Settings
Your device normally has MMS, GPRS, streaming, and mobile internet settings
automatically configured in the device, based on your network service provider
information. You may have settings from your service providers already installed in
your device, or you may receive or request the settings from the network service
providers as a special message.
Access codes
If you forget any of the access codes, contact your service provider.
● Personal identification number (PIN) code — This code protects your SIM card
against unauthorised use. The PIN code (4 - 8 digits) is usually supplied with the
SIM card. After three consecutive incorrect PIN code entries, the code is blocked,
and you need the PUK code to unblock it.
● UPIN code — This code may be supplied with the USIM card. The USIM card is an
enhanced version of the SIM card and is supported by 3G mobile phones.
● PIN2 code — This code (4 - 8 digits) is supplied with some SIM cards, and is
required to access some functions in your device.
● Lock code (also known as security code) — The lock code helps you to protect
your device against unauthorised use. The preset code is 12345. You can create
and change the code, and set the device to request the code. Keep the new code
secret and in a safe place separate from your device. If you forget the code and
your device is locked, your device will require service. Additional charges may
apply, and all the personal data in your device may be deleted. For more
information, contact a Nokia Care Point or your device dealer.
● Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) code and PUK2 code — These codes (8 digits) are
required to change a blocked PIN code or PIN2 code, respectively. If the codes
are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the network service provider whose
SIM card is in your device.
● UPUK code — This code (8 digits) is required to change a blocked UPIN code. If
the code is not supplied with the USIM card, contact the network service provider
whose USIM card is in your device.
● International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number — This number (15 or 17
digits) is used to identify valid devices on the GSM network. Devices that are, for
example, stolen, can be blocked from accessing the network. The IMEI number
for your device can be found under the battery.
Prolong battery life
Many features in your device increase the demand on battery power and reduce the
battery lifetime. To save battery power, note the following:
● Features that use Bluetooth connectivity, or allowing such features to run in the
background while using other features, increase the demand on battery power.
Deactivate Bluetooth connectivity when you do not need it.
● If you have selected Packet data connection > When available in the
connection settings, and there is no packet data coverage (GPRS), the device
periodically tries to establish a packet data connection. To prolong the operating
time of your device, select Packet data connection > When needed.
● The Maps application downloads new map information when you move to new
areas on the map, which increases the demand on battery power. You can
prevent the automatic download of new maps.
● If the signal strength of the cellular network varies much in your area, your device
must scan for the available network repeatedly. This increases the demand on
battery power.
If the network mode is set to dual mode in the network settings, the device
searches for the 3G network. To set the device to use only the GSM network, select
Menu > Settings and Connectivity > Network > Network mode > GSM.
● The backlight of the display increases the demand on battery power. In the
display settings, you can adjust the display brightness and change the time-out
period after which the backlight is switched off. Select Menu > Settings and
Phone > Display > Brightness or Light time-out.
● Leaving applications running in the background increases the demand on battery
power. To access the applications you are not using, press and hold the menu
key, and select an application.
Free memory
To view how much space is available for different data types, select Menu >
Applications > Office > File mgr..
Many features of the device use memory to store data. The device notifies you if the
memory in different memory locations is low.
To free memory, transfer data to a compatible memory card (if available) or to a
compatible computer.
To remove data you no longer need, use File manager or open the respective
application. You can remove the following:
● Messages in the folders in Messaging and retrieved e-mail messages in the
mailbox
● Saved web pages
● Contact information
● Calendar notes
● Applications shown in Application manager that you do not need
● Installation files (.sis or .sisx) of applications you have installed. Transfer the
installation files to a compatible computer.
● Images and video clips in Gallery. Back up the files to a compatible computer.
Important: To prevent damage to the SIM card, always remove the battery
before you insert or remove the card.
Important: Do not use a mini-UICC SIM card, also known as a micro-SIM card,
a micro-SIM card with an adapter, or a SIM card that has a mini-UICC cutout (see
figure) in this device. A micro SIM card is smaller than the standard SIM card. This
device does not support the use of micro-SIM cards and use of incompatible SIM
cards may damage the card or the device, and may corrupt data stored on the card.
A SIM card may be already inserted in the device. If not, do the following:
3. To replace the cover, direct the top locking catches
toward their slots, and press down until the cover
locks into place.
Insert the memory card
Use only compatible microSD and microSDHC cards approved by Nokia for use with
this device. Nokia uses approved industry standards for memory cards, but some
brands may not be fully compatible with this device. Incompatible cards may
damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.
3. When the device indicates a full charge, disconnect the charger from the device,
then from the wall outlet.
You do not need to charge the battery for a specific length of time, and you can use
the device while it is charging. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take
several minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any
calls can be made.
Tip: Disconnect the charger from the wall outlet when the charger is not in
use. A charger that is connected to the outlet consumes power even when it
is not connected to the device.
