2. Getting Connected
This section will help you understand the ins and outs of 
charging and using your battery.
Attaching your battery
Simply place the battery 
in the grooves on the 
back of your phone. Then 
slide the battery upward 
until it clicks.
Note: Use only those 
batteries approved 
by the phone 
manufacturer and 
recharge your 
battery only with the chargers approved by the 
manufacturer. 
See “Important Battery Information” on page 9.
Charging your new battery
Your phone can be used with either a rechargeable Li-Ion 
or NiMH battery. Note that a new battery’s full 
performance is achieved only after two or three complete 
charge and discharge cycles.
With your phone powered 
on or off, connect the lead 
from the charger to the 
bottom of your phone. 
You can also place your 
phone on the charging 
stand (with the stand 
connected to a standard 
120V AC outlet via either the ACP-7U or ACP-9U AC/DC 
adaptors).
When the battery begins charging, your phone will beep 
once and the battery strength indicator on the right side 
of the display will begin to scroll after a few seconds.

6180i Phase A 8
11/6/00  2:00pm
If your phone displays Not charging, charging is 
suspended. Check that the battery is connected only to an 
approved charging device. If the battery is very hot or 
cold, wait for a while; charging will automatically resume 
after the battery is restored to its normal operating 
temperature. If charging still fails, contact your dealer. 
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. 
Important: If left unused, a fully charged battery will 
discharge itself over time.
When is a good time to charge?
Actually, you can charge anytime. If you have a NiMH 
battery, you should allow it to completely discharge once 
in a while.
When your phone beeps once and displays Battery low, 
you only have a couple of minutes of talk time remaining. 
The repetition rate of these battery-low warnings depend 
on the remaining battery capacity and the battery 
condition. These warnings are more frequent when you’re 
in a call.
Note:  The phone will not give you the warning tone under certain 
conditions. See “Warning and game tones” on page 87.
Once all the power has drained from your battery, you’ll 
hear three beeps with the message Recharge battery on 
your display. At this point, your phone will switch itself 
off and you’ll need to recharge your battery.
When is charging complete?
When the charge indicators stop scrolling, your 
phone is considered fully charged. However, a 
slight increase in charge may occur if your phone 
is left connected to the charger for a couple more 
hours. This is called “trickle charge” or 
“maintenance charge.”

6180i Phase A 9
11/6/00  2:00pm
Charging times depend on the type of battery and 
charger used. 
For approximate charging and operating times, see “Batteries” on 
page 105.
Can you make calls while charging?
Yes, you can. But your battery may not charge while a call 
is in progress (depending on which charger you are 
using). Charging should resume once you end the call. 
See "Chargers and other accessories" on page 106 for more 
information.
Discharging NiMH batteries
A NiMH battery lasts longer and performs better if you 
fully discharge it from time to time. To discharge the 
battery, leave your phone switched on until the battery is 
drained. The phone will display several messages that the 
battery is low and that you need to recharge it; just 
ignore them. 
You can also use the battery discharge feature of any 
approved accessory available for your phone. Do not 
attempt to discharge the battery by any means other 
than those just described.
Removing the battery
Note:  Switch off the phone before removing the battery!
1. Press and hold the 
button at the top 
of the battery.
2. Slide the battery 
toward the bot-
tom of the phone.
3. Lift the battery off 
the phone.
Important Battery Information
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of 

6180i Phase A 10
11/6/00  2:00pm
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.
• (NiMH batteries only) For optimal operation, discharge the 
battery from time to time by leaving your phone switched 
on until it turns itself off. You can also use the battery 
discharge feature of any approved accessory available for 
your phone. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by 
any other means.
• 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.
Cool Features
All the features in your phone are cool. It’s just that some 

6180i Phase A 11
11/6/00  2:00pm
are cooler than others!
For example, did you know that you can lock the keys on 
your phone to prevent accidental key presses and phone 
calls? Or that you can call someone with the touch of a 
single button? You can also stop your phone from ringing 
without even answering the call.
These are just some of the many Cool Features you’ll find 
in your phone. Look for the icon throughout this 
owner’s manual to find them.

3. Using Your Phone
The first few days you have your phone, play with it to 
learn how the menu and submenu system works. The 
more you learn how to access these menus and 
submenus, the more fun you’ll have with your phone.
This section describes the different methods of using your 
phone menus and submenus. 
What is the ‘start screen’?
The start screen appears when you first turn your phone 
on, in its idle state.
Anytime you want to get to the start screen, press  , 
except during a call (unless you want to hang up).
CAUTION: If you press   when the phone is 
requesting input (for example, a setting, phone number, 
name, etc.), the phone displays the start screen and the 
input is not saved.
Navigating tools
Softkeys
Your phone has two softkeys that 
appear below the display. Their 
current function is indicated by the 
words appearing above them. 
Simply press the corresponding key 
under the choice you wish to select.
This illustration shows the phone at the start screen. The 
start screen displays Menu on the left and Names on the 
right. Menu allows you to access your phone’s menus and 
submenus. Names allows you to access your phone book. 
Note:  See “Using Shortcuts” on page 14 and “Phone book” on 
page 64.
Scroll key 
Use the scroll key to navigate through your phone’s 

