Additional safety information
■ Operating environment
Your phone 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 phone when its use is prohibited
or when it may cause interference or danger. Use the phone
only in its normal operating positions. This phone meets RF
exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position
against the ear or when positioned at least 20 millimeters
(4/5 inch) 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 phone the above-stated distance
from your body.
In order to transmit data files or messages, this phone 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 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.

Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) 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 phone more than 15.3 centimeters
(6 inches) from their pacemaker.
•
Not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•
Hold the phone to the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.
If you suspect interference, switch off your phone and move
the phone 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,
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 phone, or install
the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply to
the phone. 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 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.
FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless phone 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 phone 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 phone at refueling
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 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 phone,
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 phone for essential communications like
medical emergencies.
To make an emergency call, make sure your phone 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. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the
display and ready the phone for calls.
2. Enter the official emergency number for your present
location and press the send 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. 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 phone
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 0.668
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.
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

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 1.37 W/kg and when properly worn on the body is
0.537
W/kg. Information about this device model can be
found at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid by searching the
equipment authorization system using FCC ID QMNRM-215.

■ Hearing aid compatibility (HAC)
Warning: For hearing aid compatibility, you must
turn off the Bluetooth connectivity.
Your mobile device model complies with FCC rules governing
hearing aid compatibility. These rules require an M3 microphone
or higher value. The M-value, shown on the device box, refers
to lower radio frequency (RF) emissions. 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 are to interference. Please consult your
hearing health professional to determine the M-rating of your
hearing aid and whether your hearing aid will work with this
device. More information on accessibility can be found at
www.nokiaaccessibility.com.
For best results, fully extend the antenna for hearing
aid compatibility.
