This document describes the Nokia 230 Dual SIM, a mobile phone designed for basic communication, entertainment, and personal organization. It emphasizes user safety, ease of use, and practical features for everyday mobile phone operation.

Function Description

The Nokia 230 Dual SIM is a feature phone that supports GSM 900 and 1800 MHz networks, allowing users to make calls, send messages, and browse the web. Its dual SIM capability enables the use of two SIM cards simultaneously, offering flexibility for managing calls, messages, and mobile data across different networks or plans. The device includes a camera for taking photos and recording videos, an FM radio, and a music player for entertainment. It also features an alarm clock and calendar for personal organization.

Usage Features

Getting Started: The phone's basic setup involves inserting the SIM cards, a memory card (for storing media), and the battery. Users are guided to slide the back cover lock, lift the cover, insert the battery, open the SIM holder to place SIM cards face down, and then slide in the memory card. The device is designed to be used with standard SIM cards only, and incompatible cards may cause damage. It is recommended to use compatible memory cards approved for the device. The phone is partially charged at the factory, but users may need to recharge it before initial use by plugging the charger into a wall outlet and then connecting it to the phone. USB charging is also an option when a wall outlet is unavailable, allowing data transfer while charging.

Keypad Lock: To prevent accidental key presses, the keypad can be locked by quickly pressing the end key and selecting "Lock." To unlock, press the end key again and select "Unlock."

SIM Card Management: For dual SIM users, the phone allows selection of which SIM card to use for calls, messages, and mobile data. This is configured through the "Dual SIM settings" menu. The "Smart Dual SIM" feature enables call forwarding between the two SIMs, ensuring calls are managed seamlessly even when one SIM is busy or out of reach.

Navigation and Interface: The phone's interface is navigated using a scroll key (up, down, left, right) to access apps and features from the main menu. The selection keys are used to choose options, and the end/power key is used to go back to the home screen or power off the device.

Flashlight: A built-in flashlight can be switched on by quickly scrolling up twice on the home screen and switched off by scrolling up once. Users are advised not to shine the light directly into anyone's eyes.

Volume Control: The device's volume can be adjusted by scrolling up or down during a call or while listening to the radio, allowing users to customize the sound level to their preference in various environments.

Personalization: Users can change the background wallpaper of their home screen through the "Display settings" menu. Ringtones can also be customized, with the option to set different ringtones for each SIM card.

Text Input: Text entry is done using the keypad, where keys are pressed repeatedly to cycle through letters. A space is entered by pressing '0', and special characters or punctuation marks by pressing '*'. Character cases can be switched by repeatedly pressing '#'. Predictive text, based on a built-in dictionary, can speed up typing, and users can add new words to the dictionary or switch between predictive and traditional text input.

Web Browsing: The phone allows users to browse the internet via the "Internet" menu. To avoid data costs, users can switch off the mobile data connection.

Calling and Messaging: Making a call involves typing the number and pressing the call key. Answering a call is done by pressing the call key. The phone supports hands-free calling when paired with a compatible Bluetooth headset. Phone numbers and names can be saved as contacts, with options to choose the memory location for storage. Text messages can be composed and sent to individual recipients or contacts, with support for special characters and symbols. Longer messages are sent as multiple parts, and character limits are affected by accents or special language options. Messages can be read from the lock screen or through the "Messaging" menu.

Social Features: The device supports social apps for connecting with friends and family, allowing users to sign in to instant messaging, sharing, and social networking services.

Camera and Video: The phone includes a camera for taking photos and recording videos. Users can switch on the camera, zoom in or out, and capture images. A selfie mode is available, and the flash can be toggled on or off. When using the flash, a safe distance should be maintained from people or animals, and the flash should not be covered. Videos can also be recorded, and both photos and videos can be viewed immediately after capture or later through the "Photos" or "Videos" menus. Storing videos on a memory card is recommended for more space.

Entertainment: The phone features a music player for MP3 files, which must be stored on a memory card. Wireless headphones can be used by pairing them via Bluetooth. An FM radio is also available, requiring a compatible headset to be connected as an antenna. Videos can be played through the "Videos" menu, with options to pause or resume playback.

Office Tools: The device includes an alarm clock, which can be set with specific times and saved. A calendar allows users to add event reminders, with options to set the time and reminder duration. Calendar entries can be viewed and deleted. The phone's time and date can be manually adjusted by switching off auto-update and setting the values using the scroll key.

