Use the antenna
Your phone has a built-in antenna. As with
any other radio transmitting device, avoid
touching the antenna while the phone is
powered up.
Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than
necessary. Hold the phone as you would
any other telephone with the antenna area
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Use the battery
CHARGE THE BATTERY
Plug the charger transformer in to a standard AC outlet.

Insert the charger output

jack into the round
connector at the bottom
end of the phone.
After a few seconds, the
battery indicator in the
display starts to scroll
from bottom to top. If the battery is completely flat, it may take a few
minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or any
calls can be made.
You can use the phone while the charger is connected.

IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION
Important:
Use only batteries approved by Nokia and recharge your battery only with
the chargers approved by Nokia. Never use any charger or battery which
is damaged.
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.
PROLONG THE BATTERY
Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from
your battery:
• With your phone turned off, charge your new battery for three hours
before its first use. Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Repeat
this procedure twice for a total of three charging cycles.
• Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after two
or three complete charge and discharge cycles. Battery operation
time may be less than the estimated times during the first charges.
This condition is normal.
• You can use your phone while the battery is charging. However, if the
battery is completely empty, it may need to recharge a few minutes
before you can make or receive calls or the battery indicator appears.
• After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the
charging cycle, but the calls interrupt the charge. When the phone
call ends, the charge will resume.
• The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the
phone is fully charged. If you leave the phone connected to the
charger, the battery receives an additional charge. If you switch the
phone on when charging is complete, the message
momentarily appears in the display.
Note:
two hours.
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.

bending, so be careful when handling, inserting or removing the card.

Shared memory
The following features in your phone use shared memory: Phone book,
text and multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in gallery,
calendar and to-do notes, and Java games and applications. Using any of
these features leaves less memory for other features. This is especially
true with heavy use of any of the features. For example, saving many
images may take all of the shared memory and your phone may display
that the memory is full. In this case, delete some of the information or
entries reserving the shared memory.
The following functions use shared memory that is dependent on the
data quantity per item and shared memory available at a time in the
Nokia 6100:
• Phone book (up to 300 entries)
• SMS (up to 150 text messages or 50 picture/concatenated messages)
• Calendar notes (up to 250 entries)
• To-do list (up to 30 entries)
• Fixed ring tones (11 preset, not removable)
The following features share a memory pool of 725kB:
• MMS messages (max size of 45 kB per MMS message)
• Ring tones in Gallery (20 preset, all removable)
• Images in Gallery (10 preset, all removable)
• Java applications (3 preset, max download size 64kB per application)
The following functions use static memory:
• WAP cache (up to 20 entries)
• WAP bookmarks (up to 30 entries)
• WAP security cache and certificates (up to 20 entries)

Contact your service provider

make available descriptions of their services and instructions for using
features such as:
• Voice mail and voice privacy
• Call waiting, call forwarding, and caller ID
• Messaging
• News and information services
• Selected Internet services
Wireless providers may differ in their support of features. Before you sign
up, make sure a wireless provider supports the features that you need.
