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 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 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 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 their pacemaker when
the device is switched on;
•
not carry the device in a breast pocket; 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
112
•
hold the device to 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 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 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.
■ Airplanes
Using your device while flying in aircraft may be 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
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
113
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 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.
3. Key in 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. 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.
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 DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL 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)
recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
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
114
general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the device 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 of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the device 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, the lower the power output of the
device.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is 0.70 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.
In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a 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.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate 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.
