cellular telephone service
providers.

Note that in uneven terrain or close to large buildings
the operating range of the base stations can be limited,
which affects the connection. When making an
emergency call, remember to give the location of the
emergency as accurately as possible. Remember
that your cellular phone may be the only means of
communication at the scene of an accident – don’t cut
off the call until given permission to do so.

USING THIS GUIDE

The cellular phone described in this guide is approved
for use in AMPS/TDMA networks. The AMPS/TDMA
manual activation commands for various services are
not presented in this guide. The phone nevertheless
is capable of handling commands given in that form.
For these commands please consult with your cellular
telephone service providers.

A number of features included in this guide are called
Network Services. They are special services provided
by cellular telephone service providers. Before you
can take advantage of any of these Network Services,
you must subscribe to the service(s) you desire from
your home service provider. You can then activate
these features as described in this guide.

Nokia’s dual-mode phone design includes advanced
technology to support future network system features.
While every effort has been made to ensure
compatibility with the network provider’s service,
Nokia cannot assume any liability should the phone’s
hardware or software not be compatible with the
implemented system.

5

The operation of the phone requires successive key
depressions; two keys are never to be pressed
simultaneously.

WARNING!

Use only batteries, antennas and chargers approved
by the phone manufacturer. The use of any other
types will invalidate any approval or warranty applying
to the telephone, and may be dangerous.

FCC/IC NOTICE

Your phone may cause TV or radio interference
(e.g. when using telephone in close proximity of
receiving equipment). The FCC/IC can require
you to stop using your telephone if such interference
cannot be eliminated. If you need assistance, contact
your local dealer.

3. GETTING STARTED

CHARGING A NEW BATTERY

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
Note: A new battery may not give full capacity

before being charged and discharged a few times.
The battery pack is a sealed unit with no serviceable
parts inside. Do not attempt to open the case!

To install the battery:

1 Place the battery over the radio unit and align the

battery indents with the tabs in the radio unit housing.

B Fasten it to the phone by sliding slightly upwards

until the locking catch snaps into place.

C Make sure the battery is properly installed.

To remove the battery:

A Switch the power off.
B Press the locking catch, slide the battery

downwards and lift it away from the phone.

2.

To charge a new battery using the fast travel
charger ACH-4U:

1 Connect the lead from the charger to the base of

the phone.

B Connect the charger to a standard 120V AC outlet.

Segments of the battery indicator on the display
will start to scroll.

C With the phone off, leave on charge for 16 - 24 hours

before initial use. The battery indicator will only
scroll for a short time and then disappear but the
battery will continue to trickle charge.

USING THE BATTERIES

The phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
Batteries last longer and perform better if you charge
the battery as instructed and discharge it fully once a
week. If left unused, a fully charged battery will
discharge itself in about a month. When the battery is
not in use, store it uncharged in a cool, dark, and dry
place. If battery temperature is above 40˚C (104˚F) the
phone will not recharge its battery. The battery is a
sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Do not attempt
to open the case.

Remember! Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire!

Recharging a battery:

The battery indicator on
the right of the phone
screen shows you the
charge of the battery.
The more bars, the
more charge in your
phone battery.

9

When the charge goes low, you get a Battery Low
Tone (if the Warning Tones are on) and the display
message

BATTERY LOW

is repeated at regular
intervals. Finally you get a Recharge Battery Tone and
the message

RECHARGE BATTERY

. If you do not
recharge your phone battery, the phone switches
off in about10 seconds.

It is recommended to allow the battery to fully discharge
before you recharge it. You can also use the option of
discharging the battery in the desktop charging stand.

Connect your phone directly to a charger or place it in
a charging stand. With the phone on, the message

CHARGING

is displayed for a few seconds. Note that
in some vehicles, the ignition must be on in order to
charge the phone using the cigarette lighter adapter.

During recharging, the phone can be used. When the
battery is fully charged, the message

BATTERY FULL

is displayed and the phone will beep once.

Charging indicators:

The phone beeps when it starts charging and the
segments of the battery indicator on the display begin
to scroll. With the desktop charging stand CHH-2,
CHH-8 or the cigarette lighter adapter LCH-2, a red
indicator also lights.

