Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this manual. Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

INTERFERENCE

All wireless phones may get interference, which could affect performance.

SWITCH OFF IN HOSPITALS

Follow any regulations or rules. Switch the phone off near medical equipment.

Slide the cover down until it clicks.

Charge the battery

Follow these guidelines to optimize your batterys performance. 1 With your phone turned off, connect the charger plug to the bottom of the phone. Connect the charger to an ac wall outlet. The battery indicator bar appears on the screen and starts to scroll from bottom to top after a few seconds. It will remain constant when the phone is fully charged.

Battery strength

[ 11 ]
Disconnect the charger from the phone and ac outlet when the battery is fully charged. After the indicator bar stops scrolling, you can leave the charger connected and the battery will accept a trickle charge to maintain a fully charged battery. See Reference information on page 117 for more information on batteries. Note: Charge the new battery for three hours before using. Use the battery until it is fully discharged. You should do this for a total of three charging cycles. After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the charging cycle, but the calls interrupt the charge. When a call ends, the charge will resume. The charging time depends on the charger and battery you use.

Do not puncture, burn, or use any objects that may damage the phone or the battery. Please recycle the battery or dispose of properly.
IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION
Recharge your battery only with a charger approved by Nokia. You can switch the phone on and use it for calls while the battery is charging. [ 12 ]
Review the basics If the battery is totally empty, it may take a few seconds for the battery indicator to appear on the screen. If you are still connected to the charger and you switch the phone on when charging is complete, the screen momentarily shows Battery full. The BLC-2 battery does not need to be fully discharged before recharging. Charging time depends on the charger and battery used. See Battery on page 126 for charging, talk, and standby times.

USE PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfill any warranty obligations and to enjoy this product for many years: Keep the phone and all its parts and enhancements out of the reach of small children. Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts can be damaged. Do not store the phone in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics. Do not store the phone in cold areas. When it warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form inside which may damage electronic circuit boards. Do not attempt to open the phone. Nonexempt handling may damage it. Do not drop, knock, or shake the phone. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the phone. Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation. Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate regulations governing radio devices. All of the above suggestions apply equally to your phone, battery, charger or any enhancement. If any of them are not working properly, take them to your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service. [ 118 ]
UNDERSTAND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Traffic Safety
Do not use a handheld telephone while driving a vehicle. 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. 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. Use the phone only in its normal operating positions.

Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 - 8 inches (15 - 20 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers: Should always keep the phone more than 6 - 8 inches (15 - 20 cm) from their pacemaker when the phone is switched on Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your phone immediately.

[ 119 ]

Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider.

Other medical devices

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 to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your phone in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel injection systems, electronic untested/antilock braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag systems). Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted facilities

Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refueling point (service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress.
