approved accessories and batteries.  
FCC/Industry Canada Notice  
A cellular phone may cause TV or radio interference  
(e.g. when using a phone in close proximity to electronic re-  
ceiving equipment). The FCC/Industry Canada can require  
you to stop using your cellular phone if such interference  
cannot be eliminated. If you require assistance, please  
contact your local service facility.  
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.  
Operation is subject to the condition that this device does  
not cause harmful interference.  
Using this Guide  
The cellular phone described in this guide is approved for  
use in AMPS and/or NAMPS networks.  
A number of features included in this guide are called  
Network Services. They are special services provided by  
cellular service providers. Before you can take advantage  
of any of these Network Services, you must subscribe to  
the service(s) from your home service provider and obtain  
instructions for their use.

3
Signal Strength Indication  
A cellular phone sends and receives radio signals. As with  
all radio equipment, the quality of radio reception depends  
on the strength of the radio signal in the area where you  
are operating your phone.  
The strength of the cellular signal is shown by  
the vertical bar on the left-hand side of the dis-  
play. The higher the bar, the stronger the signal  
at your present location.  
When NO SERVI CE is displayed, the phone is  
either outside of the cellular service area or re-  
stricted from entering service, and calls cannot  
be made or received.  
If the signal is poor and you are using the phone in a  
building, you may get better reception near a window.  
4
3. Battery Information  
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. Use  
only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and  
recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by  
See your cellular service provider or dealer for the battery  
options available for your phone.  
Installing the Battery  
Removing the Battery  
Note: Switch off the  
phone’s power before  
removing the battery!  
5
 
Charging the Battery  
Plug the charger into a wall outlet and connect the charger  
to the bottom of your phone.  
When charging starts, the battery  
segments scroll and the phone  
beeps once.  
You can use the phone during charg-  
ing, but charging will be reduced for  
the duration of the call.  
Note: In a call, charging will stop completely if you are  
using the Standard Travel Charger (ACP-7U).  
After the segments of the battery indicator stop  
scrolling and all segments are displayed, the  
battery is fully charged. Disconnect the charger  
from the power outlet and phone.  
If the battery is too hot or cold, the charging may  
be interrupted until the battery reaches its normal  
operating temperature.  
Note: With a new, completely discharged battery, the  
phone may take up to 45 minutes to show that charging  
is in progress.

Discharging the Battery  
A 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  
and the phone turns itself off. Then wait for 30 minutes  
before connecting to a charging source. (See “Deep  
Note: Do not discharge the battery by any other means.  
8
Battery Low Warning  
You get this message and a warning  
tone when the battery charge is low  
and only a few minutes of talk time  
remain.  
The repetition rate of the battery-low  
warnings depends on the remaining battery capacity and  
the battery condition. The warnings are more frequent  
when you’re in a call.  
Note: If you’ve selected the Vibra Only or Silent Ringing  
Option, you won’t hear any warning tones. See “Ringing  
When the battery charge is too low for the phone to work,  
the phone displays RECHARGE BATTERY, then beeps,  
then shuts itself off.  
Charge the battery as described earlier in this section.  
Deep Discharge  
If you regularly just ‘top up’ the charge in your battery  
without ever allowing it to fully discharge first, its life will be  
shortened. In order to get the maximum life from your  
battery you should allow it to discharge completely about  
once a month.  
To discharge the battery completely:  
1
Leave the phone switched on until RECHARGE  
BATTERY appears, then let the phone switch off  
automatically.  
2
Leave the phone alone for about 30 minutes (and do  
not connect a charger within this time) after it  
switches itself off.  
9
 
During this 30 minutes, the phone is in ‘Deep  
Discharge’ mode. The way to ‘wake up’ the phone is  
to connect it to a charger.  
3
Fully charge the battery after Deep Discharge.  
The phone may remind you to discharge the battery, by  
presenting a series of battery-advice messages. Press !  
or OK to page through the information, or press CLR to  
clear the messages.  
Important Battery Information  
Note that a new batterys full performance is achieved  
only after two or three complete charge and discharge  
cycles!  
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds  
of times but it will eventually wear out. When the  
operating time (talk time and standby time) is notice-  
ably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.  
Use only batteries approved by the phone manufac-  
turer 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 good operation times,  
discharge the battery from time to time by leaving  
your phone switched on until it turns itself off (or by  
using the battery discharge facility of any approved  
accessory available for your phone). Do not attempt  
to discharge the battery by any other means.  
10  
 
