Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
WAR NI NG
Use only Nokia-approved batteries and chargers with
your phone. The failure to use a Nokia-approved
battery and charger may increase the risk that your
phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in
serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a 1150 mAh Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
battery (BL-6C). It allows you to recharge your battery before
it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 4.0 hours of
continuous digital talk time. (Standby time is measured with
the phone closed.)
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon
blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk
time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then
powers down.
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
Note:
mode, and browser use affect the battery’s talk and
standby times.
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
Tip:
charge the battery before it runs out of power.
Phone Basics
Section 2A: Phone Basics21
Page 48
Removing the Battery
WAR NI NG
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as
you can be burned.
Always switch the phone off and disconnect the
charger before removing the battery.
To remove your battery:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any
stored numbers or messages.
2. To remove the back cover, turn the phone upside down,
push down on the back cover and slide it toward the
bottom of the phone.
3. Lift up the battery to remove it.
22Section 2A: Phone Basics
Page 49
Installing the Battery
To install the Li-Ion battery:
1. To install, insert the battery into the opening on the
back of the phone and gently press down until the
latch snaps into place.
2. Slide the back cover onto the back of the phone.
Phone Basics
Section 2A: Phone Basics23
Page 50
Charging the Battery
Your phone’s Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and, if not already,
should be charged as soon as possible, so that you can begin
using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s
charge is important. If your battery
level becomes too low, your phone
automatically turns off and you
will lose all the information you
were just working on. For a quick
check of your phone’s battery level,
glance at the battery charge
indicator at the top of your phone’s
display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the
battery icon blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Nokia-approved desktop charger, travel charger,
or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
WAR NI NG
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage
to your phone and void the warranty.
Using the Charger
To use the travel charger provided with your phone:
䊳 Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s
charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet.
It takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes (model AC-4
charger) or approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes (model AC-3
charger) to fully recharge a completely discharged battery.
With the approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the
battery before it becomes completely run down.
The BL-6C battery provides up to 4.0 hours of talk time.
Operation times are estimates and may vary depending on
network conditions, charging, and phone use.
24Section 2A: Phone Basics
Page 51
Using Your Phone’s Antenna
Your phone has an external
antenna located towards the
top of the phone with the fold
closed. Extend the antenna
fully. Hold the phone with the
antenna area pointed up and
over your shoulder.
As with any other radio
transmitting phone, do
not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the
phone is switched on.
Contact with your phone’s antenna affects call quality and
may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed. Avoiding contact with antenna area when
operating the phone optimizes the antenna performance and
battery life.
An internal GPS antenna is activated when you place an
emergency call or when you select the Location info sharing
mode from the Menu > Settings > Call menu. See “Location Info
Sharing” on page 55.

that plugs into your phone's headset jack. If this cable was
not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.
When establishing your wireless service, please call your
service provider via the state Telecommunications Relay
Service (TRS) by first dialing. Then provide
the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.
In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon.

⽧ Setting Roaming Tones
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the
network available to you. Your new dual-band/tri-mode 6165i
phone by Nokia works anywhere on the network available to
you and allows you to roam on other analog networks and
1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented
roaming agreements with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works, as well as
detailing the special features that let you manage your
roaming experience.
Roaming
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience71

Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the network available to you. Any time you are roaming,
the phone displays the roaming icon (). If you are roaming
on an analog system, the roaming icon will display along with
the text “Analog Roam.”
Remember, when you are using your phone off the
Tip:
network available to you, always dial numbers using 11
digits (1 + area code + number).
Unless your service plan includes roaming, you will pay a
Note:
higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls on the network available to you. However, you
may not be able to access certain features, such as data
services.
If you’re on a call when you leave the network available to you
Note:
and enter an area where roaming is available, your call is
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think
network service is available, turn your phone off and on again
to reconnect to the network available to you.
72Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Page 99
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as data services, will be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail. If you are accustomed to network service, you may
notice some of the following differences when using analog
service:
䢇 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
䢇 Some features that are standard on the enhanced
network available to you, such as call waiting, data
services, and direct international dialing, may be
unavailable.
䢇 Although callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the network available to you.
䢇 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that are inherent to conventional analog services
today.
䢇 Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel
Note:
warm. This is normal for analog operation.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the network available to you, you
will not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail
messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need
to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you
are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.
Roaming

To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1+area code+your phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the
voice prompts.
When you return to the network available to you, voicemail
notification will resume as normal.
Setting Your Phone’s Roaming Options
Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities.
By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which
signals your phone accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your phone to control
your roaming experience.
To set your phone’s roaming options:
1. Press Menu > Settings > Roaming > Set mode.
2. Select from the following:
䡲 Home Only allows you to access the network
available to you only and prevents roaming on other
networks.
䡲 Automatic seeks network service. When network
service is unavailable, the phone searches for an
alternate system and a roaming rate applies.
䡲 Roaming only requires the phone to use a roaming
system. The roaming rate applies until the phone is
switched off.
