Insert SIM card and battery

Safe removal. Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing
the battery.

The SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or bending, so be
careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card.

1 Press the release buttons, and remove the back cover (1, 2).
2 Remove the battery (3).
3 Insert the SIM card. Ensure the contact surface area is facing down and the beveled

corner of the SIM card is facing the bottom of the device (4, 5, 6).

4 Replace the battery and the back cover (7, 8, 9).

Switch on or off

Press and hold the power key.

Antennas

Your device may have internal and external antennas. Avoid touching the antenna area
unnecessarily while the antenna is transmitting or receiving. Contact with antennas
affects the communication quality and may cause a higher power level during operation
and may reduce the battery life.

Get started 9

Charge the battery

Your battery has been partially charged at the factory. If the device indicates a low
charge, do the following:

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

then from the wall outlet.

You do not need to charge the battery for a specific length of time, and you can use the
device while it charges. If the battery is completely without charge, it may take several
minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be
made.

Headset

Warning:

When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do not
use the headset where it can endanger your safety.

10 Get started

When connecting any external device or any headset, other than those approved by
Nokia for use with this device, to the Nokia AV Connector, pay special attention to volume
levels.

Do not connect products that create an output signal as this may cause damage to the
device. Do not connect any voltage source to the Nokia AV Connector.

Insert a microSD card

Use only compatible microSD cards approved by Nokia for use with this device. Nokia
uses approved industry standards for memory cards, but some brands may not be fully
compatible with this device. Incompatible cards may damage the card and the device
and corrupt data stored on the card.

Your phone supports microSD cards with a capacity of up to 8 GB.

A compatible memory card may be supplied with the device, and may already be
inserted in the device. If not, do the following:

1 Open the cover of the memory card slot.

Get started 11

2 Insert the card into the memory card slot with the contact surface facing up, and

press until it locks into place.

3 Close the cover of the memory card slot.

Remove the microSD card
Important: Do not remove the memory card during an operation when the card is

being accessed. Doing so may damage the memory card and the device, and corrupt
data stored on the card.

You can remove or replace the memory card during phone operation without switching
the device off, but you need to ensure that no application is currently accessing the
memory card.

Connect a USB data cable

Connect a compatible USB data cable to the USB connector. You may need to purchase
a USB data cable separately.

To modify the USB settings, select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > USB data

cable and the desired mode.

Attach the wrist strap

12 Get started

Thread the wrist strap as shown, and tighten it.

Magnets and magnetic fields

Keep your device away from magnets or magnetic fields.

Access codes

The security code helps to protect your device against unauthorized use. You can create
and change the code, and set the device to request the code. Keep the code secret and
in a safe place separate from your device. If you forget the code and your device is locked,
your device will require service. Additional charges may apply, and all the personal data
in your device may be deleted. For more information, contact a Nokia Care point or your
device dealer.

The PIN code supplied with the SIM card protects the card against unauthorised use.
The PIN2 code supplied with some SIM cards is required to access certain services. If you
enter the PIN or PIN2 code incorrectly three times in succession, you are asked for the
PUK or PUK2 code. If you do not have them, contact your service provider.

The module PIN is required to access the information in the security module of your SIM
card. The signing PIN may be required for the digital signature. The restriction password
is required when using the call restriction service.

To set how your device uses the access codes and security settings, select Menu >

Settings > Security.

When the device is ready for use, and you have not entered any characters, the device
is in the home screen.
