• About your device

The wireless device described in this guide is approved for use on the GSM 850/ 1800/1900 and GSM 900/1800/1900 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.

Warning: To use any features in this device, other than the alarm clock, the phone must be switched on. Do not switch the device on when wireless phone 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. Contact your service provider for more information.

For your safety

• Shared memory

The following features in this device may share memory: contacts, text and multimedia messages, instant messaging, voice tags, images, ringing tones, video clips, sound clips, camera, calendar, to-do notes, notes, and Java™ games and applications. Use of one or more of these features may reduce the memory available for the remaining features sharing memory. For example, saving many gallery items may use all of the available memory. Your phone 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 may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the memory shared with other features.

Refer to the appropriate area of this User Guide for information on how to manage the features and data in your device.