Maintenance Features

Device Care: Users are advised to handle the device, battery, charger, and accessories with care. Key recommendations include:

• Keeping the device dry to prevent corrosion from liquids.
• Avoiding dusty or dirty environments.
• Storing the device within optimal temperature ranges (15°C to 25°C) to prevent damage from extreme heat or cold.
• Not opening the device except as instructed in the user guide to avoid unauthorized modifications.
• Avoiding dropping, knocking, or shaking the device.
• Cleaning the device surface with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
• Not painting the device, as it can hinder proper operation.
• Switching the device off and removing the battery periodically for optimal performance.

Battery and Charger Safety: Important safety guidelines for batteries and chargers include:

• Using only original BL-4UL rechargeable batteries and AC-18 chargers approved by Microsoft Mobile.
• Switching off the device and unplugging the charger before removing the battery.
• Unplugging the charger when not in use.
• Keeping batteries within the recommended temperature range (15°C to 25°C) for optimal performance and lifespan.
• Avoiding accidental short-circuiting of the battery.
• Not disposing of batteries in fire.
• Not dismantling, cutting, crushing, bending, puncturing, or damaging the battery.
• If a battery leaks, avoiding contact with skin or eyes and seeking medical help if contact occurs.
• Not modifying, inserting foreign objects into, or immersing the battery in liquids.
• Discontinuing use of a damaged battery or charger and taking it to a service center.
• Charging the device indoors and avoiding charging during lightning storms.

Recycling: Users are encouraged to return used electronic products, batteries, and packaging materials to dedicated collection points for proper recycling. This helps prevent uncontrolled waste disposal and promotes the recovery of valuable materials. The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on the product indicates that it should not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste.

Security and Data Management: The phone uses various access codes for security:

• PIN or PIN2 code: Protects the SIM card and access to certain features. Users can set the phone to ask for the PIN on startup. If forgotten or not supplied, the network service provider should be contacted. Incorrect entry three times requires a PUK or PUK2 code to unblock.
• PUK or PUK2 code: Required to unblock PIN or PIN2 codes. If not supplied, contact the network service provider.
• Security code (lock code/password): Protects the phone against unauthorized use. The default code is 12345, and users are advised to change it and keep it secret. If forgotten and the phone is locked, service will be required, potentially incurring charges and data loss.
• IMEI: Used to identify the phone on the network. It can be viewed by dialing *#06# and is also found on the phone label under the battery and on the sales box.

Content Management: Users can share content like contacts, photos, and videos using "Slam via Bluetooth" by moving the phone close to another Bluetooth-enabled device. For security, it's recommended to operate in hidden mode and only accept connections from trusted sources. Content can be copied between the phone and a computer using a USB cable, selecting "Mass storage" on the phone, and then dragging and dropping files.

Removing Private Content: Before disposing of or recycling the phone, users can remove personal data:

• Messages: Delete all via "Messaging > Options > Delete more > Options > Choose all."
• Contacts: Delete all via "Contacts > Options > Delete contacts > Options > Choose all."
• Call info: Clear via "Call log > Clear call log > All calls."
• To remove all content and restore original settings, type *#7370# on the home screen. Note that content on the memory card is not removed by this action.

Protection from Harmful Content: Users are advised to take precautions against viruses and harmful content:

• Be cautious when opening messages, accepting connectivity requests, browsing the internet, or downloading content.
• Only install and use services and software from trusted sources.
• Install antivirus software and use only one antivirus app at a time.
• Exercise caution when accessing third-party internet sites.

Medical Devices and Vehicles:

• Medical Devices: Radio signals may interfere with inadequately shielded medical devices. A minimum separation of 15.3 cm (6 inches) between the wireless device and implanted medical devices is recommended. Users with such devices should not carry the phone in a breast pocket, hold it to the ear opposite the medical device, and switch it off if interference is suspected.
• Vehicles: Radio signals may affect electronic systems in vehicles. Only qualified personnel should install the device in a vehicle. Flammable or explosive materials should not be stored near the device, and the device should not be placed in air bag deployment areas.

Potentially Explosive Environments: The device must be switched off in potentially explosive environments, such as near petrol pumps, chemical plants, or blasting operations, as sparks could cause an explosion or fire. These areas may not always be clearly marked.

Hearing Safety: When using a headset, users should be aware that their ability to hear outside sounds may be affected and should avoid using it where safety is compromised. Some wireless devices may interfere with hearing aids.