6180i Phase A 13
11/6/00  2:00pm
menus and submenus. You can also use it to scroll 
through names and numbers in your phone book.
Also, when editing names and numbers (for example, 
numbers in your phone book), you may notice a cursor 
flashing within the name or number. Pressing the scroll 
key up or down moves the cursor within the text, 
allowing you to insert letters, numbers, or special 
characters via the keypad.
Note: See “Entering text and numbers” on page 42 for more 
details.
Scroll bar
When you access your phone’s menu and 
submenus, you will notice a scroll bar at the far 
right of the screen. This bar indicates where you 
are in the menu structure; each “tab” on the bar 
represents a different menu item.
For example, press Menu once. The scroll bar appears 
with the first (top) tab displayed. A different tab appears 
each time you press or to move up and down 
through the menu structure. The scroll bar works the 
same way with submenus.
Scrolling through the main menu
At the start screen, press Menu. Then scroll to the desired 
menu item.
Press Select, Options or OK (whichever appears) to enter 
submenus and to choose options.
Press Exit or Quit to exit the present menu or Back to go 
back one level.
Tip:  Pressing the   key returns you to the start 
screen.
Menu and submenu numbering
When you scroll to a menu or submenu, the menu 
number and/or submenu number appears on the display 
above the scroll bar. If you become familiar with these 

6180i Phase A 14
11/6/00  2:00pm
numbers, you can use them as shortcuts for accessing 
different menus.
For example, when you scroll to Menu 2 (Call log) the 
number 2 appears in the top right-hand corner of the 
display. If you scroll to Menu 4 (Settings), submenu 3 
(Security settings), your phone will display 4-3 in the 
top right-hand corner.
Note: See “Summary of Menu Items and Shortcuts” on page 15 
for a list of your phone’s features along with their menu 
locations.
Also, see “Using Shortcuts” on page 14.
Using Shortcuts
Now that you know about shortcuts, use them as a quick 
and easy way to access a menu without having to scroll 
through other menus. For example, to display the Dialed 
calls menu (shortcut 2-3), press Menu  .
Note:  When entering a shortcut that begins with “1”, you must 
first press   followed by “1” and any other number(s). 
For example, to display the Inbox menu (0-1-1-2), press 
Menu      .
When entering a shortcut, don’t wait more than a 
moment between each key press.
For a summary of your phone’s menu structure, see “Summary of 
Menu Items and Shortcuts” on page 15.
Help Text
If you’re not sure how a feature works, wait just a few 
seconds and help text will automatically appear for most 
of your phone’s features. Press More to see the next page 
of the text or Back to exit the help text. After a while, the 
help text will disappear by itself.

4. The Basics
You have purchased a powerful phone, with lots of 
features. Read this section for some very basic 
information on how to use your phone.
A more comprehensive description of your phone is 
covered in “Your Phone A to Z” starting on page 22.
Switching the phone on and off
Press and hold the   key for two seconds to switch the 
phone on or off.
Switching off with the   key
Quickly press the   key (Switch off! will appear, 
highlighted) then press OK.
Warning:  Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is 
prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
Note: See “Safety At A Glance” on page 5 for more information.
Getting a strong signal
For best results, fully extend the antenna. Your phone 
operates on radio waves, and the quality of radio 
reception depends on the strength of the radio signal in 
your area. This radio coverage is maintained by a wireless 
network and the quality of calls on a wireless phone 
depends on the strength of the wireless radio signal.
Note:  TIP 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.
If your phone does not detect service at power up, the 
message Searching for service will be displayed.
The phone will continue to search for available service for 
15 minutes, at which time it will display No service if 
none is found. The phone will periodically continue to 
search for service.

6180i Phase A 19
11/6/00  2:00pm
Note:  The phone will not work in analog mode while searching for 
digital service.
Checking signal strength
When at the start screen (see page 14) or in a 
call, the strength of the radio signal is 
indicated by the signal indicators on the left 
side of your phone’s display. These indicators 
will move up as the strength of the signal 
increases and down as it decreases.
Increasing your phone’s signal may be easy. Try moving 
your phone slightly, or move towards a window if you’re 
calling from inside a building.
Making a call
Your cellular phone does not have a dial tone. Simply 
enter the phone number (including area code, as needed) 
and press  . Hold the phone as you would any other 
telephone, with the antenna pointed up and over your 
shoulder.
Editing a number on display
If you make a mistake while entering a number to dial, 
press to move the cursor to the left and to move it 
to the right. To delete the character to the left of the 
cursor, press Clear. To delete all characters, press and 
hold Clear.
Dialing a phone number stored in the phone book
View stored names and numbers by pressing or  
from the start screen (see page 12), then press 
Calling card calls

be switched on and in a service area with adequate 
cellular signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular phone 
networks or when certain network services and/or phone 
features are in use. Check with local cellular service 
providers.

