• CONTACT NOKIA
When you need help, the Nokia Customer Care department can provide
information about Nokia products. However, you may wish to check
through your user guide before calling the customer care center, as it is
a comprehensive guide to using your phone.
Whether you are calling about your phone or an enhancement, have the
equipment with you when you call. For example, if you are calling about
a headset, please have it nearby.
Welcome
Have the right information available
We recommend that you have the following information available before
you contact the Nokia Customer Care department:
• The phone model number
• Electronic serial number (ESN), located on the phone label.

The phone label
The label is on the back of your phone (under the battery). It contains
important information about your phone, including the model and
serial numbers.
Please do not remove or deface the label.
• CONTACT YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER
Some service providers program a one-key customer support number into
the phone. This number can be useful if you are having trouble dialing a
number, especially when you are traveling outside your home area.
This one-key feature might not be available on your system. Contact your
service provider for availability.
Your device has an internal antenna. 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
phone to operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed. Avoiding contact with the
antenna area when operating the phone
optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Warning: If the phone becomes too hot during a call, the call is
automatically terminated. You will not be able to make or receive
calls until the phone cools.
Don’t touch
• THE BATTERY
Installing
If your dealer has already installed the
battery, please see “Charging” on
page 10.
1 Place the battery in the compartment
with the label side facing up and the
golden contact area aligned with the
contact pins.
2 Press the top end of the battery into place.
To learn how to remove and replace the covers, see “Xpress-on™
covers” on page 12.
Follow these guidelines to optimize
battery performance.
1 With your phone turned off, connect
the charger plug to the bottom of
the phone. Connect the charger to
an ac wall outlet.
The battery indicator bar appears on
the right-hand side of the screen
and starts to scroll from bottom to
top. It will remain constant when
the phone is fully charged.
2 Disconnect the charger from the
phone and ac outlet when the battery is fully charged.
After the indicator bar stops scrolling, you can leave the charger
connected and the battery will accept a “trickle charge” to maintain
a fully charged battery. See
more information on batteries.
Note: Charge the new battery for three hours before using. Use the
battery until it is fully discharged. You should do this for a total of
three charging cycles. After the first charge, you can make and
receive calls during the charging cycle, but the calls interrupt the
charge. When a call ends, the charge will resume. The charging
time depends on the charger you use.
Before removing the battery, make sure the phone has been turned off for
at least 10 seconds.
1 Place your index finger in the
grove at the top of the battery,
and lift out of phone.
2 Take out the battery.
To learn how to remove and replace
the covers, see Xpress-on covers on
page 12.
Warning: Use only your
hands to remove the battery. Do not puncture, burn, or use any
objects that may damage the phone or the battery. Please recycle
the battery or dispose of properly according to local regulations.
