Additional safety information
Small children
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out
of the reach of small children.
Operating environment
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal
use position against the ear or when positioned at least 2.2 centimeters (7/8
inches) away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip, or holder is used
for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position
the device the above-stated distance from your body.
To transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection
to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may
be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation
distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the
device. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the
device, because information stored on them may be erased.
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones,
may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you
have any questions. Switch off your device in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health
care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a minimum separation
of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) should be maintained 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 when the wireless device is turned on.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device to
minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
• Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of their 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. If
interference occurs, consult your service provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control
systems, and air bag systems. For more information, check with the
manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or any equipment that
has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device or install the device in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate
any warranty that may apply to the device. 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 enhancements. For vehicles
equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags inflate with great force.
Do not place objects, including installed or portable wireless equipment in
the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. 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, disrupt the wireless telephone
network, and may be illegal.
Potentially explosive
environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive
atmospheres include areas where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device at refuelling
points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on
the use of radio equipment 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 below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities and
areas 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: Wireless phones, including this device, operate using
radio signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed
functions. Because of this, 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:
1. If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.
Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in
the device.
2. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready
the device for calls.
3. Enter the official emergency number for your present location.
Emergency numbers vary by location.
4. Press the call key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off
before you can make an emergency call. If the device is in the offline or flight
profile mode, you may need to change the profile to activate the phone
function before you can make an emergency call. Consult this guide or your
service provider for more information.
When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. Your wireless device may be the only means of
communication at the scene of an accident. Do not end the call until given
permission to do so.
CERTIFICATION 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 international
guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
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 measurement
known as the Specific 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 certified 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 1.40 W/kg.
Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different 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 exposure
to radio waves established by the Federal Communications Commission
(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 certification for use at the ear is 1.34 W/kg and
when properly worn on the body is 0.94 W/kg.