Minibrowser
Note:  This feature is available only if your service provider's

additional service. For more information, contact your 
service provider.
About the Minibrowser
Warning:  Your phone must be switched on to use the Minibrowser. 
Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is 
prohibited.
Warning:  Emergency Key 9 is disabled while you are in a 
Minibrowser session.
The Minibrowser lets you browse the internet for 
information such as stock quotes and weather. Browsing 
via the phone is not like browsing using a PC. Site 
providers usually present only the critical aspects of their 
site to wireless phone users, so they have removed most 
graphics.
When you start the Minibrowser and connect to a 
network, two icons appear in the display:
Minibrowser icon (you are in a Minibrowser 
session)
Active call icon (you are being billed accordingly)
After a certain period of inactivity, the Minibrowser 
disconnects from the network. For this reason, you may 
find that you are billed for several network connections 

6180i Phase A 54
11/6/00  2:00pm
within a single session. This is normal and is designed to 
minimize your bill. Rates will vary according to your 
billing plan. 
When the Minibrowser disconnects from the network, 
the active call icon ( ) disappears, but the 
Minibrowser icon ( ) remains. While you are in the 
Minibrowser you can still access pages stored in memory 
without being connected to the Internet. However, if you 
navigate to a page that is not stored in memory, a new 
Minibrowser session begins and you'll be billed 
accordingly.
Launching the Minibrowser
The first time you launch the Minibrowser, you go 
through a security setup process that takes 3 to 5 
minutes (follow the on-screen prompts).
1. From the start screen, press Menu, then scroll to 
Minibrowser. The following message appears to re-
mind you that you may be billed for the connection 
time. (You can disable this message. See ‘Disable 
Minibrowser confirmations’ on page 57.)
Browsing may
incur charges.
Continue?

you’re using as your home system (see “System selection” on 
page 78). The first phone number displayed with this menu 
is the currently selected number.

Send own caller ID with next call 
In most service areas, when you call someone, their caller 
ID system allows them to see your name and phone 
number. Your phone is set to automatically allow this 
information to be seen. Before you make a call, you can 
choose to prevent this information from being seen. This 
is sometimes referred to as “blocking caller ID”.
Warning:  While roaming, you may not be able to block caller ID.
Note:  Before you can activate this feature, you should first store 
the feature code given to you by your service provider. 
Otherwise, this feature may not appear in the menu or 
function properly. Check with your service provider to 
confirm if the feature code has been pre-programmed for 
you. See “Network feature setting” on page 61 for more 
details.
This feature works on a per-call basis, so you must 
perform this procedure before each call that you make in 
order to block caller ID for that call.

Your phone supports synchronization of its phone book 
with many popular Personal Information Manager (PIM) 
programs (for example, Lotus Organizer, Microsoft 
Outlook, Symantec ACT!) by using 3rd party software.
Synchronization of contacts and phone numbers between 
your phone and PC will also require the optional DAU-9P 
serial cable. Check with your local Nokia dealer for the 
availability of these products.
System selection
About selecting a system
The System menu (Menu 5) allows you to customize the 
way your phone chooses a system in which to operate 
while you are “roaming” (using your phone outside of 
your primary or “home” system). Your choice of a system 
affects the type and amount of charges you incur. By 
default, your phone is set to automatically search for the 
most cost-effective system while roaming. If your phone 
can’t find a preferred system, it uses a system based on 
the option you choose in the System menu.
Note:  Before selecting an item in the System menu, contact your 

6180i Phase A 79
11/6/00  2:00pm
service provider to find out how your selection will affect 
your service charges.
Roaming
Roaming is the condition of using your phone outside of 
its home area. While roaming, another service provider’s 
system handles your call, so the service rate for the call is 
usually greater than the rate for calls made within your 
home area. While roaming, the word Roaming and the 
roaming indicator ( ) appear on the start screen.
Note:  In some systems, you may need to have a roaming 
agreement in order to place a call. If no roaming agreement 
has been arranged, a network operator may interrupt and 
request information on how you intend to pay for the call. 
Service Types
In each wireless service area there are usually two service 
providers referred to as type A and type B. When you first 
set up your wireless service account, your service provider 
will inform you of which system you will be using (usually 
type B). This is your home system. The other system (for 
example, type A) is known as a non home-type system.
System choices
Note:  If you have more than one phone number (NAM), your 
choice affects only the currently selected NAM. See ‘NAM 
selection’ on page 59.
Note:  System choices may differ according to service provider.
•Home only - Your phone cannot roam. This means 
you can make and receive calls in your home area 
only. While roaming, No Service appears and you will 
not be able to make or receive calls.
•Automatic A - Your phone searches for system A. If 
system A is not available, it searches for an available 
analog system.
•Automatic B - For most service providers, this is the 
default selection. Your phone searches for system B. If 
system B is not available, it searches for an available 
analog system.
6180i Phase A 80
11/6/00  2:00pm
•Analog - Your phone searches for an available analog 
system. If an analog system is not available, No 
Service appears. While Analog is selected, if you 
power your phone off and back on, your phone will 
automatically be reset to Automatic B.
Text messaging
See ‘Receiving mobile messages’ on page 89 and ‘Sending 
mobile messages’ on page 92.
Touch tone length 
This feature determines the length of each touch tone 
when they are sent automatically.
Short sets the tone length to .1 second. Long sets the 
tone length to .5 second. 
You can set the touch tone length by pressing Menu 
4-2-3-2 (Settings - Phone settings - Touch tones - 
Touch tone length).
Touch tones 
Your phone can generate various sounds, called touch 
tones, when the keys are pressed. These are also known 
as DTMF tones.
Touch tones can be used for many automated, over-the-
phone services such as checking bank balances, airline 
arrival and departure times, and using voice mailbox 
options. Touch tones can be sent only during an active 
voice call. 
Storing touch tone strings
Store touch tone strings the same way you store phone 
numbers (see page 64).
You can store a whole digit sequence in your phone book 
and send it as touch tones for frequently-used strings of 
numbers.
6180i Phase A 81

