■ Network services
To use the phone you must have
service from a wireless service provider
or network operator. 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 on
your device menu. Your device may
also have been specially configured.
This configuration may include
changes in menu names, menu order
and icons. Contact your service
provider for more information.
This device supports WAP 2.0 protocols
(HTTP and SSL) that run on TCP/IP
protocols. Some features of this device,
such as Minibrowser require network
support for these technologies.
■ About your device
The wireless devices described in this
guide are approved for use on the
CDMA 800 and 1900, AMPS networks,
and GPS in the Nokia 6275i device.
Contact your network operator for
more information about networks.
Note: The Nokia 6275i GPS
Application is a simple and
convenient navigation system.
It is not enabled for
emergency services use and is
not able to indicate your
specific location to emergency
services in the event of an
emergency.
When using the features in this device,
obey all laws and respect privacy and
legitimate rights of others. When
taking and using images or video clips,
obey all laws and respect local customs
as well as privacy and 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
device use may cause
interference or danger.
■ Shared memory
The following device features may
share memory: contacts; text
messages; photos, images, and tones in
the 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 the
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.
Congratulations on your purchase of

indicate your specific location
to emergency services in the
event of an emergency.
Set up your phone
Note: As with any other radio
transmitting device, do not
touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the device
is switched on. Contact with
the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the
device to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise
needed. Avoiding contact with
the antenna area when
operating the device optimises
the antenna performance and
the battery life.
Always switch off the power and
disconnect the charger before
removing the battery. Avoid touching
electronic components while changing
the covers. Always store and use the
device with the covers attached.
Prolonged, continuous use of your
device may increase the device
temperature. The increased
temperature is a normal function of
this product and does not pose a safety
concern for you or the device. If the
temperature is uncomfortable to you,
use a headset or allow your device to
return to room temperature before
your next call.
Remove the back cover
Note: Always switch off the
power, and disconnect the
charger and any other device
before removing the cover.

If you have subscribed to a message
network service, you can send and
receive messages to compatible
phones that are also subscribed to a
message service. You can make
distribution lists that contain phone
numbers and names from your
contacts list. See “Create distribution
lists”, p. 15.
Your device supports the sending of
text messages beyond the character
limit of a single message. Longer
messages are sent as a series of two or
more messages. Your service provider
may charge accordingly. Characters
that use accents or other marks,
and characters from some language
options like Chinese, take up more
space limiting the number of
characters that can be sent in a single
message.
When composing text messages, check
the number of characters allowed in
the top right corner of the message.
Using Unicode characters takes up
more space. With Unicode characters
in your message, the indicator may not
show the message length correctly.
Before sending the message, the phone
tells you if the message exceeds the
maximum length allowed for one
message.
Important: Exercise caution
opening messages. Messages
may contain malicious
software or otherwise be
harmful to your device or PC.
Note: When you send a
message, your device may
display Message sent,
indicating your device has sent
the message to the message
center number programmed
into your device. This is not an
indication that the message
