operating properly. Do not store or carry fl ammable or explosive mate-
rials in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories.
Do not place your device or accessories in the air bag deployment area.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmo-
sphere, for example near gas pumps at service stations. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fi re resulting in bodily injury or death.
Observe restrictions in fuel service stations, storage, and distribution
areas; chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include areas where you would be advised to turn
off your vehicle engine, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or stor-
age facilities and where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust, or metal powders. You should check with the manufacturers
of vehicles using liquefi ed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to
determine if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
Certifi cation information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves. Your
mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by interna-
tional guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent
scientifi c organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to
assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measure-
ment known as the Specifi c Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit
stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certifi ed
power level in all tested frequency bands.
The actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the maximum
value because the device is designed to use only the power required to
reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of
factors such as how close you are to a network base station.
The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device
at the ear is 0.88 W/kg.
Use of device accessories may result in diff erent SAR values. SAR values
may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements
and the network band. Additional SAR information may be provided
under product information at www.nokia.com.
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for expo-
sure to radio waves established by the Federal Communications Com-
mission (USA) and Industry Canada.
These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram
of tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during
product certifi cation for use at the ear is 1.44 W/kg and when properly
worn on the body is 1.38 W/kg.
Information on health
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Federal Com-
munications Commission (FCC) published statements and questions and
answers concerning cellular telephones and health. Nokia encourages
you to visit these websites for updated information. You can access the
FDA website a, http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/Radia-
tionEmittingProductsandProcedures/HomeBusinessandEntertainment/
CellPhones/default.htm and the FCC website at http://transition.fcc.

Additional health-related information is available from the World Health
Organization (WHO) at http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/
fs193/en/ and The National Cancer Institute (“NCI”) at http://www.
cancer.gov/ncicancerbulletin/NCI_Cancer_Bulletin_092308/page7. In
the event that you are concerned about possible health eff ects, the FDA
suggests that you limit your own or your children’s radio frequency (RF)
exposure by limiting the length of calls or by using handsfree devices.
Safety and texting while driving
Safety should be every driver’s fi rst priority. Drivers must obey all local
laws that may include restrictions on the use of cellular telephones or
accessories while driving. If use is legal, always keep your hands free
