Warning: To use any features in this device, other than the alarm clock, the
phone must be switched on. Do not switch the device on when wireless
phone use may cause interference or danger.
To use the phone you must have service from a wireless service provider. 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 utilize Network
Services. 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 for more information.
• SHARED MEMORY
The following features in this phone may share memory: contacts, text and multimedia
messages, images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar, to-do notes, and Java™
games and applications. Use of one or more of these features may reduce the memory
available for the remaining features sharing memory. For example, saving many
images or bookmarks may use all of the available memory. Your phone may display
a message that the memory is full when you try to use a shared memory feature.
In this case, delete some of the information or entries stored in the shared memory
features before continuing. Some of the features, such as, contacts, text and
multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar, to-do notes,
and Java games and applications may have a certain amount of memory specially
allotted to them in addition to the amount of memory shared with other features.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Nokia 3100 or Nokia 3120 mobile phone.
Your phone provides many functions which are practical for daily use, such as a
stopwatch, alarm clock, calculator, calendar, and more. Your phone can also
