can create and change a code, and set the phone to request it. To create a 
security code, select Menu> Settings> Security> Access codes, and follow 
the instructions on the display.
 The PIN code, supplied with the SIM card, helps to protect the card against 
unauthorised use.
 The PIN2 code, supplied with some SIM cards, is required to access certain 
services.
 PUK and PUK2 codes may be supplied with the SIM card. If you enter the PIN or 
PIN2 code incorrectly three times in succession, you will be asked for the PUK 
or PUK2 code. If you do not have them, contact your local service provider.
 The barring password (4 digits) is required when using the Call barring service 
to restrict calls from your phone (network service).
 To view or change the security module settings, select Menu >Settings > 
Security > Security module sett.
■Software updates
Important: Use only services that you trust and that offer adequate security and 
protection against harmful software.
Nokia may produce software updates that may offer new features, enhanced functions, or 
improved performance. You may be able to request these updates through the Nokia 
Software Updater PC application. To update the device software, you need the Nokia 
Software Updater application and a compatible PC with Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP 
operating system, broadband internet access, and a compatible data cable to connect your 
device to the PC.
To get more information and to download the Nokia Software Updater application, visit 
www.nokia.com/softwareupdate or your local Nokia web site.
Downloading software updates may involve the transmission of large amounts of data 
through your service providers network. Contact your service provider for information about 
data transmission charges.
Make sure that the device battery has enough power, or connect the charger before starting 
the update.
During extended operation the device may feel warm. In most cases, this condition is 
normal. If you suspect the device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorised 
service facility.

■Install SIM card and battery 
Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
The SIM card and its contacts can easily be damaged by scratches or bending, so 
be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card.  The SIM card is 
inserted with the gold-coloured contact area on the card facing downwards (3).

■Charge the battery
 Charging the BL-6P battery with the AC-6 charger takes approximately 2 hours 
while the phone is in the standby mode. 
1. Connect the charger to a wall socket. 
2. Open the cover on the top of the phone (1) and 
connect the lead from the charger to the socket 
(2).
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take 
several minutes before the charging indicator 
appears on the display or before any calls can be 
made.
■CA-101 data cable
The CA-101 data cable is used for data transfer and slow charging the battery 
while connected to a PC or laptop.
You must download Nokia PC Suite 6.83 to use with your phone. Updated versions 
can be added after version 6.83. Go to www.nokia.com/support for more 
information.
1. Connect the lead from the CA-101 to the micro USB socket on the top of your 
phone.
2. Connect the CA-101 to your PC or laptop. Select USB mode: appears on the 
display screen of your phone.
3.  Select the mode you want.
The AC-6 charges the battery much faster than the CA-101. Charging with the 
AC-6 is recommended when short charging times are needed.
■Switch the phone on and off 
Warning: Do not switch the phone on when wireless phone use is prohibited or 
when it may cause interference or danger.

■Enhanced voice dialling
You can make a phone call by saying the name that is saved in the contact list of 
the phone.  To set a contact for the voice playback, select Menu> Settings> 
Phone> Voice recognition> Recognition lang., and follow the instructions on the 
display.
Before using voice tags, note the following:
 Voice tags are not language-dependent. They are dependent on the speakers voice.
 You must say the name exactly as you said it when you recorded it.
 Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record voice tags and use them in a quiet 
environment.
 Very short names are not accepted. Use long names, and avoid similar names for 
different numbers.
Note: Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy environment or during an 
emergency, so you should not rely solely upon voice dialling in all circumstances.
■Options during a call
Many of the options that you can use during a call are network services. For 
availability, contact your service provider.
Possible options that your service provider may offer include conference calls and 
placing calls on hold.
