it before you can switch on your phone for the first time. If the phone indicates a low
charge, do the following:
1 Connect the charger to a wall outlet.
2 Connect the charger to the phone.
3 When the phone indicates a full charge, disconnect the charger from the phone,
then from the wall outlet.
You do not need to charge the battery for a specific length of time, and you can use
the phone while it is charging.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the
charging indicator is displayed or before any calls can be made.
10 Get started
If the battery has not been used for a long time, to begin charging, you may need to
connect the charger, then unplug and reconnect it.
Charge the battery over USB

cable to connect to a compatible device, such as a computer.
To avoid breaking the charger connector, be careful when connecting or
disconnecting the charger cable.
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.

until the phone vibrates.
You may be prompted to get the configuration settings from your network service
provider. For more information on this network service, contact your network service
provider.

Basic use 11
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 Nokia AV connector. If you connect an
external device or headset, other than those approved by Nokia for use with this
device, to the Nokia AV connector, pay special attention to volume levels.
