This document serves as the user guide for the Nokia 130 (2023) mobile phone, model TA-1576. It provides comprehensive instructions on how to set up, operate, personalize, and maintain the device, along with important product and safety information.
The Nokia 130 (2023) is a basic mobile phone designed for essential communication and simple functionalities. Its primary functions include making and receiving calls, managing contacts, and sending messages. The device supports dual SIM cards, allowing users to have two active SIM cards simultaneously when the device is not in use for a call. During an active call on one SIM, the other may be temporarily unavailable.
The phone features a standard keypad for navigation and text input. It includes dedicated keys for calling, ending calls, and left/right selection, as well as a scroll key for menu navigation and volume control during calls or radio playback. A built-in flashlight function is also available, activated by pressing the scroll key twice upwards from the home screen.
Beyond core communication, the Nokia 130 (2023) offers several utility features. It includes an alarm clock for setting reminders, a calendar for managing events, and a basic calculator for arithmetic operations. The device also supports the use of a microSD memory card (up to 32 GB) for additional storage, although the specific use cases for this storage are not detailed in the provided excerpts.
The phone's interface allows for personalization, including changing ringtones, message sounds, and the home screen wallpaper. Users can also customize the "Go to" shortcuts on the home screen to quickly access frequently used apps and settings.
Getting started with the Nokia 130 (2023) involves inserting the SIM card(s) and, optionally, a memory card. The back cover is removed by lifting it from a small slot at the bottom, and the battery is removed if present before inserting the SIM card(s) and memory card. SIM cards are slid into their respective slots with the contact area face down. The device is switched on by pressing and holding the Power/End key.
Charging the phone is straightforward: plug the charger into a wall outlet and then connect it to the phone. The guide advises unplugging the charger from the phone first, then the wall outlet, once charging is complete. USB charging is also possible when a wall outlet is unavailable, though its efficiency may vary.
Keypad usage is central to interacting with the device. The scroll key is used to navigate through menus and select apps or features. The end key returns the user to the home screen. During calls or radio listening, the scroll key adjusts the volume. The keypad can be locked to prevent accidental presses and unlocked using a combination of the end key and a selection. Text input supports predictive text (if enabled), space input with the '0' key, special characters with the asterisk key, and switching character cases with the hash key. Numbers can be typed by pressing and holding the corresponding number key.
Making a call involves typing the phone number (using '*' twice for the '+' character in international calls) and then pressing the call key. Answering a call is done by pressing the call key. Contacts can be added directly from the menu or saved from the call log, requiring the user to input a name and number. Sending messages involves navigating to the message creation option, typing the message, and then selecting a recipient from contacts or by typing a number.
Personalization options allow users to set new tones for calls and messages, choose a different wallpaper for the home screen, and decide whether to display the date and time. The phone offers various profiles (e.g., silent, outdoor) that can be customized with specific ringtones and volumes. The "Go to" menu, accessible from the home screen, can be edited to include shortcuts to preferred apps and settings, and these shortcuts can also be reorganized.
The user guide emphasizes several aspects of device care to ensure its longevity and proper functioning. Users are advised to handle the device, battery, charger, and accessories with care. Key recommendations include:
Regarding batteries and chargers, the guide stresses using only original rechargeable batteries and approved chargers from HMD Global Oy. It warns against using incompatible batteries or chargers due to fire, explosion, or other hazards. Users are instructed to unplug the charger once charging is complete and not to charge continuously for more than 12 hours. Extreme temperatures are noted to reduce battery capacity and lifetime, with an optimal operating range of 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). If the device feels warm during extended operation, it may automatically slow down, close apps, or switch off charging to prevent overheating.
For devices with removable batteries, users are reminded to switch off the device and unplug the charger before removal. A warning is given against accidental short-circuiting by metallic objects touching battery strips.
The guide also covers restoring factory settings, which can be done by typing *#7370# on the home screen. This action removes all data and personalization from the phone memory, and users are advised to be cautious and remove all private content before disposing of the phone.
Finally, the document includes information on recycling, indicating that all electrical and electronic products and batteries should be taken to dedicated collection points to prevent uncontrolled waste disposal and promote material recycling. Users are encouraged to remove personal data before recycling.
