If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the
charging indicator is displayed or before any calls can be made.
Charge the battery over USB

cable to connect your phone to a compatible device, such as a computer.
You can use USB charging when a wall outlet is not available. Data can be transferred
while charging the device. The efficiency of USB charging power varies significantly,
and it may take a long time for charging to start and the device to start functioning.

calendar entries, and photos to your new phone, free of charge.
Your previous phone needs to support Bluetooth.
1Select > Settings > Connectivity > Data transfer > Phone switch.
2 Select your old phone from the list, then pair the phones. Bluetooth needs to be
on in both phones.
3 If the other phone requires a passcode, type in the passcode in both phones.

The passcode in some phones is fixed. For details, see the user guide of the other
phone.

Antennas
Avoid touching the antenna area while the antenna is in use. Contact with antennas

level during operation.
The antenna area is highlighted.
Headset

device, to the Nokia AV connector, pay special attention to volume levels.
About NFC

• Share the content you've created between two compatible phones that support
NFC.
• Connect to compatible Bluetooth accessories that support NFC, such as a
headset or a wireless loudspeaker.
• Pay with your phone, if supported by your network service provider.
• Touch tags to get more content for your phone or to access online services.
• Play multi-player games against other owners of compatible phones that support
NFC.
The NFC area is on the back of your phone, around the camera. Touch other phones,
accessories, or readers with the NFC area.
You can use NFC when the phone screen is on. You may be able to pay or use your
phone as a ticket even when your phone is locked, depending on your service provider.
For more info, watch the NFC tutorial videos on your phone.
