CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your game deck is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you protect your warranty coverage and enjoy your device for many years.

•Keep the game deck and all its parts and enhancements out of the reach of small children.

•Keep the game deck dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, remove the battery and allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.

•Do not use or store the game deck in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.

•Do not store the game deck in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.

•Do not store the game deck in cold areas. When it warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form inside which may damage electronic circuit boards.

•Do not attempt to open the game deck other than as instructed in this guide.

•Do not drop, knock, or shake the game deck. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and fine mechanics.

•Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the game deck.

•Do not paint the game deck. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.

•Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the game deck and may violate regulations governing radio devices.

N-GAGE QD specifications

The Nokia N-Gage QD, launched in 2004, is a unique handheld gaming device that merges mobile phone functionalities with gaming capabilities. As a successor to the original N-Gage, the QD introduced enhancements that aimed to rectify some of the earlier model's limitations while delivering an immersive gaming experience.

One of the standout features of the N-Gage QD is its robust gaming capabilities. It is equipped with a 104 MHz ARM920T processor and 16 MB of RAM, enabling smooth gameplay for various titles. The device supports 3D graphics through OpenGL ES 1.0, allowing for visually engaging gaming experiences. Gamers could enjoy a selection of popular titles, including “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater”, “Splinter Cell”, and “Vice City 3D”, positioning the N-Gage QD as a legitimate competitor in the mobile gaming space.

The N-Gage QD features a 2.1-inch TFT display with a resolution of 176 x 208 pixels, providing clear visuals for gaming and multimedia. The interface is user-friendly, featuring a D-pad, shortcut keys, and dedicated gaming buttons that allow for easy navigation and control during gameplay. The device also incorporates a unique side-slider design, making it more compact and portable than its predecessor.

Equipped with a dual-band GPRS phone, the N-Gage QD supports voice calls, SMS, and mobile internet browsing, adding to its versatility. Users can share gaming experiences through N-Gage Arena, a dedicated online gaming portal that supports multiplayer gaming and social interaction with other players.

In terms of memory, the N-Gage QD accepts MMC cards, allowing for expandable storage. Players could install new games, save progress, and store multimedia content without worrying about limited onboard memory. The battery life is commendable, with a capacity of 950 mAh, providing hours of gaming or talk time.

The N-Gage QD supports a range of connectivity options, including Bluetooth and USB, enabling users to connect to other devices or access data easily. Its sturdy build and aesthetic design made it a distinctive device in an era where many gaming consoles and mobile phones lacked such cross-functional capabilities.

In conclusion, the Nokia N-Gage QD exemplifies an ambitious attempt to blend mobile telephony with gaming, representing a significant step in the evolution of handheld entertainment devices.
