service provider.
Tip: Your device includes a settings database
(Mobile operator setup wizard) with
predefined settings of some cellular service
providers.
Note: All cellular operators and settings are
not listed, and some settings may also be out
of date.
• Pair a compatible mobile phone with your device. Your
device needs an external modem (phone), which is
connected to your device with Bluetooth wireless
technology.
This device is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0
supporting the following profiles: DUN (Dial-up
Networking Profile), FTP (File Transfer Profile) client only,
SAP (SIM Access Profile), HID (Human Interface Device
Profile), SPP (Serial Port Profile), and OPP (Object Push
Profile). To ensure interoperability between other devices
supporting Bluetooth technology, use Nokia approved
enhancements for this model. Check with the
manufacturers of other devices to determine their
compatibility with this device.
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in
some locations. Check with your local authorities or
service provider.
Features using Bluetooth technology, or allowing such
features to run in the background while using other
features, increase the demand on battery power and
reduce the battery life.
A Bluetooth connection does not require that the
compatible phone and the Nokia N800 be in line of sight,
but both devices should be within 10 meters (32 feet) of
each other. Connections can be subject to interference
from obstructions, such as walls or other electronic
devices.
Do not create connections to devices using Bluetooth
technology that you do not trust.

You can connect your device to a compatible PC with the
supplied Nokia Connectivity Cable DKE-2 (USB). Use the
USB data cable to transfer files to a compatible memory
card and to update the latest software on your device.
When the USB cable is connected, the memory card of
your Nokia N800 is listed as a mass storage device on your
PC, and is displayed on your device. To be able to
transfer files from the PC to the device, you must have a
compatible memory card installed in the device.
When the USB cable is connected, you cannot access the
information on the memory card with your device.
However, you can transfer files from your PC to the
memory card, and view the contents of the memory card
on your PC.
Important: Do not remove the USB cable in the
middle of an operation when the device is being
accessed. Removing the cable in the middle of
an operation may damage the memory card as
well as the device, and data stored may be
corrupted. When you are finished with file
transfer, do not just pull the USB cable from the
PC, but follow the proper procedures to
disconnect your device from the PC. For more
information, see the user guide of your PC.
Software update
To be able to update the software on your device, you
must first install the Nokia Internet Tablet Software
Update Wizard on your compatible PC. You must also
have the USB cable and a fully charged battery for your
device.
For more information on the software update, check
www.nokia.com/n800.
Tip: To check the version number of the current
software on your device, tap , and select
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The
battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times,
but it will eventually wear out. When the operating and
standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, replace
the battery. Use only Nokia approved batteries, and
recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers
designated for this device.
If a replacement battery is being used for the first time or
if the battery has not been used for a prolonged period, it
may be necessary to connect the charger, then disconnect
and reconnect it to begin charging the battery.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device
when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery
connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several
minutes before the charging indicator appears on the
display.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use
any charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental
short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as
a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look
like metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, 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 and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A
device with a hot or cold battery may not work
temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.
Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.
Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of
batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle
when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Do not dismantle or shred cells or batteries. In the event
of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in
contact with the skin or eyes. In the event of such a leak,
flush your skin or eyes immediately with water, or seek
medical help.
Nokia battery authentication
guidelines
Always use original Nokia batteries for your safety. To
check that you are getting an original Nokia battery,
purchase it from an authorized Nokia dealer, look for the
Nokia Original Enhancements logo on the packaging, and
inspect the hologram label using the following steps:
Successful completion of the four steps is not a total
assurance of the authenticity of the battery. If you have
any reason to believe that your battery is not an authentic,
original Nokia battery, you should refrain from using it,
and take it to the nearest authorized Nokia service point or
dealer for assistance. Your authorized Nokia service point
or dealer will inspect the battery for authenticity. If
authenticity cannot be verified, return the battery to the
place of purchase.
Authenticate hologram
1 When looking at the
hologram on the label, you
should see the Nokia
connecting hands symbol
from one angle and the
Nokia Original
Enhancements logo when
looking from another angle.
2 When you angle the
hologram left, right, down,
and up, you should see 1, 2,
3, and 4 dots on each side
respectively.
3 Scratch the side of the label
to reveal a 20-digit code, for
example,
12345678919876543210.
Turn the battery so that the
numbers are facing upwards.
The 20-digit code reads
starting from the number at
the top row followed by the
bottom row.
code is valid by following the
instructions at
www.nokia.com/
batterycheck.
To create a text message, enter
the 20-digit code, for example,
12345678919876543210, and
send to +44 7786 200276.
To create a text message,
• For countries in Asia Pacific, excluding India: Enter the
20-digit code, for example, 12345678919876543210,
and send to +61 427151515.
• For India only: Enter Battery followed by the 20-digit
battery code, for example, Battery
12345678919876543210, and send to 5555.
National and international operator charges will apply.
You should receive a message indicating whether the code
can be authenticated.
What if your battery is not authentic?
If you cannot confirm that your Nokia battery with the
hologram on the label is an authentic Nokia battery, please
do not use the battery. Take it to the nearest authorized
Nokia service point or dealer for assistance. The use of a
battery that is not approved by the manufacturer may be
dangerous and may result in poor performance and
damage to your device and its enhancements. It may also
invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the
device.
