■ About your device
The wireless device described in this
guide are approved for use on the
CDMA 800 networks. Contact your
service provider for more information
about networks.
When using the features in this device,
obey all laws and respect privacy and
the legitimate rights of others.
Warning: To use any features
in this device, other than the
alarm clock, the device must
be switched on. Do not switch
the device on when wireless
phone use may cause
interference or danger.
■ Network services
To use the device you must have
service from a wireless service provider
or network operator. 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 utilise them.
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 on
your device menu. Contact your service
provider for more information.
The following device features may
share memory: contacts; text
messages; 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. If your phone displays
a message that the memory is full
when you try to use a shared memory
feature, delete some of the
information or entries stored in the
shared memory features before
continuing. Some of the features, such
as photos, images, and tones in gallery;
text messages; and applications may
have a certain amount of memory
specially allotted to them in addition
to the memory shared with other
features.
Congratulations on your purchase of
the Nokia 2355 mobile phone.
Your phone provides many functions
which are practical for daily use, such
as a hands-free loudspeaker, alarm
clock, calculator, calendar, and more.

If you need help, Nokia Customer Care
is available for assistance.
Before calling, we recommend that
you write down your electronic serial

■ Phone menus
Phone features are grouped according
to function and are accessed through
the main menus. Each main menu
contains submenus and lists from
which you can select or view items and
personalise your phone features.
You can access these menus and
submenus by scrolling or by using a
shortcut.
Note: Some features may not
be available, depending on
your network. For more
information, contact your
wireless provider.
You can choose from two types of
menu interfaces: List and Grid.
In the List interface, full-colour images
introduce the menu. Scroll up and
down to navigate through the menus.
The menu icons shown in this user
guide represent the List interface
icons.
In the Grid interface, multiple menu
icons appear on a single display. Use
the four-way scroll keys to navigate
through the icons.
See “Menu view”, p. 48 for more
information.
Scroll method
1. In standby mode, select Menu and
scroll through the main menus.
As you scroll through
the menus, the menu
number appears in the
upper right corner of
the display. Below the number is a
scroll bar with a tab that moves up
or down on the right side of the
display screen as you scroll through
the menus, providing a visual
representation of your current
position in the menu structure.
2. When you arrive at a menu, press
the left selection key (or Select) to
enter submenus.
Select Back (the right selection
key) to return to the previous
menu.
Press the end key to return to
standby mode from any menu or
submenu.
In-phone help
Many features have brief descriptions
(help text) which can be viewed on the
display. To view these descriptions,
scroll to a feature and wait for about
15 seconds. Select More to view all of
the description, or select Back to exit.
In order to view the descriptions, you
must first activate help text.
In standby mode, select Menu >
Settings > Phone settings > Help text
activation > On or Off.
■ Security code
settings
Your device has a security option that
allows you to lock your phone with a
PIN code. When the PIN code is set and
turned on, no outgoing calls are
allowed and the menu cannot be
accessed without entering the correct
code first. This prevents unauthorised
outgoing calls or access to any
information stored on your device.
The Security settings option is in the
Settings menu. The first time you
access the Security settings option,
you must enter a lock code. The default
lock code may vary depending on your
wireless service provider or network
operator. The preset lock code may be
the last four digits of your phone
number, 1234 or 0000. If none of these
work, contact your wireless service
provider or network operator for help.
You must enter the lock code to access
the following Security settings option:
1. In standby mode, select Menu >
Settings > Security settings.
2. Enter the lock code, and select OK.
See “Change lock code”, p. 50.
■ Go to functions
The Go to menu is the right selection
key on your phone. With this function,
you can quickly access your most
frequently used functions from the
Go to menu in st andby m ode.
See “Personal shortcuts”, p. 41 for
more information on choosing and
organising functions in Go to.
Your device has an internal antenna
located toward the top of the phone.
Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna area
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Note: As with any other radio
transmitting device, do not
touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the device
is switched on. Contact with
the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the
device to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise
needed. Avoiding contact with
the antenna area when
operating the phone optimises
the antenna performance and
the battery life. Not touching
the antenna area during a
phone call optimises the
antennae performance and
the talktime of your device.
■ UIM (SIM) card and
battery
Always switch the device off and
disconnect the charger before
removing the battery. Always use
original Nokia batteries. See “Batteries
and chargers”, p. 68.

letter on the key, twice for the
second letter, etc. If you pause

■ Predictive text mode
Predictive text input allows you to
write messages quickly using your
keypad and the built-in dictionary. It is
much faster than the standard mode
method, because for each letter, you
only press the corresponding key on
your keypad once.
At any text entry screen, select and
hold Options or select Options >
Dictionary on or Dictionary off.
Predictive text is turned on and off,
depending on its previous mode.

writing the next word.
• If a displayed word is not correct,
press * to see other matches.
To return to the previous word in
the list of matches, select Previous.
• If ? appears after a word, it is not in
the dictionary. Select Spell to add
the word to the dictionary.
• Press 1 to insert a period into your
message.
• Press and hold * to display special
characters. Press * again to cycle
through all available characters.

If you have subscribed to a messaging
service through your wireless provider,
you can send and receive messages to
compatible phones that also subscribe
to a compatible message service.
You may also be able to send and
receive picture messages and e-mail
messages.
When composing text messages,
picture messages, or multimedia
messages, check the number of
characters allowed in the top right
corner of the message. Using special
(Unicode) characters takes up more
space. If there are special characters in
your message, the indicator may not
show the message length correctly.
Before the message is sent, the phone
will tell you if the message exceeds the
maximum length allowed for one
message.
Note: When sending
messages, your device may
display Message sent. This is
an indication that the
message has been sent by your
device to the message center
number programmed into
your device. This is not an
indication that the message
has been received at the
intended destination.
For more details about
messaging services, check
with your service provider.

otherwise be harmful to your
