 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle.
If using a hand-held phone park the vehicle before
conversing.
Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place the
phone on the passenger seat or where it can break loose in
a collision or sudden stop.
The use of the alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or
horn on public roads is not permitted.
Remember, road safety always comes first!
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any
area and always switch off your phone whenever it is
forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or
danger.
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including
cellular phones, may interfere with the functionality of
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a
physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if you
have any questions. Other electronic equipment may also
be subject to interference.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users
are advised that for the satisfactory operation of the
equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be used in
the normal operating position.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a
refuelling point. Users are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots,
chemical plants or where blasting operations are in
progress.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive
materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts
or accessories.
Only authorized personnel should install or service the
phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate the warranty.

1
Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid
braking systems, electronic cruise control systems and
other electronic systems can malfunction due to the lack of
protection from radio signals. Check regularly that all
cellular phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.
Switch off your cellular phone when in an aircraft. The use
of cellular telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to
the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network
and is illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to
suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the
offender, or legal action or both.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any cellular phone, operates using radio
signals, cellular and landline networks, and user-
programmed functions which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never
rely solely upon any cellular phone for essential
communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Locking the phone or restricting calls do not prevent
making emergency calls with the phone. If the ALPHA
indicator is shown on the display, you must clear it by
pressing the ALPHA key. If there are any characters on the
display, clear them with the CLR key. Otherwise simply key
in 911 (or other official, programmed emergency number)
and press the SEND key.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular phone
networks or when certain network services are in use.
Check with local cellular service providers.
Note that in uneven terrain or close to large buildings the
operating range of the base stations can be limited
affecting the connection. When making an emergency call,
remember to give the location of the emergency, as
accurately as possible. Remember that your cellular phone
may be the only means of communication at the scene of
an accident – do not cut off the call until given permission
to do so.

2
 FUSE REPLACEMENT

The cigarette lighter charger (LCH-2) contains a protective

fuse. The fuse is located in the charger tip. If the charger
does not work, the fuse may be blown. If blown, replace it
with a 3.0 amp, 125 volt fuse. Never use a fuse with a
higher rating.
Regulations

FCC/Industry Canada Notice

Your phone may cause TV or radio interference (e.g. when

using telephone in close proximity of receiving equipment).
The FCC/Industry Canada can require you to stop using
your telephone if such interference cannot be eliminated. If
you require assistance, contact your local dealer.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the condition that this device does
not cause harmful interference.

 GETTING STARTED

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.

TO ACHIEVE FULL BATTERY CAPACITY,

NEW BATTERIES MUST BE CHARGED
STOP WITH THE PHONE OFF FOR AT LEAST
24 HOURS BEFORE INITIAL USE.

If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in

about a month. Store batteries uncharged in a cool, dark,
and dry place.
The battery pack is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts
inside. Do not attempt to open the case.
WARNING: Use only Nokia-approved batteries,
antennae and chargers. The use of any other types will
invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the
telephone, and may be dangerous.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BATERY

To Install the Battery:

1) Insert the bottom of the battery
into the base of the phone.
2) Fasten it to the phone by
pressing slightly down-
wards on the battery and
in at the top until the locking
catch snaps into place.
3) Make sure the battery is
properly installed.
To Remove the Battery:
Remember to switch the power off before removing the
battery.
1) Depress the locking catch at the top of the battery and
gently pull it away from the phone.

 THE BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR

The bars on the right hand side of A

the display screen indicate the
battery charge level. The more bars,
the higher the battery charge. When S B
ON IN USE
the battery charge falls to less than
10%, the phone displays a warning message: BATTERY
LOW, and an audible “beep” will be heard.
It will be repeated every 5 minutes if the phone is in
standby mode and every minute if the phone is in use.
When the battery is fully discharged, A
the message RECHARGE
BATTERY is displayed and you
will hear three short “beeps”. S B
ON IN USE
The message will remain on the
display for 10 seconds before the phone switches itself off.

CHARGING AND RECHARGING THE BATTERY

1) Plug the AC charger into
a standard 110V AC outlet.
2) Connect the lead from the
charger to the bottom of the
phone. (A short “beep” will
sound to indicate charging is in
progress.)
3) When the phone is switched
on, the battery charge indicator
will scroll the bars on the right
hand side of the display screen.
When the battery is fully
charged, the scrolling will stop
and all the bars are displayed.
Detailed information on a
variety of available Battery
Chargers is included in the
‘Accessories Section’.
A new battery must be fully charged before being used
for the first time.
You can use the phone during recharging, but the charging
process will be interrupted for the duration of the call.

6
Batteries last longer and perform better if allowed to
discharge fully at least once a week. You can do this by
leaving the phone switched on overnight, or until the
message RECHARGE BATTERY is displayed and the
phone shuts itself off.
NOTE: If the battery is too hot or cold, charging will be
interrupted until the battery reaches a normal
temperature.

are still sent even though you cannot hear them.

ROAMING

Each cellular service area can have two cellular service

suppliers called carriers. One carrier is called the ‘non-
wireline’ or ‘A’ system and the other carrier is called the
‘wireline’ or ‘B’ system. Your phone is designed to work with
either or both carriers.
The system priority feature allows you to program your phone
for optimum operation when in your home serving area or
when away from your home area. This is called roaming.
When you buy your phone, you may register (receive a
phone number) with either or both of your local carriers.
Contact the office of your home cellular phone company for
information about the roaming agreements they have with
other cellular phone companies.
In some areas, roaming telephones are automatically
recognized by the cellular system’s computer. In other
areas, you must contact the cellular phone operator before
it can recognize your phone. The company needs to know
your telephone number, your phone’s ESN (electronic
serial number), and how you plan to pay for your calls.
There is usually an additional charge for roaming calls.
Note: The ESN for your mobile phone is located in the
battery compartment of the phone.
To Select the Roaming Mode:
1) Press MENU 1. OR Press MENU, then press v or V keys
until SYSTEM SELECT appears. Press STO.