box password)
4. Store the number as you normally would
Note: See “Special Characters (for storing and calling numbers)” 
on page 44 for details on “p” and “w” characters.
When you dial this number, your phone first dials the 
phone number, then waits (because of the “w” character) 
for you to press Send. Your phone then sends your 
password. 
If you include a “p” character instead of a “w”, your phone 
pauses for 2.5 seconds, then automatically sends your 
password as touch tones.

6180i Phase A 83
11/6/00  2:00pm
have chosen the Ring once option for the profile you’re 
using, the vibrating alert will only vibrate once  when your 
phone rings.
Voice mailbox number 
This number dials your voice mailbox. 
Note: See “Voice messages” in next section.
Voice messages 
Voice mail is a network service that may require a 
subscription from your service provider. 
Once everything is set up for your voice mailbox (see next 
page), your phone will notify you when you receive a voice 
message. 
New voice message will appear on the display along with 
the   icon, and you’ll hear a short beep. Your phone 
will display the number of voice messages if you’ve 
received more than one.
Setting up your voice mailbox
Before you can retrieve any voice messages, you need to 
store your voice mailbox number. Your service provider 
usually gives this number to you. 
When you’re ready to store your voice mailbox number, 
press Menu 0-1-2-2 (Messages - Voice messages - 
Voice mailbox number). Then enter your voice mailbox 
phone number and press OK. This number can be up to 32 
digits long and is used until it’s changed. So if your phone 
number changes, you may need to change your voice 
mailbox number along with it.
Note: Some service providers automatically pre-program this 
number into your phone. You will only be able to view (and 
not change) this number.
Greetings, passwords, and prompts
These may vary in different wireless systems. So if you 
need information about how to record your greeting or 

6180i Phase A 84
11/6/00  2:00pm
how to store your password, contact your service 
provider. You’ll also need to contact them on how to 
listen to voice messages once you’re connected to your 
voice mailbox.
Listening to your voice messages
If New voice message is displayed, just press Listen and 
follow the prompts. If you’d rather listen to your 
messages later, press Exit.
You can listen to messages anytime if you press and hold 
the 1 key (or press 1, then  ). Calling voice mailbox 
will appear on the display. Or if you prefer, you can access 
your voice mailbox by pressing Menu 0-1-2-1 (Messages 
- Voice messages - Listen to voice messages).
Voice message notification
A caller who leaves you a voice message can specify a 
message priority level if the network supports this 
feature:
•New voice message -  This is a normal priority 
message; it can be sent by anyone.
•Urgent voice mail -  The person who sends this kind 
of message is requesting an immediate reply. This kind 
of message can be sent by anyone.
•Emergency voice mail -  This kind of message can be 
sent only by a network operator or person in authority 
when life of property is threatened.
New voice message notifications overwrite older ones, 
regardless of priority level. For example, if Emergency 
voice mail is displayed and you receive a new voice 
message of normal priority, the emergency message 
notification will disappear and the New voice message 
notification will be displayed.
Clearing the voice message icon
In most networks, the voice message icon will 
automatically be cleared a few seconds after listening to 
your last new message. If the network in which you are 
6180i Phase A 85

using your phone supports mobile messaging.
About mobile messages
You can receive a message in the form of text that 
appears on your phone’s screen. Messages are managed 
by your service provider’s message center. The person 
who sends you a message usually sends it via another 
phone (one which allows the user to send and receive 
mobile messages) or through email on the internet.
A message consists of a header and a body. The header 
may contain the sender’s address and the date that the 
message was sent. The body contains the main part of the 
message. If you receive a message that was sent via 
email, the message subject (title) may appear at the 
beginning of the message.
Messages are stored in folders:
•Inbox - Messages (whether read or unread) that 
you have neither erased nor saved.
•Outbox - Messages that you sent (if supported by 
your service provider).
•Saved - Messages that you have saved.
The sender may assign a priority level to their message:
•Urgent
•Emergency - Sent only by a network operator.
Your phone can store as many as 60 messages (memory 
is shared by all folders). The total number of stored 
messages depends on message length.
If your phone’s memory is full when you receive a mobile 
(text) message, one or more existing messages will 
automatically be deleted to make room for the new 
message. The priority level assigned to the received 

