Use the antenna
Your phone has a built-in antenna. As with any 
other radio transmitting device, avoid touching 
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. 
Not touching the antenna area during a phone 
call optimizes the antenna performance and the 
talk time of your phone.
Use the battery
CHARGE THE BATTERY
1Plug the charger into a standard ac outlet.
2Insert the charger output plug into 
the round connector at the bottom 
end of the phone.
After a few seconds, the battery 
indicator in the display starts to 
scroll from bottom to top. If the 
battery is completely empty, it may take a few minutes before the 
charging indicator appears on the display or any calls can be made.
Tip: You can use the phone while the charger is connected.
IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION
Important: Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
Use only batteries approved by Nokia and recharge your battery 
only with the chargers approved by Nokia. Never use any charger 
or battery which is damaged.
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. 
						

							[ 9 ]Welcome and quick guide
PROLONG THE BATTERY
Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from 
your battery:
 With your phone turned off, charge your new battery for three hours 
before its first use. Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Repeat 
this procedure twice for a total of three charging cycles.
 Note that the full performance of a new battery is achieved only after 
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. Battery operation 
times may be less than the estimated times during the first charges. 
This condition is normal.
 You can use your phone while the battery is charging. However, if the 
battery is completely empty, it may need to recharge a few minutes 
before you can make or receive calls or the battery indicator appears.
 After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the 
charging cycle, but the calls lengthen the charging time. When the 
phone call ends, the charge will resume.
 The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the 
phone is fully charged. If you leave the phone connected to the charger, 
the battery receives an additional charge. If you switch the phone on 
when charging is complete, the 
Battery full message momentarily 
appears in the display.
Note: The battery will accept a “trickle charge for an additional 
two hours.
REPLACE THE BATTERY
You will need to remove the existing battery if you want to replace the 
battery or insert the SIM card. Make sure the phone has been turned off 
for 10 seconds before removing the battery.
Note: Before removing the phone cover, always switch off the 
power and disconnect the phone from the charger or any other 
device. Always store and use the phone with the covers attached.

switched off and that you have removed the cover and battery.
Warning: Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.
