Install SIM card and battery

Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery.

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

See "Nokia battery authentication guidelines", p. 51.

The SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card.

1. Press the release button to lift the back cover, and remove it. Remove the battery.

2. Open the SIM card holder, and insert the SIM card with the contact surface facing down into the holder. Close the SIM card holder.

3. Observe the battery contacts, and insert the battery. Replace the back cover.

Insert a memory card

Use only compatible microSD cards approved by Nokia for use with this device. Nokia uses approved industry standards for memory cards, but some brands may not be fully compatible with this device. Incompatible cards may damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.

Your phone supports microSD cards of up to 2 GB.

1. Remove the back cover.

2. Insert the memory card into the memory card slot with the contact surface facing down, and press it until it locks into place.

3. Replace the back cover.

Remove the memory card

Important: Do not remove the memory card in the middle of an operation when the card is being accessed. Removing the card in the middle of an operation may damage the memory card as well as the device, and data stored on the card may be corrupted.

You can remove or replace the memory card during phone operation without switching the device off.

1. Ensure that no application is currently accessing the memory card.

2. Remove the back cover.

3. Press the memory card slightly in to release the lock, and remove it.

Charge the battery

Your battery has been precharged, but the charging levels may vary.

1. Connect the charger to a wall outlet.

2. Connect the charger to the device.

3. When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger from the device, then from the wall outlet.

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-4S battery with the AC-3 charger takes approximately 3 hours while the phone is in the standby mode.

Antenna

Your device may have internal and external antennas. As with any radio transmitting device, avoid touching the antenna area unnecessarily while the antenna is transmitting or receiving.

Contact with such an antenna affects the communication quality and may cause the device to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed and may reduce the battery life.

The figure shows the antenna area marked in grey.

Headset

Warning: Listen to music at a moderate level. Continuous exposure to high volume may damage your hearing. Do not hold the device near your ear when the loudspeaker is in use, because the volume may be extremely loud. 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. 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. 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.

2. Hook a strap behind the clamp, and close the back cover.
