You may have settings from your service providers
already installed in your device, or you may receive or

request the settings from the network service
providers as a special message.

You can change the general settings in your device,
such as language, standby mode, display, and keypad
lock settings.

Access codes

If you forget any of the access codes, contact your
service provider.

● Personal identification number (PIN) code — This

code protects your SIM card against unauthorised
use. The PIN code (4 - 8 digits) is usually supplied
with the SIM card. After three consecutive incorrect
PIN code entries, the code is blocked, and you need
the PUK code to unblock it.

● UPIN code — This code may be supplied with the

USIM card. The USIM card is an enhanced version of
the SIM card and is supported by 3G mobile phones.

● PIN2 code — This code (4 - 8 digits) is supplied with

some SIM cards, and is required to access some
functions in your device.

● Lock code (also known as security code) — The lock

code helps you to protect your device against
unauthorised use. The preset code is 12345. You can
create and change the code, and set the device to
request the code. Keep the new code secret and in
a safe place separate from your device. If you forget
the code and your device is locked, your device will

11

require service. Additional charges may apply, and
all the personal data in your device may be deleted.
For more information, contact a Nokia Care Centre
or your device dealer.

● Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) code and PUK2

code — These codes (8 digits) are required to
change a blocked PIN code or PIN2 code,
respectively. If the codes are not supplied with the
SIM card, contact the network service provider
whose SIM card is in your device.

● UPUK code — This code (8 digits) is required to

change a blocked UPIN code. If the code is not
supplied with the USIM card, contact the network
service provider whose USIM card is in your device.

● International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI)

number — This number (15 or 17 digits) is used to
identify valid devices on the GSM network. Devices
that are, for example, stolen, can be blocked from
accessing the network. The IMEI number for your
device can be found under the battery.

Remote lock

To prevent unauthorised use of your device, you can
lock your device and memory card remotely using a

Prolong battery life

Many features in your device increase the demand on
battery power and reduce the battery lifetime. To save
battery power, note the following:

● Features that use Bluetooth technology, or allowing

such features to run in the background while using
other features, increase the demand on battery
power. Deactivate Bluetooth technology when you
do not need it.

● Features that use wireless LAN (WLAN), or allowing

such features to run in the background while using
other features, increase the demand on battery
power. WLAN on your Nokia device deactivates
when you are not trying to connect, not connected
to an access point, or not scanning for available
networks. To further reduce battery consumption,
you can specify that your device does not scan, or
scans less often, for available networks in the
background.

12

Find help

● If you have set Packet data connection to When

available in connection settings, and there is no

packet data coverage (GPRS), the device periodically
tries to establish a packet data connection. To
prolong the operating time of your device, select

Packet data connection > When needed.

● The Maps application downloads new map

information when you scroll to new areas on the
map, which increases the demand on battery power.
You can prevent the automatic download of new
maps.

● If the signal strength of the cellular network varies

much in your area, your device must scan for the
available network repeatedly. This increases the
demand on battery power.

If the network mode is set to dual mode in the
network settings, the device searches for the 3G
network. You can set the device to use only the GSM
network. To use only the GSM network, select

Menu > Settings and Connectivity > Network >
Network mode > GSM.

● The backlight of the display increases the demand

on battery power. In the display settings, you can
change the length of the time-out period after
which the backlight is switched off. Select Menu >

Settings and Phone > Display > Light time­out. To adjust the light sensor that observes lighting

conditions and adjusts the display brightness, in the
display settings, select Light sensor.

● Leaving applications running in the background

increases the demand on battery power. To close
the applications you are not using, if they are not
responding, select Options > Show open apps.,
and go to the application using the menu key. Press
and hold the menu key to open the application, and
select Options > Exit.

types, select Menu > Applications > Office > File

mgr..

Many features of the device use memory to store data.
The device notifies you if the memory in different
memory locations is low.

To free memory, transfer data to a compatible memory
card (if available) or to a compatible computer.

To remove data you no longer need, use File manager
or open the respective application. You can remove the
following:

● Messages in the folders in Messaging and retrieved

e-mail messages in the mailbox