When the battery is fully charged, the light in the
charger turns to green and the battery indicator
changes from scrolling to full bars. In some cases the
light may show green but the battery indicator still
scrolls. This means that the charge is not completed
but it is temporarily inhibited (battery is too hot or cold
for charging).

Operation times:

Operation times of batteries vary considerably.
Best operation times can be achieved when you
regularly charge and discharge batteries as instructed
in this guide. If you are using the phone near the
network’s base station, less power is consumed.

10

Keep the antenna fully extended whenever possible to
maintain the connection to the network and so the
phone may consume less battery power.

Batteries last longer and perform better if allowed to
discharge fully at least once a week. You can do this
by leaving the phone switched on until it turns itself off.
Alternatively, you can use the deep discharge facility
of the desktop charging stand CHH-2 or CHH-8.
Nevertheless, you should remember that the perfor­mance of all batteries will reduce with substantial use.
Note that a new battery may not give a full capacity
before being charged and discharged few times.

SWITCHING ON

As with any other radio transmitting device, avoid
prolonged contact with the antenna when the phone is
switched on.

1 Press and hold the PWR key until the confirmation

tone is heard and display lights. The phone will
beep and carry out a short self-test sequence,
briefly displaying its number and the name
associated with the number (if programmed by
the dealer).

A cellular phone can only make and receive calls
when it is switched on.

SWITCHING OFF

1 Press and hold the PWR key until display clears.

Note: If the operating temperature of the phone
exceeds 70˚C (158˚F), the phone automatically
switches itself off. This is to prevent the phone from
being overheated.

11

4. BASIC FUNCTIONS

MAKING A CALL

If you wish to extend the antenna, remember to make
sure it is fully extended. The phone will not work
properly with a partially extended antenna. Push in the
antenna when you are not using the phone. You can
use the phone without extending the antenna in a
good coverage area (see ‘Signal Strength’ on page 15).

If the

NO SERVICE

message appears, it most likely
means that you are outside the cellular service area
and the network cannot serve you. No calls can be
placed or received until the

NO SERVICE

message

disappears.

1 Key in the number (including area code if needed).
B Press the SND key. When using the car kit, you

can leave the handportable in its holder and
converse via the handsfree equipment
(HF-microphone / HF-loudspeaker).

C Finish the call, then press the END key.

Note: When the battery charge is very low, the power
will be automatically reduced to extend the talk time.
This may affect the quality of the call.

You can alter the volume of the earphone or the
handsfree (HF) loudspeaker during a call by pressing
the upper or lower part of the volume key on the left
side of the phone. The volume level is indicated on
the display. A tone is heard when the maximum or
minimum volume level is selected.

12

twice. The international ‘+’ character
appears on the display which automatically
selects the correct international prefix
(as programmed by your dealer).

B Key in the country code and the subscriber

number.

C Call the number by pressing SND.

You can store the ‘+’ prefix in front of the telephone
numbers in the memory locations if you wish. For the
storing procedure see ‘Storing Information’ on page

19. Note that prior authorization from your cellular net­work may be required in order to make international
calls. Contact your cellular service supplier for details.

Also note that the International Call Barring feature
must be set to “allowed” in order to make international
calls (see page 40).

CORRECTING KEYING MISTAKES

If you make a mistake, you can delete the last number
by pressing CLR; or clear the whole display by
pressing and holding CLR.

incoming call, see menu 10, ‘Ringing Options’ on
page 49.

13

RECEIVING CALLS USING CALLING LINE ID SERVICES

This network feature allows you to see the incoming
callers phone number on the 2120’s display prior to
your decision whether to answer the call. However,
this feature may not be available in your cellular sys­tem. Please contact your home system operator to
determine if this service is available to you.

In some areas the cellular system may not allow this
feature to be used – in this case the message

OUT OF

AREA

will appear on the display.

When a call is received the callers number will be
displayed or if the callers number and name have
been programmed into the memory, the name will
appear instead of the callers number.

1 Press the SND key to answer the incoming call.

During a call, a name or number may appear on the
display. By pressing the soft key Save the number will
be stored to the last called stack for easy redialing.

