A number of features included in this guide are called Network Services. These are special
services that you arrange through your wireless service provider. Before you can take
advantage of any of these Network Services, you must subscribe to them through your
service provider and obtain instructions for their use from your service provider.
Note: Some networks may not support all language-dependent characters and/or
services.
Check the model number of any charger before use with this device. This device is intended
for use when supplied with power from ACP-7, ACP-8, ACP-12, LCH-9 and LCH-12.
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers and accessories approved by the phone

may invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the phone, and may be
dangerous.
For availability of approved accessories, please check with your dealer.
When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
The stickers contain important information for services and customer support

Access codes
For specific settings of Access codes, see Security settings on page 80.
• Security code (5 to 10 digits): The security code protects your phone against
unauthorised use, and is supplied with the phone. The preset code is 12345.
Change the code, and keep the new code secret and in a safe place separate
from your phone.
• PIN code and PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits): The PIN (Personal Identification
Number) code protects your SIM card against unauthorised use. The PIN code
is usually supplied with the SIM card.
The PIN2 code may be supplied with the SIM card and is required to access
some functions, such as charging unit counters.
If you key in an incorrect PIN code three times in succession, the phone may
display PIN code blocked and ask you to key in the PUK code. Contact your
service provider to get the PUK code.
• PUK and PUK2 codes (8 digits): The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code is

password from your service provider.
Shared memory
The following features in this phone may share memory: phone book, text and
multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar, to-do notes,
and Java games and applications. Using any such features may reduce the
memory available for any features sharing memory. This is especially true with
heavy use of any of the features (although some of the features may have a
certain amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the amount of
memory shared with other features). For example, saving many images, java
applications etc. may take all of the shared memory and your phone may display a
message that the memory is full. In this case, delete some of the information or
entries stored in the shared memory features before continuing.
