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 0.83 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.

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 1.25 W/kg and when properly worn
on the body is 1.10 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-214.

Hearing aid compatibility (HAC)

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.
