IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

■ Traffic Safety

Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. Always secure the phone in its
holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or where it can break loose in a
collision or sudden stop.

Remember road safety always comes first!

■ Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off your
phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger.

Use the phone only in its normal operating positions.

Parts of the phone are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the phone, and
persons with a hearing aid should not hold the phone to the ear with the hearing aid. Always
secure the phone in its holder, because metallic materials may be attracted by the earpiece.
Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the phone, because
information stored on them may be erased.

■ Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
phone.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 20 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a handheld 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 phone more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when
the phone is switched on;

•

Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

•

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.

•

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your phone
immediately.

Hearing aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your service provider.

Other medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular 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 phone 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.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles (e.g. electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking
systems, electronic speed control systems, air-bag systems). Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted facilities

Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.

■ Potentially explosive atmospheres

Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey
all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.

Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refuelling point (service station). Users
are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots
(fuel 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 liquified
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

■ Vehicles

Only qualified personnel should service the phone, or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty
installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty which may apply
to the unit.

Check regularly that all wireless phone 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 phone, its parts or accessories.

For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great force. Do
not place objects, including both 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 phone while in the air is prohibited. Switch off your phone before boarding an
aircraft. 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.

Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of telephone services
to the offender, or legal action or both.

■ Emergency calls

Important: This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
wireless and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions. Because
of this, connections in all conditions can not be guaranteed. Therefore, you
should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communications
(e.g. medical emergencies).

Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain
network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIO

150

To make an emergency call:

1. If the phone is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength. Disconnect the

connectivity cable, if attached.

Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the phone.

2. Press

as many times as needed (e.g. to exit a call, to exit a menu, etc.) to clear the

display and ready the phone for calls.

3. Key in the emergency number for your present location (e.g. 112 or other official

emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.

4. Press the

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 and your local cellular service provider.

When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone may be the only means of
communication at the scene of an accident - do not cut off the call until given permission to
do so.

■ Certification information (SAR)

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy recommended by The
Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were
developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIO

151

The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the
European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard operating
positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station
antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European
R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the
protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. The highest SAR
value for this model phone when tested for compliance against the standard was 0.

77 W/kg.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.

* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR
values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. For
SAR information in other regions please look under product information at www.nokia.com.