6180i Phase A 90
11/6/00  2:00pm
message determines which message is deleted:
•Normal (non-emergency) messages - When a 
normal message is received, the oldest read 
message in the Inbox is deleted.
•Emergency messages - When an emergency 
message is received, existing messages are deleted 
in the following order:
   - oldest read message in the Inbox
   - oldest message in the Saved folder
   - oldest unread message in the Inbox
If No space: message waiting or a similar notification 
message appears, delete one or more old messages to 
make room for the new message. The network will resend 
the message later.
When you receive a mobile message
When you receive a mobile message, the mobile message 
icon appears and Message received (or New 
emergency message) is displayed. Depending on the 
message alert tone setting, a tone may sound. See 
‘Message alert tone’ on page 52.
To read the message, press Read. The Inbox appears with 
the new message selected. Press Read again. If necessary, 
scroll down to read the entire message. At the end of the 
message, scroll further to view the sender’s name or 
phone number and the date and time the message was 
received. When you’ve seen the last new message, 
the icon disappears. While reading a message, you 
have several Options:
•Erase deletes the message. Press OK to confirm 
the deletion or Back to cancel.
•Use number calls a phone number if it was 
included in the message. If more than one number 
was included, a list of numbers is displayed. 
Choose one and press Call.
•Save sends the message to the Saved folder.
•Save address allows you to save the sender's email 
6180i Phase A 91
11/6/00  2:00pm
address into your phone book.
•Use web link allows you to direct the Minibrowser 
to a web address (URL) that appears in the body of 
the message. (Availability of the Minibrowser 
depends on your arrangement with your service 
provider.)
Erasing mobile messages
To erase the message you’re reading, press Options, 
Erase. To erase multiple messages, press Menu 0-1-1-5. 
Press Select. Choose the type of message to erase.

7. Sending mobile messages
Note: You can send mobile (text) messages if you have 
subscribed to the mobile messaging service offered by 
your service provider and the network in which you are 
using your phone supports mobile messaging.
About mobile messages
You can use your phone to send mobile messages that 
can be addressed to email addresses and phone numbers. 
The recipient typically receives your message via:
•a phone that supports mobile messaging
•a pager
•the internet (through an email client)
Message folders
Message are stored in folders:
•Inbox - Messages that you have received (whether 
read or unread) and that you have neither deleted 
nor saved.
•Outbox - Messages that you have sent (or that 
you have created then saved, intending to send 
later).
•Saved - Messages that were in the Inbox or 
Outbox and which you saved.
Predictive text input
When composing a message, you can use the predictive 
text input method to quickly enter text. See ‘Predictive 
text input’ on page 95.
Templates
A template is a predefined, commonly used sentence that 
you can quickly insert into a message. See ‘Templates’ on 
page 98.
Message priority levels

11/6/00  2:00pm
message. An icon or message should then appear on the 
recipient’s phone (or other device) to indicate the high 
priority level of your message. 
Delivery notification
When you send a message, you can request to be notified 
when the recipient receives the message. This 
notification is called a delivery note. If you addressed the 
message to more than one recipient, a separate delivery 
note appears for each recipient.

counter in the top right corner of the screen indicates the 
remaining number of characters allowed in the entire 
Recipient(s) field.
If the recipient’s name is listed in the phone book and an 
email address is associated with their name, you can 
quickly enter their email address by searching for their 
name in the phone book. (See “Associating an email 

6180i Phase A 95
11/6/00  2:00pm
address with an entry” on page 64.) To enter an email 
address from the phone book, press Options, then Search.
When entering an address manually, you can quickly 
enter the @ symbol by pressing   repeatedly until it

from the list of special symbols.
Editing a mobile message
Caution: While editing a message, if you accidentally 
press and hold Clear, all text within your message will be 
deleted.
A message can contain 88 characters. A counter in the 
top right corner of the screen indicates the number of 
remaining characters that you can enter. You can use two 
different methods to enter text into the message:
•Traditional text input
•Predictive text input
Traditional text input
See “Entering text and numbers” on page 42 for more 
information.
Predictive text input
Note:  The predictive text feaure is based on a built-in dictionary. 
Your phone includes several different language versions of 
this dictionary. Although your phone may be able to display 
a given language on the screen, it does not necessarily 
contain a predictive text dictionary of that same language.
Using the traditional text input method requires that you 
press some keys more than once. For example, to enter 
the letter “c”, you must press 2 2 2. When using 
predictive text input, your phone “guesses” which word 
you are typing, requiring that you press a key only once 

