only when the phone is switched on, has a valid SIM card fitted, and is

located in the service area of the cellular network. However, emergency
calls to the international emergency number 112 may be made without
the SIM card in some networks. Please, check with your network
operator.
1 Close the device cover and ensure that the phone is switched off. If it is
on, press the power on/off switch
2 If the battery is connected to the communicator, remove the battery:
press the catch at the top of the battery and lift the battery away from the
battery cavity.
3 Slide the SIM card into the SIM card slot: ensure that the gold contacts
of the SIM card are facing down and that the bevelled corner of the card
is on the right.
Note: Keep all miniature SIM cards out of small children’s reach.
4 When the SIM card is properly inserted into the SIM card slot, the
bevelled corner will remain visible.
5 When you are sure that the SIM card is correctly installed, replace the
battery. If there is little or no charge in the battery, it is recommended that
you connect the communicator to the charger and start charging the
battery before continuing with the start–up procedure. See below.
Quick Guide
6 Open the cover of the communicator. You will see a welcome screen
while the communicator performs a self–test.

display, see figure 4. Scroll the dark grey selection frame using the arrow
keys on the keyboard over the name of your home country. Press
thebutton on the right side of the display next to the command OK.
Thecapital of your home country will be set as your home city.

forexample
Note: The battery does not fit into place if the SIMcard is not correctly
installed. Do not force the battery into place! Check that you have
inserted the SIM card into the slot as described above. If the SIM card is
incorrectly installed, remove it by pulling it away from the slot, and insert it
again.
9 Write the current time using the 24–hour format
17:25, and press OK.
10 Enter your contact information in the user data card and press OK.
The first start–up is now completed.
After the start–up, do not immediately remove the battery, as the battery

To charge the battery
1 Connect the charger lead to the bottom of the communicator:
Draft 01/99

Quick Guide
2 Connect the charger to the proper voltage AC wall outlet. While
charging is in progress, the battery charge indicator scrolls on the display.
To use the battery
Use only batteries approved by the communicator manufacturer and
recharge the battery only with the chargers approved by the
manufacturer. With approved chargers and accessories, the battery can
be charged continuously. The battery need not be fully discharged before
recharging. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power
source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a
week, since excessive charging may shorten its life. If left unused, a fully
charged battery will discharge itself over time.
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.
Note: The communicator can be used normally during charging.
Technical Documentation
Note
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge:
allow it to cool down or warm up first.
Battery operation time is affected by the following: whether both the
phone and the communicator interface are on, radio signal strength,
various phone settings, the use of the backlight, and the length of the
screen blanker period.
It is recommended always to keep a charged battery in the communicator.
Keeping the battery charged maximises the lifetime of the backup battery
supplying power to the real–time clock of the communicator. In case the
backup battery is drained, it will be automatically charged the next time a
charged battery is reconnected to the communicator.
Always close the device cover before removing the battery. Closing the
cover will save all data.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
Do not short–circuit the battery. Accidental short–circuiting can occur
when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the +
and –terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery), for
example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse.
Short–circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting
object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in
summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the
battery. Always try to keep the battery between +15°C (+59°F) and +25°C
(+77°F). A communicator with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not

work, even when the battery is fully charged. The performance of
Lithium–ion batteries is particularly limited in temperatures below 0°C
(+32°F).
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Batteries must not be
disposed of in municipal waste.
Communicator
To switch on the communicator interface:
The communicator interface is switched on simply by opening the cover.

To use the Nokia Communicator Server
If you have Windows 3.11 or Apple Macintosh, use the Nokia
Communicator Server program for PC connectivity. The Windows version
of the Nokia Communicator Server is found on the diskette in the sales
package, and the Apple Macintosh version is on the CD–ROM.

applications that require PC connectivity. You need to connect your
communicator to a PC and start the necessary application on the
communicator.
