5 Important battery information • The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery. • Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time. • Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first. • Use the battery only for its intended purpose. • Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out. • Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip, or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery), for example when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object. • Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 59º F and 77º F (15º C and 25º C). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. NiMH batteries’ performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 14º F (-10º C). Li-Ion batteries’ performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 32º F (0º C). • Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! • Dispose of used batteries in accordance with any local regulations.

External antenna jack At the back of the phone, below the antenna, there is a con- nector for an external antenna. The connector may be pro- tected by a rubber cap. Remove the cap before connecting an external antenna. After removing the antenna, replace the cap. Note: Keep the cap out of the reach of small children.

8 Menu Your phone’s menu allows you to easily access the many powerful features in your phone. Scroll bar When you use your phone’s menu, a scroll bar appears at the far right of the screen.

Use this character to save phone numbers of automated services that require you to enter a password or other information after the call is answered. For example, if your voice mail number at work is 555-1212 and you need to enter your extension (1234) and then a password (5678) in order to listen to your messages, you could save this phone number as 5551212p1234p5678. w This character creates a wait. It works similarly to the pause character except that digits to the right of the w are not sent until you press Send.
13 Keyguard (locking the keypad) The Keyguard feature allows you to lock your phone’s keypad so that accidental keypresses have no effect. This is handy when your phone is in a pocket or purse.

However, one-touch emergency dialing (‘emergency key 9’) does not operate. • Keyguard is automatically turned off when the phone is connected to a car kit. • Keyguard menu is replaced by Prepaid menu when Prepaid is activated. Keyguard function is available.
14 4. Basic functions Turning the phone on or off Press and hold the key for one second. Note: If the phone asks for a lock code, see ‘Lock code’ on page 58. If the phone asks for a security code, see ‘Security code’ on page 58. WARNING! Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger. About the antenna Your Nokia phone has a fixed-length antenna. Do not attempt to extend or remove it. Normal position Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder. Tips on efficient operation As with any other radio transmitting device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed. Checking signal strength Your phone operates on radio waves. Radio signal coverage is maintained by a wireless network, and the quality of calls on your phone depends on the strength of the wireless radio signal.
