Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum

separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) between a wireless

device and an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker

or implanted cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential

interference with the medical device. Persons who have such

devices should:

Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3

centimeters (6 inches) from the medical device.

Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.

Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical

device.

Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to

suspect that interference is taking place.

Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted

medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless device

with an implanted medical device, consult your health care

provider.

Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some

hearing aids.

Hearing aids

Warning:

For hearing aid compatibility, you must turn off the Bluetooth

connectivity.

Your mobile device model complies with FCC rules governing

hearing aid compatibility. These rules require an M3

microphone or higher value. The M-value, shown on the

device box, refers to lower radio frequency (RF) emissions. A

higher M-value generally indicates that a device model has a

lower RF emissions level, which may improve the likelihood

that the device will operate with certain hearing aids. Some

hearing aids are more immune than others to interference.

Please consult your hearing health professional to determine

the M-rating of your hearing aid and whether your hearing

aid will work with this device. More information on

accessibility can be found at www.nokiaaccessibility.com.

This device has been tested and rated for use with hearing

aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses.

However, there may be some newer wireless technologies

used in this device that have not been tested yet for use with

hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of

this device thoroughly and in different locations, using your

hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine whether you

hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider

about its return and exchange policies and for information

on hearing aid compatibility.

Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately

shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as

electronic fuel injection, electronic antilock braking,

electronic speed control, and air bag systems. For more

information, check with the manufacturer of your vehicle or

its equipment.

Only qualified personnel should service the device or install

the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be

dangerous and may invalidate your warranty. Check regularly

that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted

and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable

liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same

compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories.

Remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place

your device or accessories in the air bag deployment area.

Switch off your device before boarding an aircraft. The use of

wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the

operation of the aircraft and may be illegal.

Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere. Obey all posted instructions. Sparks in such

areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily

injury or death. Switch off the device at refueling points such

as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions in

fuel depots, 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 storage 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 liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or

butane) to determine if this device can be safely used in their

vicinity.

Emergency calls

Important: This device operates using radio

signals, wireless networks, landline networks and user-

programmed functions. If your device supports voice calls

over the internet (internet calls), activate both the internet

calls and the cellular phone. The device will attempt to make

emergency calls over both the cellular networks and through

your internet call provider if both are activated. Connections

in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely

solely on any wireless device for essential communications

like medical emergencies.

To make an emergency call:

If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate

signal strength. Depending on your device, you may

also need to complete the following:
