 
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 
delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure 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
57
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, 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 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 
 
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
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 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, 
 
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
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.
 
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
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
63
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 0.64 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.
