Troubleshooting

Q: What is my password for the PIN or PUK codes?

  • A: If you forget a PIN or PUK code, or if you have not received such a code, contact your network service provider.

    For information about passwords, contact your access point provider, for example, a commercial internet service provider (ISP) or network service provider.

Q: What should I do if I start my device for the first time and nothing appears on the display?

  • A: Make sure that the battery is inserted properly, the power cord is attached to the device, and the power is switched on. Try to restart the device. If this does not help, contact your device dealer.

Q: Why can't my device establish a GPS connection?

  • A: Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to several minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in a vehicle may take longer. If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal. If you are outdoors, move to a more open space. Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS antenna of your device. If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected. Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite signals.

Q: Why can’t I find my friend’s device while using Bluetooth connectivity?

  • A: Check that both devices are compatible, have activated Bluetooth connectivity, and are not in hidden mode. Check also that the distance between the two devices is not over 10 meters (33 feet) and that there are no walls or other obstructions between the devices.

Q: How can I close a Bluetooth connection?

  • A: To close an active Bluetooth connection, select the status area and Bluetooth > Devices , and select the device and Edit > Disconnect . If another device is connected to your device, you can also close the connection from the other device.

    To deactivate Bluetooth connectivity, select the status area and Bluetooth, and clear the Bluetooth on check box.

Q: Why can't I see a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point even though I know I'm within its range?

  • A: The WLAN access point may use a hidden service set identifier (SSID). You can only access networks that use a hidden SSID if you know the correct SSID, and have created a Wi-Fi internet access point for the network on your device.

Q: How do I deactivate Wi-Fi off on my Nokia device?

  • A: Select the status area and Internet connection, and disconnect the Wi-Fi connection.
