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 in. (15.3 cm) 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 6 in. (15.3 cm) from the pacemaker;

•

not carry the device in a breast pocket; and

•

hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise 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 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 phone 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 phone for

calls.

3. Press and hold the middle selection key and select the digits of the emergency number

for your present location (e.g. 112, 911 or other official emergency number) one by one
from the character bar. 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. If the device is in offline or flight mode you must change the profile
to activate the phone function before you can make an emergency call. Consult this guide or
your service provider for more information.

To make an emergency call with no SIM card inserted

To make an emergency call with no SIM card inserted in the phone press and hold the call
key for 1.5 seconds. You are asked if you want to make an emergency call.

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 organisation 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 of a number of factors such as how close you are
to the network base station. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of
the device at the ear is 0.65 W/kg

This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position
against the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 cm 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 product at least 1.5 cm away from your body.

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.
