The Nokia 5300 Xpress Music is a slider cell phone that doubles as a music player. Released in 2007, the 5300 offers the standard features available on most mobile phones, but includes extra controls for the music player, including additional buttons on the outside of the phone to control your play list and expandable memory to store a large amount of music.
Setup
Prior to using the 5300, setup the battery and SIM card to ensure proper operation. Start by removing the battery cover on the back of the phone. Push the cover release button and pull out to remove the cover. The SIM card must be installed first as it sits behind the battery. To insert the SIM card, pull back on the SIM card holder and, with the contacts facing down, slide the card into place. Close the SIM card holder to lock it into place.
To insert the battery, slide the contact side into the slot on near the bottom of the phone and press the top of the battery into place. When both the SIM card and battery are properly inserted, replace the battery cover.
Charge the battery fully before using the camera for the first time and anytime the battery is depleted. To charge the battery, plug the battery charger into the bottom of the phone and connect it to a working power outlet.
Calls
The 5300 offers several methods to make a phone call. First, you can use the traditional method of making a call by sliding up the top portion of the 5300. Dial the number and press the "Call" button.
Another method is to make a call from the phonebook stored on your phone. To use this method, open the phonebook and scroll to or search for the name of the contact and press the "Call" button.
Finally, you can use the 1-touch dialing option. To use this feature, assign a phone number to buttons 2-9. When you want to make a call, press the 1-touch dialing number and press the "Call" button. You can also press and hold the number to make a call.
Music Player
Extra storage space on the 5300 allows you to add many albums worth of music to your phone. The 5300 can support MP3, AAC, AAC+ and enhanced AAC+ music files downloaded from the internet or transferred to your phone from your computer. The music is automatically detected when the phone is turned on.
To play music files, open "Menu" and select "Music Player." The music player will display on the LCD screen. You can control all aspects of the media player with the start/stop, fast forward and rewind buttons located on the left side of the phone. The middle "Select" button and the four scroll buttons provide additional operation controls for the music player.
