■ Multimedia messages
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, and a picture. Or a multimedia
message can contain a video clip. Your phone supports multimedia messages that
are up to 300 KB. If the maximum size is exceeded, the phone may not be able to
receive the message. Depending upon your network, you may receive a message that
includes an Internet address where you can go to view the multimedia message.
Pictures are scaled to fit the display area of the phone. Your phone has a multimedia
message viewer for playing messages and a multimedia inbox for storing saved
messages. Once you save the multimedia message, you can use the image as a
screen saver or the sound as a ringing tone.
Important: Multimedia message objects may contain viruses or otherwise
be harmful to your device or PC. Do not open any attachment if you are not
sure of the trustworthiness of the sender.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, and other content
from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded.
Note: This function can be used only if it is supported by your service provider
or network operator. For availability and a subscription to the multimedia
messaging service, contact your service provider or network operator. Only
compatible devices can receive and display multimedia messages.
Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, WBMP, BMP, and PNG
• Sound: SP-MIDI, AMR audio, QCELP, and monophonic ringing tones
• Video: clips in H.263 format with SubQCIF image size and AMR audio
Note: If a received message contains unsupported elements, these elements
may be replaced with the text Object format not supported.
You cannot receive multimedia messages if you have a call in progress, games or
other applications running, or an active browsing session. Because delivery of
multimedia messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do not rely solely upon them
for essential communications.

mailbox number. You need to save this number to your phone to use voice mail.
When you receive a voice message, your phone lets you know by beeping, displaying
a message, or both. If you receive more than one message, your phone shows the

Minibrowser is a network service. See “Network Services”, page 7 for
more information.
Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services on the
mobile internet. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, then you can
view weather reports, check news or flight times, view financial information, and
much more. The web browser on your phone can display WAP-based content.
Your device may have some bookmarks loaded for sites not affiliated with Nokia.
Nokia does not warrant or endorse these sites. If you choose to access them, you
should take the same precautions, for security or content, as you would with any
internet site.
The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway
and the content server (or place where the requested resource is stored) is secure.
The service provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the
content server.
■ Mobile internet access
Because mobile internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your
wireless provider is now your mobile internet service provider as well.
It is likely that your wireless provider has created a home page and set up your
browser to go to this page when you log on to the mobile internet. Once at your
service provider’s home page, you may find links to a number of other sites.
It should not be necessary to manually configure the browser on your phone.
Normally this is done by your wireless provider once you have subscribed to the
feature. Contact your wireless provider if you have problems using the browser.
■ Sign on to the mobile internet
At the start screen, select Menu > Mobile Web > Minibrowser > Connect.
After a brief pause, your phone attempts to connect to your wireless provider’s home
page. If you receive an error message, your phone may not be set up for browsing.
Contact your wireless provider to make sure that your phone is configured properly.
Since your phone screen is much smaller than a computer screen, mobile internet
content is displayed differently than you may be accustomed to seeing. This section
contains guidelines for using phone keys to navigate a WAP site.
Phone keys
• To display the Minibrowser home screen, press the Power key.
• To browse the WAP site, press the Scroll up or Scroll down key.
• To select a highlighted item, press Select.
• To enter letters and numbers, press a key from 0–9.
• To enter special characters, press the * key.
Receive a call while online
Depending on your wireless service provider, you may still be able to receive a voice
call while using the WAP browser.
• To answer the incoming call, press the Call key.
• To reject the incoming call, press the End key.
After you end your voice call, the mobile internet connection automatically resumes.
Note: If your wireless service provider does not support incoming calls
while browsing, then the incoming calls are automatically diverted to
voice mail.
Make an emergency call while online
You can end your data connection and then make an emergency call.
1. To close your mobile internet connection, simply press the End key.
2. Press the End key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
phone for calls.
3. Enter the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911).
Emergency numbers vary by location.
You can connect the phone to a compatible device using an IR or
Bluetooth connection. You can also connect the phone to a compatible PC using IR,
Bluetooth, or a data cable; and use the phone as a modem to enable connectivity
from the PC.