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 cir-  
cuiting 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.  
11  
4. The Basics  
Switching On or Off  
Press and hold the PWR key for one second.  
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any  
other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over  
your shoulder.  
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: Extend your antenna  
fully when in calls. As with any other radio transmitting  
device, avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna 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.  
WARNING! Do not switch the phone on when cellular phone  
use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.  
Wake-up Message  
When you switch your phone on, the phone displays a  
wake-up message consisting of the phone number cur-  
rently selected for your phone, or the name of the dealer if  
this has been programmed. (If programmed, the name  
takes precedence over the phone number.)  
To change the wake-up message:  
1
Press ABC, then enter the message. Press OK.  
2
At the prompt SAVE I N LOCATI ON?, press . Press  
OK. (The wake-up message is stored in location ‘’.)  
Note: The Wake-up Message is different from the Reminder  
Message you can store in your phone. See “Reminder  
12  
Note: The wake-up message is specific to your currently  
selected phone number.  
Selecting a Network  
Your phone operates on specific networks and sometimes  
it must choose which system to use. This can happen, for  
example, if you are roaming (i.e. you leave the area where  
you have signed up for service).  
If you want your phone to work only in certain types of  
networks (for example, to take advantage of certain billing  
agreements between systems), you can specify this using

calls by emergency 9 dialing.  
Carrier Selection (Menu 5 1 1)  
Your phone uses a carrier network (also called a cellular  
system) to make and receive calls. Generally you sign up  
for service with a particular “carrier” (your cellular service  
provider). This is called your “Home system” and usually  
you want the phone to use it.  
45  
 
But there may be times when you can’t or don’t use your  
Home system (for example when you travel). Then, there’s  
usually more than one network your phone can work in.  
But which one should it work in? The point of the Carrier  
Selection menu is to help your phone make the best  
choice for you.  
A simple fact to know: all cellular systems are either type  
“A” or “B”. So your “Home system” is either an “A” or “B”  
system. Ask your cellular service provider or dealer which  
type yours is.

(0-9, *, #, CLR or END) exits the In-Call Menu. The phone  
displays the digit pressed instead.  
63  
 
While the phone is alerting you of an incoming call (and  
there are no other calls active or held), the In-Call menu is  
not available until you answer the call. Similarly, when you  
press SEND to initiate a call, until the call is connected,  
there is no In-Call Menu.  
Reminder Message  
You can store a reminder message to appear the next  
time you switch your phone on (it will appear once only).

7. Data and Touch Tones  
Data Mode  
Data Mode can be used when your phone is connected,  
via a suitable data card and modem, to a laptop or personal  
computer. You may then use your computer to make and  
receive calls, and to send and receive data messages  
such as emails.  
Follow these steps before using Data Mode:  
Ensure your phone is switched on, and that the  
battery has enough charge for the duration of your  
data calls.  
Ensure that you are receiving a strong signal  
(see signal strength indicator on the display).  
Ensure that your computer is switched on, and is  
fitted with a data card.  
Connect the data cable to the data card, and to your  
phone.  
To select Data Mode  
Connect the data cable to your phone (DATA CARD  
CONNECTED displays). When in a call, with the data cable  
connected, the phone displays DATA CALL.  
In a data call, the keys on the phone don’t work except for  
END; when not in a call, all keys work. Also, the micro-  
phone and earpiece don’t work in a data call.  
Important! When you are in Data Mode, do not switch off  
the phone. Do not move the phone, or use it in a moving  
vehicle (data will be lost if you move from one cell to  
another).  
65  
To de-select Data Mode  
Disconnect the data cable (DATA CARD REMOVED  
displays).  
To operate your modem and data card  
Refer to the documentation supplied with these items.  
Sending Touch Tones  
Your phone is a ‘Touch Tone’ phone. Touch Tones are the  
sounds your phone makes when you press the keys.  
Touch Tones can be used for many automated phone  
services such as checking your bank balance and using  
voice mailbox options.  
Your phone refers to Touch Tones as ‘DTMF’ (Dual Tone  
Multi Frequency).  
Manually Sending Touch Tones  
Pressing the keys during a call sends Touch Tones. To do  
this:  
1
Make a call in the usual way (e.g. to your bank's  
computer phone number).  
2
Manually enter the digits to be sent as Touch tones  
(e.g., your bank account number and password).  
Automatically Sending Touch Tones  
For automatic sending of Touch Tones, you can store the  
Touch Tone string within the same memory location as the  
access phone number. Store a pause (p) or wait (w) char-  
acter between the phone number and the Touch Tone string.  
for details on storing pause and wait characters.  
66  
   
