■ Antenna
Your device has two antennas:
• The fixed antenna is active unless the extendable
antenna is fully extended.
In the Nokia 6255i and 6256i phone, the GPS antenna is
also internal and is activated when placing emergency
calls or when On is selected from the Location info sharing
menu. For more information on location info sharing, see
“Location info sharing”, page 65.
Your device has a fixed and extendable antenna located
towards the top of the phone when the fold is closed.
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with
the antenna area pointed up and over your shoulder.
Note: As with any other radio transmitting
device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily
when the device 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. Not touching the
antenna area during a phone call optimizes
the antenna performance and the talktime of
your device.
■ Battery
Note: Before removing the cover, always switch off the power and disconnect
the charger and any other device.
Avoid touching electronic components while changing the covers.
Always store and use the device with the covers attached.