6180i Phase A 96
11/6/00  2:00pm
for each letter you enter.
Activating predictive text input
Before you can use the predictive text input method, you 
must activate the feature. While editing a message, press 
Options, Dictionary, then choose any language. The 
predictive text input method is now available for use 
when editing.
Changing the language of the dictionary
While editing a message, press Options, Dictionary, then 
choose a language.
Writing words
When you begin editing a message, the predictive text 
icon (  ) appears at the top of the display, indicating 
that the phone is in predictive text input mode (the 
default mode). If the icon does not appear, predictive text 
input has been deactivated. To turn it on, press Options, 
Dictionary, then choose the desired input language.
To write a word, press each key only once for each letter 
of the word. For example, to write hello, press:
The characters that you enter appear underlined. The 
word changes after each keystroke, so try not to pay 
attention to how the word appears on the display until 
you have pressed all of the keys.
When you finish writing the word, check to ensure that 
the word is correct. If the word is correct, enter a space 
(press  ) and write the next word. If the word is 
incorrect and is underlined:
•Press   repeatedly until the desired word appears.
•OR, press Options, Matches. Your phone displays a list 
of words. Choose a word from the list, then press Use 
or press Back to exit and return to the message editor.
If the ? character appears after the word, there are no 
more words in the dictionary that correspond to your key 

6180i Phase A 97
11/6/00  2:00pm
presses. At this point, you can add the word to the 
dictionary by pressing Spell.
Writing compound words
To quickly write a compound word (for example, bluejay):
1. Write the first part (blue).
2. Press (do not enter a space). The underline disap-
pears from the first part.
3. Write the second part (jay).
Deleting characters
To delete one character to the left of the cursor,
press Clear. To delete all characters in the message, press 
and hold Clear.
Changing the method of text input and the case 
of letters
Press   repeatedly to change the method of text input 
(traditional   or predictive  ) and the case of letters 
that you enter (sentence case Abc 
Abc Abc 
Abc , upper case  , or 
lower case  ). he phone cycles through the following 
modes:
•Predictive text input, sentence case: 
•Predictive text input, lower case: 
•Traditional text input, upper case: 
•Traditional text input, lower case: 
Tip: If you don’t want to use predictive text input mode 
at all, you may want to deactivate it. (You can reactivate 
it later.) See ‘Deactivating predictive text input mode’ on 
page 98. This will keep you from having to cycle through 
all four modes.
Entering numbers
To enter one or just a few numbers, press and hold the 
respective number key. To enter many numbers, change 
to number entry mode ( ) and enter the numbers as 
usual. To change to number entry mode, press and hold 

6180i Phase A 98
11/6/00  2:00pm
, OR, press Options, Insert number.

mark), press and hold  , OR press Options, Insert 
symbol. To quickly insert a period (.), press  . To 
quickly insert double dashes (--) or three elipses (...), 
press   a few times.
Adding a word to your personal dictionary
If your phone’s dictionary does not contain a word, you 
can add it to your personal dictionary. If the ? character 
appears after the word, press Spell. (OR, at any time while 
editing, press Options, Insert word.) Enter the word using 
traditional text input, and press OK. If your personal 
dictionary is full, the new word replaces the oldest added 
word.
Deactivating predictive text input mode
To deactivate the predictive text feature, while editing a 
message, press Options, Dictionary, Dictionary off.

8. Data and Fax Calls
Note:  This feature is available only if your service provider’s 
network supports data and fax calls. Data and fax calls may 
also require that you subscribe to these additional services. 
Please check with your service provider before sending or 
receiving data or fax calls.
Your phone can function as a fax/modem when 
connected to your PC or laptop computer via the optional 
DLR-3 Data Cable (available through your local Nokia 
dealer). You must also have the appropriate fax or data 
software installed and configured to send and receive 
data or faxes through your phone. 
Can I receive a data or fax call while a voice call 
is in progress? 
Yes. Your phone will display either Data call or Fax call, 
depending on the type of incoming call.  If no cable is 
connected, the phone will display Fax call, connect data
cable or Data call, connect data cable. If you have Caller 
ID, the caller’s name or number will also be displayed. 
You must first terminate the voice call, then launch the 
appropriate data or fax software and allow the software 
to accept the incoming call.
Can I receive other calls while a data or fax call 
is in progress? 
No. The caller will receive a busy signal.
Can I place a voice call while a data or fax call is 
in progress?
No. If a voice call is attempted while a data or fax call is 
in progress, the phone will display End data call? End the 
data or fax call from your computer’s software, or press 
Back to return to the data or fax call in progress. Even if 
a data or fax call is not in progress (data is not being 
transferred), you cannot place a voice call if the data 
cable is connected to the phone.

