CONNECTING TO OTHER DEVICES When 
connecting to any other device, read its user 
guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not 
connect incompatible products.
EMERGENCY CALLS Ensure the phone 
function of the device is switched on and in 
service. Press the end key as many times as 
needed to clear the display and return to the 
standby mode. Enter the emergency number, 
then press the call key. Give your location. Do 
not end the call until given permission to do so.
About your device
The wireless device described in this guide is approved for 
use on the (E)GSM 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 and UMTS 
2100 networks. Contact your service provider for more 
information about networks.
The 2100 MHz UMTS is not used in North America and has 
been turned off in your device. To activate the 2100 MHz 
UMTS frequency for use outside North America, select 
Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Network > Network 
Mode > Dual Mode.
When using the features in this device, obey all laws and 
respect local customs, privacy and legitimate rights of others, 
including copyrights. Not all networks support all features 
offered in this device. For instance, Video Calls, Video Sharing, 
Push-to-Talk, and Instant Messaging are not compatible with 
the networks in the United States of America.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, music 
(including ringing tones), and other content from being 
copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded. 
Your device supports internet connections and other 
methods of connectivity. Like computers, your device may 
be exposed to viruses, malicious messages and 
applications, and other harmful content. Exercise caution 
and open messages, accept connectivity requests, 
download content, and accept installations only from 
trustworthy sources. To increase the security of your 
device, consider installing, using, and regularly updating 
antivirus software, firewall, and other related software on 
your device and any connected computer.
 Warning: To use any features in this device, other 
than the alarm clock, the device must be switched on. 
Do not switch the device on when wireless device use 
may cause interference or danger.
The office applications support common features of 
Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel (Microsoft Office 
97, 2000, and XP). Not all file formats can be viewed or 
modified.
During extended operation, such as an active video 
sharing session or high-speed data connection, 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 authorized service facility.
Your device may have preinstalled bookmarks and links for 
third-party internet sites. You may also access other 
third-party sites through your device. Third-party sites are 
not affiliated with Nokia, and Nokia does not endorse or 
assume liability for them. If you choose to access such 
sites, you should take precautions for security or content.
The images in this guide may differ from your device display.
Network services
To use the phone you must have service from a network 
service provider. Many of the features require special 
network features. These features are not available on all 
networks; other networks may require that you make 
specific arrangements with your service provider before 
you can use the network services. Your service provider 
can give you instructions and explain what charges will 
apply. Some networks may have limitations that affect 
how you can use network services. For instance, some 
networks may not support all language-dependent 
characters and services.
Your service provider may have requested that certain 
features be disabled or not activated in your device. If so, 
these features will not appear on your device menu. Your 
device may also have a special configuration such as 
changes in menu names, menu order, and icons. Contact 
your service provider for more information. 
This device supports WAP 2.0 protocols (HTTP and SSL) that 
run on TCP/IP protocols. Some features of this device, such 
as MMS, browsing, and e-mail require network support for 
these technologies.
Enhancements, batteries, and 
chargers
Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger 
before removing the battery.

this device. This device is intended for use when supplied 
with power from an AC-3, AC-4, or AC-5 charger and from 
an AC-1, ACP-8, ACP-9, ACP-12, or LCH-12 charger when

enhancements approved by Nokia for use with this 
particular model. The use of any other types may invalidate 
any approval or warranty, and may be dangerous.

Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has 
three picture quality modes (Print 2M - Large, Print 1M 
- Medium, or MMS 0.3M - Small). Use the High setting 
to make sure that the camera produces the best picture 
quality available. Note however, that better picture 
quality requires more storage space. For MMS and e-mail 
attachments it may be necessary to use MMS 0.3M - 
Small setting. You can define the quality in Options > 
Settings.
Background
Use a simple background. For portraits and other pictures 
with people, avoid having your subject in front of a 
cluttered, complex background that may distract attention 
from the subject. Move the camera, or the subject, when 
these conditions cannot be met. Move the camera closer to 
the object to take clearer portraits.
Depth
When shooting landscapes and sceneries, add depth to 
your pictures by placing objects in the foreground. If the 
foreground object is too close to the camera, it may be 
blurred.
Lighting conditions
Changing the source, amount, and direction of light can 
change photographs dramatically. Here are some typical 
lighting conditions:
•Light source behind the subject. Avoid placing your 
subject in front of a strong light source. If the light 
source is behind the subject or visible in the display, the 
resulting picture may have weak contrast, may be too 
dark, and may contain unwanted light effects.
•Sidelit subject. Strong side light gives a dramatic 
effect but may be too harsh, resulting in too much 
contrast.

•Light source in front of the subject. Harsh sunlight 
may cause the subjects to squint their eyes. The 
contrast may also be too high.
•Optimal lighting is found in situations where there is 
plenty of diffused, soft light available, for example, on 
a bright, partially cloudy day or on a sunny day in the 
shadow of trees.
