1. For your safety

Read these simple guidelines before using your phone. Failure to comply with these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.

Road Safety Comes First

Don’t use a hand-held phone while driving; park the vehicle first.

Switch Off In Hospitals

Follow any regulations or rules. Switch phone off near medical equipment.

Switch Off On Aircraft

Wireless phones can cause interference. Using them on aircraft is illegal.

Switch Off When R e fueling

Don’t use phone at a refueling point. Don’t use near fuel or chemicals.

Switch Off Near Blasting

Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.

Interference

All wireless phones may get interference which could affect performance.

Use Sensibly

Use only in the normal position (to ear). Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Qualified Service

Only qualified service personnel must install or repair equipment.

Accessories and Batteries

Use only approved accessories and batteries. Do not connect incompatible products.

FCC/Industry Canada Notice

Your phone may cause TV or radio interference (for example, when using a telephone in close proximity to receiving equipment). The FCC or Industry Canada can require you to stop using your telephone if such interference cannot be eliminated. If you require assistance, contact your local service facility.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.

Using this Guide

The wireless phone described in this guide is approved for use in CDMA 800 and AMPS networks.

Network services

A number of features included in this guide are called network services. They are special services provided by wireless service providers. Before you can take advantage of any of these network services, you must subscribe to the service(s) from your home service provider and obtain instructions for their use.

Updates

The latest version of this Owner’s Manual may be found on Nokia’s World Wide Web site at

2. Battery installation and charging

Before you can use your new phone, you need to attach and charge the battery.

Attaching the battery

To attach the battery, place it on the back of the phone as shown and slide it toward the top of the phone until it clicks into place.

Battery charging

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable NiMH or Li-Ion battery. Note that a new NiMH battery’s full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles (see ‘Charging times’ on page 60).

How to charge your battery

Connect the lead from the charger to the bottom of your phone or to a charging stand. Then plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.

When the battery is charging, the battery strength indicator on the right side of the screen scrolls upwards.

Note: When you charge the batte ry for the firs t time , the battery strength indicator will not scroll the entire time; this is normal.

Problems ch arging

If your phone displays Check that the battery is connected to an approved charging device. If the battery is very hot or cold, wait for a while; charging will automatically resume after the battery is restored to its normal operating state. If charging still fails, contact your dealer.

Not charging

, charging is suspended.

When is charging comple t e ?

When the battery strength indicator stops scrolling, your phone is considered fully charged. However, a slight increase in charge may occur if you leave your phone connected to the charger.

If you charge the battery while the phone is turned off, the charge bars on the right side of the display will eventually disappear once a full charge has occurred.

Note: If you are using a lithium ion battery, continue to charge it for two hours after the indicator has stopped scrolling to retain “trickle charge”.

When is a good time to charge?

You can charge anytime, but remember that when your phone displays minutes of talk time left.

Battery low

, you only have a couple of

Can I make calls while charging?

Yes, but your battery may not charge during a call. Charging should resume once you end the call.

Discharging NiMH batteries

For good operation times, discharge NiMH batteries from time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off (or by using the battery discharge facility of any approved accessory available for your phone). Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.

Removing the battery

Note: Switch off the phone before removing the battery!

Press and hold the

button at the top of the battery.

Slide the battery

toward the bottom of the phone.

Lift the battery off the

phone.

Important battery information

• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times

but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

• Use only batt er ie s ap proved by the ph on e ma nu fa cturer and

recharge you r ba tte r y on l y wi t h the ch argers approv e d by t he manufacturer. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the batte ry c onnec ted t o a char ger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life. If left unused a ful ly ch ar ge d battery will di sc ha rg e it s el f ov er time .

• Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to

charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first.

• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

• Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.

• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can

occur when a metallic object (coin, clip, or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery), for example when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.

• Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car

in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 59º F and 77º F (15ºC and 25º C). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. NiMH batteries’ performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 14º F (-10ºC). Li-Ion batteries’ performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 32º F (0º C).

• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!

• Dispose of u s ed ba tt e ri es in accordance with any l oc a l r e gu la ti on s .

Tips on efficient operatio n

As with any other radio transmitting device, do not touch the antenna 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.

Checking signal strength

Your phone operates on radio waves. Radio signal coverage is maintained by a wireless network, and the quality of calls on your phone depends on the strength of the wireless radio signal.

Get a strong signal

When you are at the Ready screen or in a call, the strength of the radio signal is indicated by the signal stren g th indicator on the left side of your phone’s screen. This indicator scrolls up and down as the signal strength inc reases and decreases.

To improve your phone’s reception, try moving your phone slightly. If you’re inside a building, move toward a window.