related software can be downloaded from the U.S. Mobile Phone products section
of www.nokia.com
■ Bluetooth connectivity
Bluetooth connectivity enables cost-free wireless connections between electronic
devices within a maximum range of 30 feet. A Bluetooth connection can be used to
send and receive images, texts, gallery files, voice recordings, video clips, notes,
business cards, and calendar notes. It can also be used to connect wirelessly to
products that use Bluetooth wireless technology, such as computers. You can
synchronize your phone and your PC using a Bluetooth connection.
Since devices with Bluetooth connectivity communicate using radio waves, your
phone and the other device do not need to be in direct line-of-sight.
The two devices only need to be within a maximum of 30 feet (10 meters) of each
other, although the connection can be subject to interference from obstructions
such as walls or from other electronic devices.
The Bluetooth application consumes the battery and reduces the operating time of
the phone. Take this into account when performing other operations with your phone.
There may be restrictions on using devices with Bluetooth connectivity. Check with
your local authorities.
These devices are compliant with Bluetooth specification 1.1 supporting the
following profiles:
To ensure interoperability between other devices supporting Bluetooth technology,
use Nokia approved enhancements for this model. Check with the manufacturers of
other devices to determine their compatibility with this device.
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some locations. Check with
your local authorities or service provider.
Features using Bluetooth technology, or allowing such features to run in the background
while using other features, increase the demand on battery power and reduces the
battery life.
Pairing
You can set up a permanent association (pairing) between your phone and another
device with Bluetooth connectivity. Some devices may require pairing before data
transfer can take place.
To pair with a device, you and the owner of the other device must agree on a
passcode of 1–16 numeric characters. The first time you try to connect the devices,
you must each enter the same passcode. Once the devices are paired, you will not
need to use the passcode again, so there is no need to remember it.
Paired devices are placed in your paired device list. You can view the list even when
Bluetooth is not active or when the devices in the list are not available for connection.
To view the paired device list:
1. From the start screen, select Menu > Connectivity > Bluetooth > Paired devices.
2. Scroll to the desired device, and select Options and one of the following
Assign sho rt name—Give a nickname to the selected device (visible to you only).
Request conn. authorization—Select No if you want the phone to connect to
the selected device automatically or Ye s if you want the phone to ask for your
permission first.
Delete pairing—Delete the pairing to the selected device.
Pair new dev ice—Search for active devices with Bluetooth connectivity within
range, scroll to the desired device, and select Pai r to establish pairing with
that device.
You can define how your phone is shown to other devices with Bluetooth connectivity.
From the start screen, select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth >
Bluetooth settings and one of the following:
My phone's visibility—Select Shown to all to show the phone to all other devices
with Bluetooth connectivity or Hidden to show the phone only to the paired devices.
My phone's name—Change your phone name that is seen by other users.
Set up a Bluetooth connection
1. From the start screen, select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth.
2. Select Bluetooth > On. The active Bluetooth connection is indicated by at
the top of the display.
3. Select Search for audio enhancements to search for compatible devices with
Bluetooth connectivity.
The list of found devices appears in the display.
4. Select the desired device.
5. If required, enter the Bluetooth passcode of the device to pair with the device.
Your phone connects to the device. You can start data transfer.
6. To view the device you are connected to, select Active device.
7. To deactivate Bluetooth, select Bluetooth > Off.
Send data
Instead of using the Settings menu, you can use other phone menus to send various
types of data to other devices with Bluetooth connectivity. For example, you can
send a video clip from the Video clips folder of the Gallery menu. See the appropriate
sections of the user guide for information about sending different types of data.
Receive a data transfer
When a Bluetooth connection is active in your phone, you can receive notes,
business cards, video clips, and other types of data transfers from another device
with Bluetooth connectivity. When you receive a data transfer, an alarm sounds, and
a message appears in the start screen.
To view the transferred item immediately, select Show.
To save the item for later viewing, select Exit.
Depending on the nature of the item it is saved in the appropriate menu in your
phone. For example, a business card would be saved in Contacts, and a calendar note
would be saved in Calendar.

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.
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of reach
of small children.
A few practical rules about accessories and enhancements:
• Keep all accessories and enhancements out of the reach of small children.
• When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory or enhancement, grasp
and pull the plug, not the cord.
• Check regularly that enhancements installed in a vehicle are mounted and are
operating properly.
• Installation of any complex car enhancements must be made by qualified
personnel only.
This section provides information about your phone’s batteries, enhancements,
chargers, safety guidelines and technical information. Be aware that the information
in this section is subject to change as batteries, chargers, and enhancements change.
■ Battery information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new
battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually
wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, buy
a new battery. Use only Nokia approved batteries, and recharge your battery only
with Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not
leave the battery connected to a charger. Overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If
left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. Temperature extremes
can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that
is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a
metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the
battery.) This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your
pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the
connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter
conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep
the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A device with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated
with care. The suggestions below will help you protect your warranty coverage.
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or moisture can
contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet,
remove the battery and allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and
electronic components can be damaged.
• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal
temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic
circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards and fine mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean
the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
• Use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean any lenses (such as camera, proximity sensor,
and light sensor lenses).
• Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the device and may
violate regulations governing radio devices.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any
enhancement. If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized
service facility for service.
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch
off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or
danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions. This device meets RF
exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear of
when positioned at least 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from the body. When a carry case,
belt clip, or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and
should position the device at least 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from your body.
In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection
to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be
delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance
instructions are followed until the transmission is completed.
■ Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult
a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off
your device in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF energy.
PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 in (15.3 cm)
be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
To minimize the potential for interference, persons with pacemakers should
• Always keep the device more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker
when the device is switched on
• Not carry the device in a breast pocket
• Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your
device immediately.
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference
occurs, consult your service provider.
■ Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid
(antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag systems. For
more information, check with the manufacturer or its representative of your vehicle
or any equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty
that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in
your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable
liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its
parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air
bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including installed or portable
wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
■ Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch
off the device at refuelling points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution
areas, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They
include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless device while in the air. The use of wireless
telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt
the wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of telephone
services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Important: Wireless phones, including this phone, operate using radio signals,
wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed functions.
Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. You
should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential communications
like medical emergencies.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.
2. Press the End key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
device for calls.
3. Key in the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency
numbers vary by location.
4. Press the Call key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before you
can make an emergency call. If the device is in an offline or flight mode you must
change the profile to activate the phone function before you can make an emergency
call. Consult this guide or your service provider. When making an emergency call,
give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Your wireless device
may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident. Do not end
the call until given permission to do so.
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is d esigned and manufactured
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy adopted by the
governments of the USA through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and Canada through Industry Canada (IC). These limits establish permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit adopted by the USA and Canada
is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public to account
for any variations in measurements. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device can be
well below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power
required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of
factors such as how close you are to a network base station.
The highest SAR value reported to the FCC and IC for this device type when tested
for use at the ear is 1.27W/kg, and when properly work on the body is 0.78W/kg. SAR
information on file with the FCC can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
reported in other countries may vary depending on differences in reporting and
testing requirements and the network band. Additional SAR information may be
provided under product information at www.nokia.com.