6180i Phase A 101
11/6/00  2:00pm
Getting started
Make sure your phone is connected to your computer via 
the optional DLR-3 Data Cable and your computer 
recognizes the new hardware. 
See the installation and configuration instructions supplied with 
the DLR-3 cable for more information.
Configuring your data or fax software
Once properly connected and configured, your PC will 
recognize your phone as an external fax/modem. However, 
your fax or data software may already be configured to use 
the existing PCMCIA or internal modem.
Before you can use your phone to send and receive data 
or faxes, you must reconfigure your fax or data software 
so that it uses your phone rather than your existing 
modem. You may consider creating a separate set of 
dialing properties to use when your phone is connected, 
rather than changing any existing settings.
Please refer to the documentation or online help files for 
your data or fax application when creating new dialing 
configurations, or modifying existing settings.
To start a data or fax call
Note:  The restrict calls feature may affect any data/fax calls you 
attempt. If you experience problems, check your call 
restrictions. See page 71 for details.
1. Initiate a data or fax call using your data or fax 
software configured for your phone.
2. When trying to connect to the network, the phone 
displays Connecting... Once connected, the text 
Data call (or Fax call) remains on the display for the 
duration of the data or fax call. 
3. Terminate the data call from your data software; fax 
calls typically terminate automatically.
Note:   Avoid terminating a call by pressing your phone’s  
key. This may cause your data or fax application to 
temporarily lock up and could cause loss of data.

6180i Phase A 102
11/6/00  2:00pm
Note:  Data or fax calls cannot be initiated using your phone’s 
keypad. All data and fax calls must be initiated using the 
data or fax software.
Note: Any touch tones (DTMF tones) needed for calling cards, 
special long-distance access numbers, etc. must be 
programmed into the dialing string.
To receive a data or fax call
Your phone must be connected to your PC via the data 
cable.
1. The appropriate data or fax software must be run-
ning. Consider setting your data or fax software to 
automatically answer incoming calls so you can 
receive them while away from your PC.
2. When you receive a call, Data call or Fax call 
appears and an alert sounds.
3. Terminate the data call from your data software; fax 
calls typically terminate automatically.
Note:  Avoid terminating a call by pressing your phone’s  
key. This may cause your data or fax application to 
temporarily lock up and could cause loss of data.
Manual selection of incoming data/fax calls
Certain service providers require that you preset your 
phone to receive the incoming data or fax call, rather 
than having the phone automatically detect the call type.
Note:  Check with your service provider to see if “pre-
arrangement” of data and/or fax calls is necessary. 
Most popular data and fax programs allow you to send 
additional initialization commands to the modem when 
the program is launched, or when the modem is 
instructed to receive a call. You will need to modify your 
phone’s modem configuration in the data or fax software 
so that it sends the following special initialization string 
to the modem:
6180i Phase A 103
11/6/00  2:00pm
To preset your phone to receive a data call:
AT+CSP=1
To preset your phone to receive a fax call:
AT+CSP=2
You should only have to make this modification once; 
these settings typically are saved as a part of your data or 
fax program’s settings.  Please refer to the documentation 
or online help files for your data or fax application when 
modifying your modem’s initialization string. 
When the software has sent the proper command to your 
phone, the phone will display Data reception only or For 
fax reception only momentarily, along with either a d or 
f status indicator at the start screen. 
Once your phone is preset for either data or fax reception, 
you cannot receive incoming voice calls. You must either 
remove the data cable or turn the phone’s power off and 
back on to restore normal voice call reception.

6180i Phase A 104
11/6/00  2:00pm
9. Accessories
If you want to enhance your phone’s functionality, an 
extensive range of accessories is available for you. You 
can select any of these items to help accommodate your 
specific communication needs. For availability of these 
and other accessories, contact your service provider.
A few practical rules for accessory operation:
Keep all accessories out of reach of small children.
When you disconnect the power cord of any 
accessory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Check regularly that any vehicle-installed accessories 
are mounted and are operating properly.
Installation of any complex car accessories must be 
made by qualified personnel only.
Note:  Use only batteries, chargers and accessories approved by 
the phone manufacturer for use with this particular phone 
model. 
The use of any other types may invalidate any approval or 
warranty applying to the phone, and may be dangerous.
Note:  See page 9 for important battery usage information.
Note:  For availability of approved accessories, please check with 
your authorized Nokia dealer.

vehicle battery by 
using the Rapid 
Cigarette Lighter 
Charger (LCH-9). 
Calls are possible during charging. A green light indicates 
the charger is ready for charging (when not charging) or 
finished charging (if it has been charging). The battery 
charging times are the same as those for the Rapid Travel 
Charger (ACP-9U)
The input voltage range is from 11 to 32V DC, negative 
grounding. Avoid prolonged charging with the Rapid 
Cigarette Lighter Charger (LCH-9) when the car engine is 
not running; this may cause the battery of your car to 
drain. Note also that in some cars the cigarette lighter 
plug is not provided with electricity if the ignition is not 

6180i Phase A 108
11/6/00  2:00pm
switched on.
Desktop Charging Stand (DCH-8)
Used together with the 
Standard Travel Charger 
(ACP-7U) or the Rapid Travel 
Charger (ACP-9U), the 
Compact Desktop Charging 
Stand (DCH-8) is an 
economical choice when you 
need your phone close at hand. 
With the battery still attached, place your phone in the 
charging stand to begin charging your phone’s battery.
Charging is indicated by the scrolling battery bars on the 
right side of your phone’s display. When the scrolling 
stops, the battery is approximately 80% charged.