The following is an example of a number you could store  
in your phone:  
This number contains a phone number (18005551212), a  
wait character, an access number (‘1234’), a wait charac-  
ter, and a password (‘3434’) - 18005551212w1234w3434.  
When you recall this number from memory and press  
SEND, the phone:  
Dials 18005551212 (the stored number), then:  
‘Waits’ for you to press SEND again. When you do,  
the phone sends the numbers 1234.  
‘Waits’ for you to press SEND again, then sends the  
numbers 3434.  
The following example shows storing ‘pause’ characters  
as well as ‘wait’ characters (Note that a ‘wait’ character  
must still be included, as shown, to separate the phone  
number from the following digits):  
18005551212w1234p3434  
When you recall this number from memory and press  
SEND, the phone:  
Dials 18005551212 (the stored number), then  
‘Waits’ for you to press SEND again. When you do,  
the phone sends the numbers 1234. It then:  
Pauses for 2.5 seconds, then sends the numbers  
3434.  
Note: If the keypad tones have been set to Off, the Touch  
Tones will still be sent, but you will not hear them.  
Pressing MENU SEND sends a displayed number as a  
Touch Tone.  
To end the call, press END after the phone sends the  
Touch Tones and has returned to the normal call mode.  
67  
Using the Flash Function  
Your cellular system may offer a flash function service.  
This system service lets you accept or make a second call  
when you already have a call in progress (e.g. set up a  
conference call), or send other information to the network,  
such as credit card numbers.  
Pressing SEND sends a displayed number to the network  
as a flash, unless it is preceded by a ‘p’ or ‘w’. (In these  
cases it is sent as a Touch Tone.)  
After the phone number has been entered, you can add  
extra information which is for ‘flash’ sending to the network.  
Contact your service provider for further details.  
68  
8. Network Services

10. Reference Information  
Important Safety Information  
Traffic Safety  
Do not use a hand-held phone 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 and always  
switch off your phone whenever its use is forbidden, or when it may  
cause interference or danger.  
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device,  
read its user guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect  
incompatible products.  
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are ad-  
vised 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 cellular phone.  
Pacemakers  
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation  
of 6 inches (20 cm.) be maintained between a handheld cellular  
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the  
81  
 
