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 radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may

interfere with the function of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a

physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine whether they

are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Switch off your device when

regulations posted instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use

equipment sensitive to external RF energy.

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.
Your mobile device model complies with FCC rules governing hearing aid

compatibility. These require a M3 microphone or higher value. Your device M-value

is shown on the box. 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 whether your hearing aid will work with this device. More information

on accessibility can be found at www.nokiaaccessibility.com.
