■ microSD card

You can save data such as ringing tones, themes, tones, images,
and video clips on a compatible microSD card.

It is possible to remove or replace the microSD card during phone
operation without switching the phone off.

Your phone supports microSD cards up to 4 GB.

Use only compatible microSD cards approved by Nokia for use with this device. Nokia uses
approved industry standards for memory cards, but some brands may not be fully compatible
with this device. Incompatible cards may damage the card and the device and corrupt data
stored on the card.

Important: Do not remove the memory card in the middle of an operation when
the card is being accessed. Removing the card in the middle of an operation may
damage the memory card as well as the device, and data stored on the card may
be corrupted.

■ Switch the phone on and off

1. Press and hold the power key.

2. If the phone asks for a PIN or a UPIN code, enter the code
(displayed as ****), and select OK.

When you switch on your phone for the first time, and the

configuration settings from your service provider (network
service). Confirm or decline the query. See “Configuration,”
p. 38, and “Configuration settings service,” p. 14.

provider.

■ Antenna

Your device may have internal and external antennas. As with
any radio transmitting device, avoid touching the antenna
area unnecessarily while the antenna is transmitting or
receiving. Contact with such an antenna affects the

2. Near Field Communication

■ NFC

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a wireless connectivity technology that
enables two-way communication between electronic devices. You can perform
contactless transactions, access digital content, and connect devices with a single
touch.

NFC operates over a distance of a few centimeters. NFC technology is supported
by leading mobile device manufacturers and is compatible with the majority of
available non-contact payment and ticketing card infrastructures.

To change your NFC device name, select Menu > NFC > NFC device name. The NFC
device name is used by other NFC devices to recognize your phone.

For more information about NFC, select Menu > NFC > NFC Introduction.

■ NFC detection

To switch NFC on or off, select Menu > NFC > NFC settings.

To save battery power, your device automatically switches off the screen backlight
and sets NFC to standby mode. Any action on the device re-activates the screen
backlight and NFC.

Note: When Flight mode is activated, only NFC card applications and

services can be used.

To use NFC, switch on the phone and
activate the NFC setting, if disabled.
Touch the service tag or other NFC
device with the detection area.

The reading range is typically
0to3centimetres.

When a tag or device is recognised,
corresponding information is
displayed.

■ Share to device

Select Menu > NFC > Share to device and select the desired option.
