of the following:
Sign up with a service provider

must sign up with a wireless service
provider and subscribe to these services.
Your service provider will make available
descriptions of its services and
instructions for using them.
Note differences among
service providers
Wireless service providers may differ
from each other in certain ways. For
example, some networks may not support
special language-dependent characters.
Contact your service provider regarding
your service needs.

About your phone
• ABOUT THE ANTENNAS
Whip
antenna
Internal
antenna
Your phone is equipped with two
antennas. The internal antenna is always
active. The whip antenna is activated
when the whip antenna is fully extended.
As with any other radio transmitting
device, do not touch either of the two
antennas unnecessarily when the phone
is switched on. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed. Not touching the
antenna area during a phone call
optimises the antenna performance and
the talk time of your phone.
While in a call, hold the phone to your
ear, placing your finger tips at the midcenter of the back cover, below the
antenna area on the back of your phone.
• ABOUT THE BATTERY
Install the battery
Warning! Use only the BL-5C
battery in this Nokia phone.
If your dealer has already
installed the battery, please see
“Charge the battery” on page 13.
1 Remove the back cover of the phone
by pressing and holding the release
button while sliding the cover
downward toward the bottom of the
phone. Set the back cover aside.
2 Place the battery in the
compartment with the label side
facing down and the metal contacts
aligned with the contact prongs.
Metal contacts
3 Snap the battery into place.
[ 12 ]
About your phone
4 Replace the cover by placing it into
the slots on the back of the phone,
and sliding the cover upward until it
is in place.
Charge the battery
Follow these guidelines to charge the
battery.
1 Connect the charger to an ac wall
outlet.
2 With your phone on or off,
connect the lead from the
charger to the charging port
located on the bottom of
the phone.
The battery indicator bar
appears on the screen and
starts to scroll up after a few
seconds. With the phone off, only
the battery indicator bar will appear.
3 Disconnect the charger from the
phone and ac outlet when the
battery is fully charged.
After the indicator bar stops scrolling,
the battery is almost fully charged, and is
fully charged after an additional hour
(approximately). The message Battery Full is displayed.
Note: For best performance,
charge the battery for 24 hours
before you first use the phone.
The charging time depends on
the charger and battery you use.
Do not leave the battery
connected to a charger for more
than 72 hours, since prolonged
charging could shorten its lifetime.
Remove the battery
Warning! Use only your hands to
remove the battery. Do not
puncture, burn or use any objects
that may damage the phone or
the battery. Please recycle the
battery, or dispose off properly.
You will need to remove the existing
battery if you want to install a new
battery. Make sure the phone has been
turned off for 10 seconds.
1 Remove the back cover of the phone
as shown in step 1 on page 12.
2 Place your index finger in the space
at the bottom of the battery, and
press toward the top of the phone.

Indicates phone is in

Indicates you have a
minibrowser message.
• MEMORY USE
In your phone, Calendar Notes and Java
Applications share a common pool of
memory (storage capacity). When either
of these features are used, there is less
available memory for the other feature
which is also dependent on shared
memory. This is especially true with the
heavy use of some features. If your use of
a feature takes all of the shared memory,
your phone may display a message saying
Memory full. To proceed, you must
delete some of the information or entries
from these features to make additional
memory space available.
For example, entering 75 calendar notes
may consume significant shared memory.
Consequently, if you attempt to
download a Java midlet into your phone,
a message saying Memory Full may
appear. To proceed, you must delete some
of the items or information occupying
the memory.
• VIEW YOUR PHONE HELP
SYSTEM
Your phone provides brief descriptions of
all menu options. To view any of the help
texts:
1 Scroll to a menu or submenu option.
2 Wait about 15 seconds.
A short message appears, describing
the option and what it does.
3 Select More, by pressing the left
