This is a hidden menu in your Nokia Phone. If you want to active it you'll have to reprogram
some chips inside of your phone. For example the Nokia 6110 Network Monitor:

2. Take apart the phone.
3. Desolder the EEProm (ATMEL AT 24C64).
4. Read out the data with an EEProm progammer and save it to a file (backup).

6. If you have v5-24 then change 0378 from 00 to FF.

Revealing Hidden Menus of Nokia 6110
There are two menus on the Nokia 6100 series which are not enabled by defualt, and only appear when some optional accessories are fitted, namely the hands free kit or the car kit.
Note: The following instructions require you to short out certain contacts on your phone. Again, I will not hold responsible for any damages that may happen.
As you look at the bottom of the Nokia 6100 series, on the right, you should see 7 gold connectors in a row. For the following instructions I am going to refer to these as pins 1 to 7 with pin 1 the leftmost pin of the seven and pin 7 the rightmost pin.
Enabling The Hands Free/Headset Menu
Short out pins 1 and 2. After a few seconds, the word 'Headset' should appear on the display. You should now find that you have menu 3-6 enabled.
Enabling The Car Kit Menu
Short out pins 2 and 3. After a few seconds, the word 'Car' should appear on the display. You should now find that you have menu 3-7 enabled.
Removing The Menus
The only way to remove the menus is to select the 'Restore Factory Settings' option from the settings menu of your phone. When asked, enter your security code (by default it is 12345). Doing this will get rid of the menus, but will also set your ringtone back to it's default value and remove the uploaded ringtone if you had one in memory. It doesn't affect the game high scores, phone numbers etc.