SND and the new call will be connected (to go back to
the previous call press SND again).

If the incoming caller’s number is restricted by the
caller the message

PRIVATE CALL

will appear on the

display.

B Press the END key when you have finished a call.

14

SIGNAL STRENGTH

The quality of your call depends on the strength of the
cellular signal in your area. The phone displays current
field strength as a number of bars on the left side of its
display screen; the more bars, the better the signal in
your area.

If the signal is poor, you can try moving the phone
slightly to improve reception. If you are using the
phone in a building, you may find that reception is
better near a window. For maximum reception, extend
the antenna fully.

LAST NUMBER REDIAL

The last dialed number can be redialed automatically,
without re-entering it. The number can still be retrieved
even if the phone has been switched off and back on.

With the display clear, press SND. The number you
last called will appear on the display and will be
automatically redialed after two seconds. The phone
displays a message if there is no last number to call.

SPEED DIALING

When you have stored a telephone number in the
memory, you can use the memory location numbers
1 to 99 when dialing the stored number. See ‘Storing
Information’ on page 19.

1 Key in the number of the memory location (e.g. 21)

or the name stored there (name in alpha mode).

B Press SND.

The phone will recall the telephone number from
memory, display the number briefly (or name if in
alpha mode), and then dial it. See also ‘One Touch
Dialing’ on page 37.

15

USING THE SOFT KEYS

Below the display there are two so-called soft keys.
The function of the soft keys is related to the guiding
texts shown on the display’s bottom line. When you
want to select a menu function for example, press the
left soft key below the text ‘Menu’ and for memory
selection, press the right soft key below the text
‘Memory’. See also the ‘The Menu Facility’ on page 21,
and ‘The Menu Method’ and ‘Menu Soft Keys’ on

of certain features. You can check whether the
features are currently switched on or off. Although
the menu method to enter various features is often
longer than the alternative shortcut, it may be easier
to remember. Every menu feature and option has a
number associated with it. This number is displayed
as an index number on the top right of the display.

21

6. NETWORK SERVICES

Please check with your local cellular service provider
for availability of the features listed here.

6.1 System Select

Each cellular service area can have two cellular
service suppliers, called carriers. One carrier will be
referred to as the non-wireline system and the other
carrier will be called the wireline system. Your phone
is designed to work with either or both carriers.

The System Select feature allows you to program your
phone for optimum operation when in your home
service area or when away from your home area
(roaming). When you buy your phone, you may
register (get a phone number) with either or both of
your local carriers.

Contact your home cellular phone company for
information about the roaming agreements they have
with other cellular phone companies.

43

In some areas, roaming telephones are automatically
recognized by the cellular system’s computer. In other
areas, you must contact the cellular phone operator
before it can recognize your phone. The company
needs to know your telephone number, your phone’s
ESN (electronic serial number), and how you plan to
pay for your calls. There is usually an additional charge
for roaming calls. Note: The ESN for your cellular
phone is an 11-digit number located on the type label
under the battery pack on the back of the phone.

To select the roaming mode:

1 Enter the System Select feature, Menu 6 1 and

select one of the following options with the

or key:

Use both A and B systems

– phone uses its home
system first. If it is not available, it uses the non-home

– phone uses only home system
A for example. The home system depends on the
current NAM selection.

Use non-home system B

– phone uses only non-home

system B for example.

Use home area only

– phone uses only the home
system in the home area

B Confirm your choice with soft key OK, and use

Quit to exit the menu.

charger in conjunction with the desktop charging
stand CHH-8 only.

CIGARETTE LIGHTER ADAPTER (LCH-2)

You can charge the phone battery from your vehicle
battery by using the cigarette lighter adapter LCH-2.
You can also use the adapter with the desktop stand
CHH-2. Avoid prolonged charging with LCH-2 when
the car motor is not running. Note also that in some
cars the cigarette lighter plug is not provided with
electricity if the ignition is not switched on. A red light
indicates charging and a green light indicates that
charging is finished (check the charge on the phone
display). Note that the input voltage range is from
