■ Access codes
Security code
The security code (5 to 10 digits) helps to protect your phone against unauthorized use. The preset code is
12345. To change the code, and to set the phone to request the code, see Security p. 77.
If you enter an incorrect security code five times in succession, the phone ignores further entries of the code.
Wait for five minutes, and enter the code again.
PIN codes
The personal identification number (PIN) code and the universal personal identification number (UPIN) code
(four to eight digits) help to protect your SIM card against unauthorized use. See Security p. 77. The PIN code is
usually supplied with the SIM card. To set the phone to request the PIN code, see Security p. 77.
The PIN2 code (four to eight digits) may be supplied with the SIM card and is required for some functions.
The module PIN is required to access the information in the security module. See Security module p. 108. The
module PIN is supplied with the SIM card if the SIM card has a security module in it.
The signing PIN is required for the digital signature. See Digital signature p. 109. The signing PIN is supplied
with the SIM card if the SIM card has a security module in it.
The personal unblocking key (PUK) code and the universal personal unblocking key (UPUK) code (eight digits) is
required to change a blocked PIN code and UPIN code, respectively. The PUK2 code is required to change a
blocked PIN2 code.
If the codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact your service provider for the codes.

your SIM card vendor. This may be the service provider, network operator, or another vendor. Before installing the SIM card
and removing the battery, always switch the device off, and disconnect the charger.
The SIM card and its contacts can easily be damaged by scratches or bending, so be careful when handling,
inserting, or removing the card.

sliding the back cover to remove and lift it from the phone.
2. After you have removed the back cover, insert your finger under the battery, and
lift it as shown.
3. Place a fingernail in the middle of the metal SIM card holder. Then, unlatch
and swing the SIM card holder open.
4. Insert the SIM card into the holder as shown, beveled corner first, with the
gold-colored contacts on the SIM card face up (away from the phone).
5. Swing the SIM card holder closed. The gold-colored contacts on the SIM
card meet the gold-colored contacts on the inside of the phone. Gently
press the SIM card holder into the phone until it clicks into place.
6. Replace the battery, by positioning it (with the label side facing up), so the
gold-colored contacts match up with those on the phone. Slide the battery in
until it snaps into place.

■ Charge the battery
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and enhancements approved by Nokia for use with this particular model.
The use of any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty, and may be dangerous.
This device is intended for use with the BL-4C battery. Always use original Nokia batteries. See
authentication guidelines p. 116.
Check the model number of any charger before use with this device. This device is intended for use when supplied with power
from the AC-3 charger.
For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer.

phone. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few
minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or
before any calls can be made.
3. Disconnect the charger from the phone when the battery is fully
charged.
You can use the phone while the charger is connected. The charging time
depends on the charger and the battery used. For example, charging a
BL-4C battery with the AC-3 charger takes approximately 2 hours and
20 minutes while the phone is in the standby mode.
■ Memory card installation
Use only compatible microSD cards with this device. Other memory cards do not fit in the memory
card slot and are not compatible with this device. Using an incompatible memory card may damage
the memory card as well as the device, and data stored on the incompatible card may be corrupted.
Use only memory cards approved by Nokia. While Nokia conforms to the approved
industry standards in the use of memory cards, full compatibility across all brands cannot
be assured due to product quality varying among third party manufacturers.
You can use a memory card to extend the memory of the Gallery. See Gallery p. 80. You can insert or change
the memory card without turning the phone off.
Important: Do not remove the memory card in the middle of an operation when the card is being accessed.

and swing the holder open (1). Place the memory card in the card holder (2). Make sure that the memory card is
properly inserted and that the gold-colored contacts on the card are facing upwards. Close the memory card
holder (3).
You can use the memory card to save your multimedia files, such as video clips, sound files, and images, in the
Gallery.
To remove the memory card, use a finger nail as a lever. Place it in the recessed area of the memory card holder
and swing the holder open. Push gently with a finger nail against the card to loosen it from the holder; then
pull the card out. Close the memory card holder.
To format the memory card, see Format memory card p. 80.
