1. For your safety

Read these simple guidelines before using your phone.

Failure to comply with these guidelines may be dangerous

or illegal.

Road Safety Comes First

Don’t use a hand-held phone while driving; park the

vehicle first.

Switch Off In Hospitals

Follow any regulations or rules. Switch phone off near

medical equipment.

Switch Off On Aircraft

Wireless phones can cause interference. Using them on

aircraft is illegal.

Switch Off When Refueling

Don’t use phone at a refueling point. Don’t use near fuel or

chemicals.

Switch Off Near Blasting

Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress.

Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.

Interference

All wireless phones may get interference which could

affect performance.

Use Sensibly

Use only in the normal position (to ear). Don’t touch the

antenna unnecessarily.

Qualified Service

Only qualified service personnel must install or repair

equipment.

Accessories and Batteries

Use only approved accessories and batteries. Do not

connect incompatible products.

FCC/Industry Canada Notice

Your phone may cause TV or radio interference (for example,

when using a telephone in close proximity to receiving

equipment). The FCC or Industry Canada can require you to

stop using your telephone if such interference cannot be

eliminated. If you require assistance, contact your local

service facility.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation

is subject to the condition that this device does not cause

harmful interference.

Using this Guide

The wireless phone described in this guide is approved for

use in CDMA 1900 networks.

Network services

A number of features included in this guide are called network

services. They are special services provided by wireless service

providers. Before you can take advantage of any of these

network services, you must subscribe to the service(s) from your

home service provider and obtain instructions for their use.

Updates

The latest version of this Owner’s Manual may be found on

Nokia’s World Wide Web site at www.nokiaUSA.com.

2. Battery installation and

charging

Before you can use your new phone, you need to attach and

charge the battery.

Attaching the battery

To attach the battery, place it

on the back of the phone as

shown and slide it toward the

top of the phone until it clicks

into place.

Battery charging

Several rechargeable batteries are available for use in your

phone. Note that a new NiMH battery’s full performance is

achieved only after two or three complete charge and

discharge cycles (see “Charging times” on page 71).

How to charge your battery

Connect the lead from the charger to the bottom of your

phone or to a charging stand. Then plug the charger into a

standard wall outlet.

When the battery is charging, the battery strength indicator

on the right side of the screen scrolls upwards.

Note: When you charge the battery for the first time, the

battery strength indicator will not scroll the entire time; this

is normal.
