Read these simple guidelines. Not following them may be dangerous or illegal. For
further info, read the complete user guide.

SWITCH OFF IN RESTRICTED AREAS

Switch the device off when mobile phone use is not allowed or when it may

medical equipment, fuel, chemicals, or blasting areas. Obey all instructions
in restricted areas.

ROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST

Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands free to operate the vehicle while
driving. Your first consideration while driving should be road safety.

INTERFERENCE

All wireless devices may be susceptible to interference, which could affect
performance.

BATTERIES, CHARGERS, AND OTHER ACCESSORIES

Use only batteries, chargers, and other accessories approved by Nokia for
use with this device. Do not connect incompatible products.

Your dual SIM phone

You can have two SIM cards in your phone.

Some benefits of a dual SIM phone

• Have two phone numbers, but carry one phone – use a work and personal SIM at
the same time.

• It doesn't matter which number people call – both SIMs are active.

• Save money – use the best network service provider for a situation.

• Stay in touch – avoid differences in network coverage between service providers.

Both SIM cards are available at the same time when the device is not being used, but
while one SIM card is active, for example, making a call, the other is unavailable.

If you only have one SIM card, put the card into the SIM1 card holder. Some features
and services may only be available when using the SIM card in the SIM1 card holder.
If there is a SIM card only in the SIM2 card holder, you can only make emergency calls.

Availability of SIMs

• When you set one SIM to be used for outgoing calls, sending text or multimedia
messages, or uploading and downloading data, the other SIM can still receive calls
or text and multimedia messages.

• When one SIM is having a call, sending or receiving text or multimedia messages,
or uploading or downloading data, the other is not available.

Charge the battery

Your battery has been partially charged at the factory, but you may need to recharge
it before you can switch on your phone for the first time. If the phone indicates a low
charge, do the following:

Get started 11

1 Connect the charger to a wall outlet.
2 Connect the charger to the phone.
3 When the phone indicates a full charge, disconnect the charger from the phone,

then from the wall outlet.

You do not need to charge the battery for a specific length of time, and you can use
the phone while it is charging.

If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the
charging indicator is displayed or before any calls can be made.

Charge the battery over USB

Battery low, but you don't have a charger with you? You can use a compatible USB
cable to connect to a compatible device, such as a computer.

To avoid breaking the charger connector, be careful when connecting or
disconnecting the charger cable.

You can use USB charging when a wall outlet is not available. Data can be transferred
while charging the device. The efficiency of USB charging power varies significantly,
and it may take a long time for charging to start and the device to start functioning.

Switch the phone on or off

Press and hold the power key until the phone vibrates.

12 Get started

You may be prompted to get the configuration settings from your network service
provider. For more information on this network service, contact your network service
provider.

GSM antenna

The figure shows the GSM antenna area marked in grey.

Avoid touching the antenna area while the antenna is in use. Contact with antennas
affects the communication quality and may reduce battery life due to higher power
level during operation.

Connect a headset

Do not connect products that create an output signal, as this may damage the device.
Do not connect any voltage source to the Nokia AV connector. If you connect an
external device or headset, other than those approved for use with this device, to the
Nokia AV connector, pay special attention to volume levels.

Basic use 13
