• ABOUT YOUR PHONE
The Nokia 7610 phone comes in two model types—the Nokia 7610 phone, which is
approved for use in 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz GSM networks, and the Nokia 7610 b
phone, which is approved for use in 850, 1800, and 1900 MHz GSM networks.
To view your model type, refer to the information label under the battery. For more
information about where this label is located, see “Find the phone label” on page 4.
When using the features in this device, obey all laws and respect privacy and
legitimate rights of others.
Warning: To use any features in this device, other than the alarm clock,
the phone must 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 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. Contact
your service provider for more information.
When using the features in this device, obey all laws and respect privacy and
legitimate rights of others.
• SHARED MEMORY
The following features in this device may share memory: contacts, text messages,
e-mail messages, multimedia messages, instant messages, images and ringing tones,
video recorder, RealPlayer, calendar and to-do notes, themes, and downloaded
applications. The use of one or more of these features may reduce the memory
available for the remaining features sharing memory. For example, saving many
images may use all of the available 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 may have a certain amount of memory specially
allotted to them in addition to the amount of memory shared with other features.
Congratulations on your purchase of a Nokia mobile phone. Your phone provides
many functions that are practical for daily use, such as a digital camera, a video
recorder, messaging, e-mail, a clock, an alarm clock, a calculator, and a calendar.
Your phone can connect to a PC, laptop, or other device using a data cable or
Bluetooth technology. For more information on connectivity, refer to the PC Suite
user guide on the CD-ROM supplied with your phone. The PC Suite user guide,
Nokia PC Suite, and all related software can be downloaded from the U.S. Mobile

To begin using your phone, a SIM card must be inserted into the phone. You may
also use a memory card with the phone. Before you attempt to insert or remove a
SIM card or memory card, review the following procedures to become familiar with
the inside of your phone.
“Nokia 7610 phone at a glance” on page v identifies other features on your phone.

direction of the arrow (1).
2 While pressing the locking catch, slide the back cover off of the phone (2).
3 Remove the battery from the phone if necessary.
• INSERT THE SIM CARD
Keep all SIM cards out of the reach of small children. For availability and information
on using SIM card services, contact your SIM card vendor. This may be the service
provider, network operator, or other vendor. For a better understanding of your SIM
card, see “SIM card” on page 108.

2 To open the SIM card holder, slide the
holder in the open direction (1), and lift
the holder up (2).

• INSERT THE MEMORY CARD
This phone uses a reduced size multimedia card (RS-MMC). Only use RS-MMCs
with this device. For more information on the memory card adapter, see “Attach
and remove the memory card adapter” on page 79.
Other memory cards, such as secure digital (SD) cards, do not fit in the memory
card slot and are not compatible with this device. Attempts to use a noncompatible
memory card may damage the memory card as well as the phone, and data stored
on the noncompatible card may be corrupted. See “Memory card” on page 78 for
further information.
Keep all memory cards out of the reach of small children.
See “Remove the back cover” on page 6 for details on removing the phone cover.

2 Insert the top of the memory card under
the hood at the right side of the slot and
carefully slide the memory card to the
right until it fits in the slot.
Make sure that the bevelled corner on
the memory card is facing toward the
bottom right side of the phone and that

battery with the corresponding connectors
on the phone, and push the opposite end
of the battery until it snaps into place.
2 Slide the cover back onto the phone. You will hear it click into place.
• CHARGE THE BATTERY
Warning: Use only chargers approved by Nokia for use with this particular
model. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty,
and may be dangerous.
Check the model number of any charger before
use with this device. This device is intended for
use when supplied with power from ACP-12U.
1 Connect the charger to an ac wall outlet.
2 Connect the power cord from the charger to
the base of the phone. (You will hear it click
into place.)
The battery indicator bar starts scrolling.
Note that you can use the phone while
charging. When the battery is fully charged, the bar stops scrolling.

See "Battery information" on page 111. See also “Other compatible Nokia
enhancements” on page 112 for a list of other compatible chargers.

You can attach the wrist strap at the top left corner or
bottom right corner of the phone. Thread the strap
through the holder and tighten it.
Note: Only connect the strap to one fixture at
a time. Use only Nokia approved enhancements.
• TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION
Your phone has an internal antenna on the back of the
phone above the camera lens.
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 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.
