Tips on taking good photographs
Picture quality
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 

Camera
48
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.

Digital rights management 
Content owners may use different types of digital rights 
management (DRM) technologies to protect their 
intellectual property, including copyrights. This device uses 
various types of DRM software to access DRM-protected 
content. With this device you can access content protected 
with WMDRM 10, OMA DRM 1.0, and OMA DRM 2.0. If 
certain DRM software fails to protect the content, content 
owners may ask that such DRM software's ability to access 
new DRM-protected content be revoked. Revocation may 
also prevent renewal of such DRM-protected content 
already in your device. Revocation of such DRM software 
does not affect the use of content protected with other 
types of DRM or the use of non-DRM-protected content.
Digital rights management (DRM) protected content 
comes with an associated activation key that defines your 
rights to use the content.
If your device has OMA DRM protected content, to back up 
both the activation keys and the content, use the backup 
feature of Nokia Nseries PC Suite. Other transfer methods 
may not transfer the activation keys which need to be 
restored with the content for you to be able to continue 
the use of OMA DRM protected content after the device 
memory is formatted. You may also need to restore the 
activation keys in case the files on your device get 
corrupted.
If your device has WMDRM protected content, both the 
activation keys and the content will be lost if the device 
memory is formatted. You may also lose the activation keys 
and the content in case the files on your device get 
corrupted. Losing the activation keys or the content may 
limit your ability to use the same content on your device 
again. For more information, contact your service provider.
Some activation keys may be connected to a specific SIM 
card, and the protected content can be accessed only if the 
SIM card is inserted in the device.
To view the digital rights activation keys stored in your 
device, press  , and select Applications > Media > 
Actv. keys and from the following:
Valid keys—View keys that are connected to one or more 
media files and keys whose validity period has not started 
yet.

Voice dialing
Your device supports enhanced voice commands. 
Enhanced voice commands are not dependent on the 
speaker’s voice, so the user does not record voice tags in 
advance. Instead, the device creates a voice tag for the 
entries in contacts, and compares the spoken voice tag to 
it. The voice recognition in the device adapts to the main 
user’s voice to recognize the voice commands better.
The voice tag for a contact is the name or nickname that is 
saved on the contact card. To listen to the synthesized 
voice tag, open a contact card, and select Options > Play 
voice tag.
Make a call with a voice tag

tag.

Certificate management
Digital certificates do not guarantee safety; they are used 
to verify the origin of software.
In the certificate management main view, you can see a 
list of authority certificates that are stored in your device. 
Press   to see a list of personal certificates, if available.
Digital certificates should be used if you want to connect 
to an online bank or another site or remote server for 
actions that involve transferring confidential information. 
They should also be used if you want to reduce the risk of 
viruses or other malicious software and be sure of the 
authenticity of software when downloading and installing 
software.
 Important: Even if the use of certificates makes the 
risks involved in remote connections and software 
installation considerably smaller, they must be used 
correctly in order to benefit from increased security. The 
existence of a certificate does not offer any protection by 
itself; the certificate manager must contain correct, 
authentic, or trusted certificates for increased security to 
be available. Certificates have a restricted lifetime. If 
“Expired certificate” or “Certificate not valid yet" is shown 
even if the certificate should be valid, check that the 
current date and time in your device are correct.
Before changing any certificate settings, you must make 
sure that you really trust the owner of the certificate and 
that the certificate really belongs to the listed owner.
View certificate details—check authenticity
You can only be sure of the correct identity of a server 
when the signature and the period of validity of a server 
certificate have been checked.
You are notified if the identity of the server is not 
authentic or if you do not have the correct security 
certificate in your device.
To check certificate details, scroll to a certificate, and 
select Options > Certificate details. When you open 
certificate details, the validity of the certificate is checked, 
and one of the following notes may be displayed:
•Certificate not trusted—You have not set any 
application to use the certificate. See ‘Change the trust 
settings’, p. 98.
•Expired certificate—The period of validity has ended 
for the selected certificate.
•Certificate not valid yet—The period of validity has 
not yet begun for the selected certificate.
•Certificate corrupted—The certificate cannot be used. 
Contact the certificate issuer.

Battery information
107
Battery information
Charging and discharging
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery 
can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will 
eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are 
noticeably shorter than normal, replace the battery. Use only 
Nokia approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with 
Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
If a replacement battery is being used for the first time or if 
the battery has not been used for a prolonged period, it may 
be necessary to connect the charger, then disconnect and 
reconnect it to begin charging the battery.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device 
when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery 
connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its 
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its 
charge over time.
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.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any 
charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting 
can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen 
causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) 
terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the 
battery.) This might happen, 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 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot 
or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the 
battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly 
limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. 
Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries 
according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible. 
Do not dispose as household waste.
Do not dismantle or shred cells or batteries. In the event of a 
battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with 
the skin or eyes. In the event of such a leak, flush your skin or 
eyes immediately with water, or seek medical help.
Nokia battery authentication 
guidelines
Always use original Nokia batteries for your safety. To check 
that you are getting an original Nokia battery, purchase it from 

Battery information
108
an authorized Nokia dealer, and inspect the hologram label 
using the following steps:
Successful completion of the steps is not a total assurance of 
the authenticity of the battery. If you have any reason to 
believe that your battery is not an authentic, original Nokia 
battery, you should refrain from using it, and take it to the 
nearest authorized Nokia service point or dealer for assistance. 
Your authorized Nokia service point or dealer will inspect the 
battery for authenticity. If authenticity cannot be verified, 
return the battery to the place of purchase.
Authenticate hologram
1When you look at the hologram on 
the label, you should see the 
Nokia connecting hands symbol 
from one angle and the Nokia 
Original Enhancements logo when 
looking from another angle.
2When you angle the hologram 
left, right, down, and up, you 
should see 1, 2, 3, and 4 dots on 
each side respectively.
What if your battery is not authentic?
If you cannot confirm that your Nokia battery with the 
hologram on the label is an authentic Nokia battery, please do 
not use the battery. Take it to the nearest authorized Nokia 
service point or dealer for assistance. The use of a battery that 
is not approved by the manufacturer may be dangerous and 
may result in poor performance and damage to your device 
and its enhancements. It may also invalidate any approval or 
warranty applying to the device.

properly inserted in the device.
2Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the 
display and ready the device for calls. 
3Enter the official emergency number for your present 
location. Emergency numbers vary by location.
4Press the call key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those 
features off before you can make an emergency call. If the 
device is in the offline or flight profile mode, you may need to 
change the profile to activate the phone function before you 
can make an emergency call. Consult this guide or your service 
provider for more information.
When making an emergency call, give all the necessary 
information as accurately as possible. Your wireless device 
may be the only means of communication at the scene of an 
accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.
Certification information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio 
waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is 
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves 
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines 
were developed by the independent scientific organization 
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the 
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of 
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. 
The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for 
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with 
the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in 
all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an 
operating device can be below the maximum value because 
the device is designed to use only the power required to reach 
the network. That amount changes depending on a number of 
factors such as how close you are to a network base station. 
The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of 
the device at the ear is 0.81 W/kg. 
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements 
for exposure to radio waves established by the Federal 
Communications Commission (USA) and Industry Canada. 
These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over 
one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this 
standard during product certification for use at the ear is 
0.73 W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 0.60 W/kg. 

Additional safety information
114
Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in 
different SAR values. SAR values may vary depending on 
national reporting and testing requirements and the network 
band. Additional SAR information may be provided under 
product information at www.nokia.com.