10. Troubleshooting
What if charging fails?
If your phone displays Not charging, charging is 
suspended. Make sure the battery is connected to an 
approved charging device and that the battery is at room 
temperature. Extreme temperatures, hot or cold, can 
affect your battery’s performance and prevent charging.
If charging still fails, disconnect the charger from your 
phone. Then reconnect the charger to your phone and 
retry. If you still experience charging problems, contact 
your dealer and, if necessary, bring your phone in to have 
it serviced. Don’t forget your battery and charger.
No service
If you’re outside the wireless service area, No service will 
display on your phone. No calls can be made or received, 
including emergency calls.
What if the call doesn’t go through?
Your phone can make and receive calls only when it’s 
switched on and in the wireless network’s service area. 
No service means that you’re probably outside the 
wireless service area. No calls can be made or received. 
See “Checking signal strength” on page 19.
Check call restrictions means calls to the phone number 
you tried to call are restricted (see “Restricting calls” on 
page 71), or your phone is locked (see “Phone lock” on 
page 67).
Note:  Check with your service provider for information about 
when you need to dial a ‘1’ and/or an area code in addition 
to the number.

11. Reference Information
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 an 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.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, 
read its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not 
connect incompatible products.
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 (held to your 
ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
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 inches (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 inches (20 
cm) from their pacemaker when the phone is switched on;
6180i Phase A 112
11/6/00  2:00pm
•Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
•Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to mini-
mize the potential for interference.
•If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking 
place, switch off your phone immediately.
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 they are 
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 anti-skid (anti-lock) 
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 while 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 
6180i Phase A 113
11/6/00  2:00pm
operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not 
always clearly marked. They include below deck on boats; 
chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied 
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air 
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal 
powders; and any other area where you would normally be 
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone, or install the 
phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous 
and may invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle 
is mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive 
materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts or 
accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag 
inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including both 
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air 
bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless 
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious 
injury could result.
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of 
wireless telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the 
operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network 
and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension 
or denial of telephone services to the offender, or legal action, or 
both.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT! 
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, 
wireless and landline networks as well as user-programmed 
functions which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. 
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone 
for essential communications (for example, medical 
emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be 
switched on and in a service area with adequate signal strength. 
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone 

6180i Phase A 114
11/6/00  2:00pm
networks or when certain network services and/or phone features 
are in use. Check with local service providers.
Making an Emergency Call
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on
2. Key in the emergency number for your present 
location (for example, 911 or other official emer-
gency number). Emergency numbers vary by loca-
tion.
3. Press 
Note:  If certain features are in use (keyguard, restrict calls, etc.), 
you may first need to turn those features off before you can 
make an emergency call. Consult this document and your 
local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the 
necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that 
your wireless 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.
Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS 
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is 
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for 
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal 
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These 
limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish 
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The 
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by 
independent scientific organizations through periodic and 
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a 
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all 
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit 
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. 
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are 
conducted using standard operating positions specified by the 
FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power 
level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is 
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR 
level of the phone while operating can be well below the 
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate 
6180i Phase A 115
11/6/00  2:00pm
at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to 
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base 
station antenna, the lower the power output. 
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must 
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit 
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe 
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., 
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each 
model. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, 
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). 
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various 
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government 
requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model 
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance 
with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this 
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the 
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after 
searching on FCC ID: GMLNSD-3GW.
For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF 
exposure guidelines, use only Nokia approved accessories. When 
carrying the phone while it is on, use the specific Nokia belt-clip 
that has been tested for compliance.
Use of non-Nokia-approved accessories may violate FCC RF 
exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
________________________________________________
*  In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile 
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 
one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial 
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and 
to account for any variations in measurements.
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 allow you to enjoy this 
product for many years. When using your phone, battery, charger, 
OR any accessory:
•Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of small 
children’s reach.
•Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids con-
tain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
•Do not use or store it in dusty, dirty areas as its mov-
ing parts can be damaged.
6180i Phase A 116
11/6/00  2:00pm
•Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can 
shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, 
and warp or melt certain plastics.
•Do not store it in cold areas. When the phone warms 
up (to its normal operating temperature), moisture can 
form inside the phone, which may damage the phone's 
electronic circuit boards.
•Do not attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the 
device may damage it.
•Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can 
break internal circuit boards.
•Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or 
strong detergents to clean it. Wipe it with a soft cloth 
slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.
•Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device’s 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.
•If the phone, battery, charger, or any accessory is not 
working properly, take it to your nearest qualified service 
facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if neces-
sary, arrange for service.
