Additional safety information
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts.
Keep them out of the reach of small children.
■ Operating environment
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 centimeters (7/8 inches) 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
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
56
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.

Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained
between a wireless 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. Persons with pacemakers should:
•
Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters
(6 inches) from the pacemaker
•
Not carry the device in a breast pocket
•
Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.
If you suspect interference, switch off your device and move
the device away.
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 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, vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and
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
60
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
■ 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.
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
61
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.
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
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
62
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 at the ear is
0.61 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.
