Charge the battery

Check the model number of any charger before use with this device. This device is intended for use when supplied with power from the AC-3 or AC-4 charger.

Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and enhancements approved by Nokia for use with this particular model. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty, and may be dangerous.

For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When you disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

1. Connect the charger to a wall socket.

2. Connect the lead from the charger to the socket on the bottom of your device.

If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be made.

The charging time depends on the charger used. Charging a BL-4C battery with the AC-3 charger takes approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes while the device is in the standby mode.

* Be aware that the battery talk and standby times information is subject to change.

For more information, contact your service provider.

Battery talk and standby times are estimates only and depend on signal strength, network conditions, features used, battery age and condition, temperatures to which battery is exposed, use in digital mode, and many other factors. The amount of time a device is used for calls will affect its standby time. Likewise, the amount of time that the device is turned on and in the standby mode will affect its talk time.

Antenna

Your device has an internal antenna.

Note: As with any other radio transmitting device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the device is switched on. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the device to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed. To optimize antenna performance and battery life, avoid contact with the antenna area when operating the device.

Headset

Warning: Listen to music at a moderate level. Continuous exposure to high volume may damage your hearing. Pay special attention to volume level if you connect any other headsets to the device. 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. 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. 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.
