actual melody through a speaker. Your phone has sound components from over 40
instruments that can be used for polyphonic sounds but the phone can play four
instruments simultaneously. The phone supports scalable polyphonic MIDI
(SP-MIDI) format.
You can receive polyphonic ringing tones using multimedia service, (see “Reading

GPRS technology allows mobile phones to send and receive data over a mobile network.
Applications such as WAP, MMS and SMS messaging, and Java™
Your phone supports up to three simultaneous GPRS connections.
on GPRS, see “GPRS” on page 86. Also, consult the PC Connectivity Guide. The PC
Connectivity guide, Nokia PC Suite, and all related software can be downloaded
from the U.S. Mobile Phone products section of www.nokia.com

proper settings on your phone. You may receive the settings directly as an OTA
message and you only need to save the settings on your phone. For more information
on the availability of the settings, contact your network operator, service provider

• SHARED MEMORY
The following features in this phone may share memory: contacts, text and
multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar, to-do lists,
notes application, IM chat sessions, Java games and applications, and e-mail. Using
any such features may reduce the memory available for any features sharing memory.
This is especially true with heavy use of any of the features, although some of the
features may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them in
addition to the amount of memory shared with other features. For example, saving
many images, bookmarks, Java applications, or other features sharing memory may
take all of the shared memory and your phone may display a message that the
memory is full. In this case, delete some of the information or entries stored in the
shared memory features before continuing.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Nokia 6800 mobile phone. Your phone
provides many functions which are practical for daily use, such as a Calendar,
Radio, Alarm clock, Calculator, Notepad and more. Your phone can also connect to
a PC, laptop, or other device using the built-in IR port or data cable (sold separately).

Battery
CHARGE THE BATTERY
1Plug the charger into a standard ac outlet.
2Insert the charger output plug into the round
connector at the bottom end of the phone.
After a few seconds, the battery indicator in
the display starts to scroll from bottom to
top. If the battery is completely discharged, it
may take a few minutes before the charging
indicator appears on the display or any calls
can be made.
Tip: You can use the phone while the charger is connected.
IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION
Important: Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. The Nokia 6800
phone uses only the BLC-2 Li-Ion battery.
Use only batteries approved by Nokia and recharge your battery only with the
chargers approved by Nokia. Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually
wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
PROLONG THE BATTERY LIFE
Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from your battery:
•With your phone turned off, charge your new battery for three hours before
its first use. Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Repeat this procedure
twice for a total of three charging cycles.
•Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles. Battery operation time may be less
than the estimated times during the first charges. This condition is normal.
•You can use your phone while the battery is charging. However, if the battery
is completely empty, it may need to recharge a few minutes before you can
make or receive calls or the battery indicator appears.
•After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the charging
cycle, but the calls interrupt the charge. When the phone call ends, the charge
will resume.
•The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the phone is
fully charged. If you switch the phone on when charging is complete, the
message Battery full momentarily appears in the display.
Charging time depends on the charger and the battery used. For example, charging
a BLC-2 battery with the ACP-12 charger takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes in
standby mode.
Important: When the phone’s battery is fully charged, be sure to
disconnect the charger from the phone and the outlet.
REMOVE THE BACK COVER
With the back of the phone facing you,
push the back cover release button.
Note: Before removing the cover,
always switch off the power and
disconnect the charger and any
other device. Avoid touching
electronic components while the
cover is removed. Always store
and use the device with the cover attached.
REMOVE THE BATTERY
After you have removed the back cover, insert
your finger into the finger grip and lift the
battery from its compartment.
If you need help, Nokia Customer Care is
available for assistance.
We also recommend that you write down
the following information so it can be
available if you call. The information can
be found on the back of the phone,
beneath the battery.
•The International Mobile Equipment
Identity (IMEI)
•We also ask that you write down your zip code.