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;  
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.  
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 pro-  
tected 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 (e.g. electronic fuel injection  
systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic  
speed control systems, air bag systems). Check with the manufac-  
turer 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.  
82  
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 re-  
strictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage  
and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting opera-  
tions are in progress.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not al-  
ways 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 chemi-  
cals 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 install the phone in a vehicle, or  
service the phone. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous  
and may invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.  
Check regularly that all cellular phone equipment in your vehicle is  
mounted and operating properly.  
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive ma-  
terials in the same compartment as a cellular phone or any of 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 in-  
stalled 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.  
83  
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of  
cellular phones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of  
the aircraft, may disrupt the cellular network, and may be illegal.  
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the 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 by using radio sig-  
nals, cellular and landline networks, as well as 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).  
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must 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.  
Making an Emergency Call  
1
If the phone is not on, switch it on by pressing and  
holding the PWR key.  
2
3
Press and hold CLR to clear the display.  
Enter the emergency number for your present loca-  
tion (e.g., 911 or another official emergency number).  
Emergency numbers vary by location.  
4
Press SEND.  
If certain features are in use (e.g., Keyguard), you may first need to  
turn these off before you can make an emergency call. Consult this  
document and your local service provider.  
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary  
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your cellular  
phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of  
an accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.  
84  
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 weredeveloped 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 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) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest  
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is  
1.34 W/Kg. While there may be differences between the SAR  
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the  
government requirement.  
85  
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 GML NHA-3.  
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be  
found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association  
(CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.  
________________________________________________  
* 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.  
86  
Care and Maintenance  
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsman-  
ship 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 childrens  
reach.  
Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain  
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.  
Do not use or store it in dusty, dirty areas as its moving parts  
can be damaged.  
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 devices 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 necessary, arrange  
for service.  
87  
11. Troubleshooting  
Note: With a new, completely discharged battery, the  
phone may take up to 45 minutes to show that charging is  
in progress.  
If the power does not come on or stay  
on:  
Make sure the battery is properly installed and  
charged.  
Be sure that the contacts on the battery and the  
charging stand are clean.  
Battery charge may be too low for operation. Check  
the display and listen for the low battery warning  
tones.  
If the power comes on, but the phone  
does not work:  
If the phone displays NO SERVI CE, you’re out of the  
cellular service area and you can’t make calls. You  
also get this message if you’ve chosen Home Onl y  
under Carrier Selection (in Menu 5 1), and you’ve left  
your Home system.  
Make sure that the antenna is properly installed and if  
your phone has an extendable antenna, make sure  
that the antenna is extended to its full length.  
Check if there is an error message on the display after  
switching the phone on. If so, contact your local

