■ About your device
The Nokia 6255 wireless phone
described in this guide is approved
for use on the CDMA 800, 1900 and
AMPS networks.

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 utilise 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 in
your device menu. Contact your
service provider for more
information.
The following features in this device
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. 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, such as
photos, images, tones in gallery, text
messages, and applications may
have a certain memory specially
allotted to them in addition to the
memory shared with other features.

Minibrowser is a network service.
See "Network Services", ix 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.
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 standby mode screen, select
Menu > Mobile Web.
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.
■ Navigate the mobile
internet
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.

■ Bluetooth connectivity
Bluetooth connectivity enables
cost-free wireless connections
between electronic devices within a
maximum range of 10 metres. 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
synchronise 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 10 metres 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.
This device is 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 standby mode screen,
select Menu > Connectivity >
Bluetooth > Paired devices.
2. Scroll to the desired device, and
select Options and one of the
following
Assign short 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 Yes if you want
the phone to ask for your
permission first.
Delete pairing—Delete the
pairing to the selected device.
Pair new device—Search for
active devices with Bluetooth
connectivity within range, scroll
to the desired device, and select
You can define how your phone is
shown to other devices with

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 standby
mode screen. To view the transferred
item immediately, select Show.
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.
■ Infrared
You can set up the phone to receive
data through its IR port. To use an IR
connection, transmission and
reception must be to or from an IR
compatible phone or device.
Do not point the IR (infrared) beam
at anyone’s eye or allow it to
interfere with other IR devices. This
device is a Class 1 laser product.
Send and receive data
1. Ensure that the IR ports of the
sending and receiving devices are
pointing at each other and that
