■ About your device
The wireless device described in this
guide is approved for use on the EGSM
900, and GSM 1800 and 1900 networks.
Contact your service provider for more
information about networks.
When using the features in this device,
obey all laws and respect the privacy and
legitimate rights of others.
When taking and using images or video
clips, obey all laws and respect local
customs as well as privacy and legitimate
rights of others including copyrights.
Warning: To use any features in
this device, other than the
alarm clock, the device must be
switched on. Do not switch the
device on when wireless device
use may cause interference or
danger.
■ Network services
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 may have requested
that certain features be disabled or not
activated in your device. If so, they will
not appear on your device menu. Your
device may also have been specially
configured for your network provider.
This configuration may include changes
in menu names, menu order and icons.
Contact your service provider for more
information.
This device supports WAP 2.0 protocols
(HTTP and SSL) that run on TCP/IP
protocols. Some features of this device,
such as multimedia messaging (MMS),
browsing, e-mail application, instant
messaging, remote synchronization, and
content downloading using the browser
or MMS, require network support for
these technologies.
The following features in this device may
share memory: gallery, contacts, text
messages, multimedia messages, and
instant messages, e-mail, calendar, to-do
notes, Java
and note application. Use of one or more
of these features may reduce the memory
available for the remaining features
sharing memory. For example, saving
many Java applications may use all of the
available memory. Your device 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
text messages, may have a certain
amount of memory specially allotted to
them in addition to the memory shared
with other features.

antenna performance and
the battery life.
