■ Enhancements, batteries, and chargers

Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery. Check the model number of any charger before use with this device. This device is intended

for use when supplied with power from ACP-7 or ACP-12.

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.

For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When you disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of reach of small children.

■ About your device

The wireless devices described in this guide are approved for use on the CDMA 800, 1900 and AMPS networks. Contact your service provider for more information about networks.

When using the features in this device, obey all laws and respect privacy and the legitimate rights of others.

Warning: To use any features in this device, other than the alarm clock, the device must be switched on. Do not switch the device on when wireless phone use may cause interference or danger.

■ Network Services

To use the device 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 them. 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.

■ Shared memory

The following device features may share memory: contacts; text messages; photos, images, and tones in Gallery; calendar notes; games; and applications. Use of one or more of these features may reduce the memory available for the remaining features sharing memory. If your phone displays a message that the memory is full when you try to use a shared memory feature, delete some of the information or entries stored in the shared memory features before continuing. Some of the features, such as photos, images, and tones in Gallery; text messages; and applications may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the memory shared with other features.
