The wireless device described in this guide is approved for use on the EGSM 900 and GSM
1800 and 1900 networks. Contact your service provider for more information about
networks.
When using the features in this device, obey all laws and respect the 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.
■ 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 utilize 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 for your network provider. 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 text messages, multimedia messages, instant messaging
service, e-mail application, presence enhanced contacts, mobile Internet services, content
and application download, and synchronization with a remote Internet server, require
network support for these technologies.
■ Shared memory
The following features in this device may share memory: contacts, text messages, instant
messages, SMS e-mail, voice tags, calendar, and notes. Use of one or more of these features
may reduce the memory available for the remaining features sharing memory. For example,
saving many SMS e-mail may use all of the available memory. Your device 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 contacts, text messages, instant messages and
SMS e-mail may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to
the memory shared with other features.
■ Enhancements
A few practical rules about accessories and enhancements are as follows:
• 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.
Your phone provides many functions that are practical for daily use, such as a
calendar, a clock, an alarm clock, a FM-radio, and a built-in camera. Your phone
also supports the following functions:
• Multimedia messaging. See Multimedia messages (MMS) p. 39.
• Instant messages. See Instant messaging (IM) p. 44.
• E-mail. See E-mail application p. 50.
• Presence-enhanced contacts. See My presence p. 63.
• EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution). See Packet data (EGPRS) p. 75.
• Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition, J2ME®. See Applications p. 93.
• XHTML browser. See Web p. 101.
■ Access codes
Security code
The security code (5 to 10 digits) helps to protect your phone against
unauthorized use. The preset code is 12345. To change the code and set the phone
to request the code, see Security p. 79.
The personal identification number (PIN) code and the universal personal
identification number (UPIN) code (4 to 8 digits) help to protect your SIM card
against unauthorized use. See Security p. 79.

some functions.
The module PIN is required to access the information in the security module. See
Security module p. 108.
The signing PIN is required for the digital signature. See Digital signature p. 110.
PUK codes
The personal unblocking key (PUK) code and the universal personal unblocking key
(UPUK) code (8 digits) is required to change a blocked PIN code and UPIN code,
respectively. The PUK2 code (8 digits) is required to change a blocked PIN2 code. If
the codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact your local service provider
for the codes.
Barring password
The barring password (4 digits) is required when using the Call barring service. See
The wallet code (4 to 8 digits) is required to access the wallet services. For further
information, see Wallet p. 97.
■ Configuration settings service
To use some of the network services, such as mobile Internet services, MMS, or
remote Internet server synchronization, your phone must have the correct
configuration settings. You may be able to receive the settings directly as a
configuration message. After receiving the settings you must save them on your
phone. The service provider may provide a PIN that is needed to save the settings.
For more information on availability, contact your network operator, service
provider, nearest authorized Nokia dealer, or visit the support area on the Nokia
Web site, <www.nokia.com/support>.
When you have received a configuration message, Configuration sett. received is
displayed.
To save the settings, select Show > Save. If the phone requests Enter settings'
PIN:, enter the PIN code for the settings, and select OK. To receive the PIN code,
contact the service provider that supplies the settings. If no settings are saved yet,
these settings are saved and set as default configuration settings. Otherwise, the
phone asks Activate saved configuration settings?.
To discard the received settings, select Exit or Show > Discard.
You may be able to download new content (for example, themes) to the phone
(network service). Select the download function (for example, in the Gallery
menu). To access the download function, see the respective menu descriptions. For
the availability of different services, pricing, and tariffs, contact your service
provider.
Important: Use only services that you trust and that offer adequate security and
protection against harmful software.
