Additional safety information
■ Operating environment
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of the
reach of small children.
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch
off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or
danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions. This device meets
RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the
ear or when positioned at least 2.2 cm (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.
In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a good 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.
■ 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.
PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15.3 cm) be maintained between a wireless device or phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research. To minimize the potential for interference, persons with
pacemakers should
•
Always keep the device more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker
when the device is switched on
•
Not carry the device in a breast pocket
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n
93
•
Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off
your device immediately.
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, 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 an
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.
FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless device while in the air. The use of
wireless telephones 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
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n
94
storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane), and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,
dust or metal powders.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of
telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both.
■ 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, make sure your device is properly charged before
attempting any emergency calls. If your battery becomes empty, you cannot
receive or make calls, including emergency calls and must wait a few minutes
after the charging begins to place your call.
1. If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength. Some
networks may require that a valid UIM (CDMA 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, and press the
call key. Emergency numbers vary by location
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 an offline or flight mode you
must change the profile to activate the device function before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider. 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 MODEL PHONE MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards and guidelines
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of the public,
regardless of age and health and to account for any variations in measurements.
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 international
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 well 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 when tested
according to international testing procedures for use at the ear is 0.64 W/kg.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements
and the network band. Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in
different SAR values. Additional SAR information may be provided under product
information at www.nokia.com.
USA and Canada: The SAR limit of USA (FCC) and Canada (IC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged
over one gram of tissue. This device model has also been tested against this SAR
limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product
certification for use at the ear is 1.08 W/kg and when properly worn on the body
is 0.69 W/kg. Information about this device can be found on the FCC's website at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid by searching the equipment authorization system
using FCC ID: QMNRM-59.
