Important: This device is designed to be used with a standard SIM card (see figure)

that has a mini-UICC cutout.

This phone is intended for use with a BL-4U battery. Always use original Nokia batteries.

The SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or bending, so be

the back cover. If the battery is inserted, lift the battery out.

2 Slide the SIM card holder to unlock it, and use your fingernail to lift it.

3 Make sure the contact area of the SIM card is facing down, and place the card in the

holder. Slide the card holder to lock it

6Getstarted

4 Line up the contacts of the battery and the battery compartment, and insert the

battery. To replace the back cover, direct the bottom locking catches toward their

slots (1), and press the cover, until it locks into place (2).

Insert a memory card

Use only compatible memory cards approved by Nokia for use with this device.

Incompatible cards may damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the

card.

Your phone supports memory cards with a capacity of up to 32 GB.

Get started 7

1 Remove the back cover.

2 Make sure the contact area of the card is facing down. Push the card in, until it locks

into place.

3 Replace the back cover.

Remove the memory card

Important: Do not remove the memory card when an application is using it. Doing

1 Remove the back cover.

2 Push the card in, until it is released, and pull the card out.

3 Replace the back cover.

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:

8Getstarted

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. During charging, the phone may feel warm.

If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the charging

indicator is displayed or before any calls can be made.

If the battery has not been used for a long time, to begin charging, you may need to

connect the charger, then disconnect and reconnect it.

Charging the phone while listening to the radio may affect the quality of reception.

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.

Antenna locations

Avoid touching the antenna area while the antenna is in use. Contact with antennas

during operation.