13. NOKIA One-Year Limited  
Warranty  
Nokia Mobile Phones, Inc. (“NMP”) warrants that this cellular  
phone (“Product”) is free from defects in material and workmanship  
that result in Product failure during normal usage, according to the  
following terms and conditions:  
1. The limited warranty for the Product extends for ONE (1) year  
beginning on the date of the purchase of the Product.  
2. The limited warranty extends to the original purchaser of the  
Product (“Consumer”) and is not assignable or transferable to any  
subsequent purchaser/end-user.  
3. The limited warranty extends only to Consumers who purchase  
the Product in the United States.  
4. During the limited warranty period, NMP will repair, or replace, at  
NMP's option, any defective parts, or any parts that will not  
properly operate for their intended use with new or factory rebuilt  
replacement items if such repair or replacement is needed because  
of product malfunction or failure during normal usage. No charge  
will be made to the Consumer for any such parts. NMP will also  
pay for the labor charges incurred by NMP in repairing or replacing  
the defective parts. The limited warranty does not cover defects in  
appearance, cosmetic, decorative or structural items, including  
framing, and any non-operative parts. NMP's limit of liability under  
the limited warranty shall be the actual cash value of the Product  
at the time the Consumer returns the Product for repair, determined  
by the price paid by the Consumer for the Product less a reasonable  
amount for usage. NMP shall not be liable for any other losses or  
damages. These remedies are the Consumers exclusive remedies  
for breach of warranty.  
5. Upon request from NMP, the Consumer must prove the date of  
the original purchase of the Product by a dated bill of sale or dated  
itemized receipt.  
6. The Consumer shall bear the cost of shipping the Product to  
NMP in Melbourne, Florida. NMP shall bear the cost of shipping  
the Product back to the Consumer after the completion of service  
under this limited warranty.  
7. The Consumer shall have no coverage or benefits under this  
limited warranty if any of the following conditions are applicable:  
90  
a) The Product has been subject to abnormal use, abnormal  
conditions, improper storage, exposure to moisture or dampness,  
unauthorized modifications, unauthorized connections, unauthorized  
repair, misuse, neglect, abuse, accident, alteration, improper  
installation, or other acts which are not the fault of NMP, including  
damage caused by shipping.  
b) The Product has been damaged from external causes such as  
collision with an object, or from fire, flooding, sand, dirt, windstorm,  
lightning, earthquake or damage from exposure to weather  
conditions, an Act of God, or battery leakage, theft, blown fuse, or  
improper use of any electrical source, or damage caused by the  
connection to other products not recommended for  
interconnection by NMP.  
c) NMP was not advised by the Consumer in writing of the alleged  
defect or malfunction of the Product within fourteen (14) days after  
the expiration of the applicable limited warranty period.  
d) The Product serial number plate or the accessory data code has  
been removed, defaced or altered.  
e) The defect or damage was caused by the defective function of  
the cellular system or by inadequate signal reception by the  
external antenna.  
8. If a problem develops during the limited warranty period, the  
Consumer shall take the following step-by-step procedure:  
a) The Consumer shall return the Product to the place of purchase  
for repair or replacement processing.  
b) If “a” is not convenient because of distance (more than 50 miles)  
or for other good cause, the Consumer shall ship the Product  
prepaid and insured to:  
Nokia Mobile Phones, Inc.  
Attn: Repair Department  
795 West Nasa Blvd.  
Melbourne, FL. 32901  
c) The Consumer shall include a return address, daytime phone  
number and/or fax number, complete description of the problem,  
proof of purchase and service agreement (if applicable). Expenses  
related to removing the Product from an installation are not  
covered under this limited warranty.  
d) The Consumer will be billed for any parts or labor charges not  
covered by this limited warranty. The Consumer will be responsible  
for any expenses related to reinstallation of the Product.  
91  
e) NMP will repair or authorize the repair of the Product under the  
limited warranty within 30 days after receipt of the Product by NMP  
or an NMP authorized service center. If NMP cannot perform repair  
covered under this limited warranty within 30 days, or after a  
reasonable number of attempts to repair the same defect, NMP at  
its option, will provide a replacement Product or refund the  
purchase price of the Product less a reasonable amount for usage.  
f) If the Product is returned to NMP during the limited warranty  
period, but the problem with the Product is not covered under the  
terms and conditions of this limited warranty, the Consumer will be  
notified and given an estimate of the charges the Consumer must  
pay to have the Product repaired, with all shipping charges billed  
to the Consumer. If the estimate is refused, the Product will be  
returned freight collect. If the Product is returned to NMP after the  
expiration of the limited warranty period, NMP's normal service  
policies shall apply and the Consumer will be responsible for all  
shipping charges.  
9. The Product consists of newly assembled equipment that may  
contain used components that have been reprocessed to allow  
machine compliance with Product performance and reliability  
specifications.

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, SHALL BE

WRITTEN WARRANTY. OTHERWISE, THE FOREGOING LIMITED  
WARRANTY IS THE CONSUMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE

DURING THE PERIOD THAT THE PRODUCT IS BEING REPAIRED.  
92  
11. Some states do not allow limitation of how long an implied  
warranty lasts, so the above one-year warranty limitation may not  
apply to you (the Consumer). Some states do not allow the  
exclusion or limitation of incidental and consequential damages, so  
certain of the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you  
(the Consumer). This limited warranty gives the Consumer specific  
legal rights and the Consumer may also have other rights which  
vary from state to state.  
12. NMP neither assumes nor authorizes any authorized service  
center or any other person or entity to assume for it any other  
obligation or liability beyond that which is expressly provided for in  
this limited warranty including the provider or seller of any extended  
warranty or service agreement.  
13. This is the entire warranty between NMP and the Consumer,  
and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or  
understandings, oral or written, and all communications relating to  
the Product, and no representation, promise or condition not  
contained herein shall modify these terms.  
14. This limited warranty allocates the risk of failure of the Product  
between the Consumer and NMP. The allocation is recognized by  
the Consumer and is reflected in the purchase price of the Product.  
15. Any action or lawsuit for breach of warranty must be  
commenced within eighteen (18) months following delivery of the  
Product.  
16. Questions concerning this limited warranty may be directed to:
