■ 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 of
when positioned at least 7/8 inch (2.2 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 at least 7/8 inch (2.2 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.

■ 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.
To minimize the potential for interference, persons with pacemakers should

•

Always keep the device more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker
when the device is switched on

•

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 have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your
device immediately.

Reference information

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 an 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.

■ 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.

FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless device 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.

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:

1. If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.

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 an 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. 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 MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS 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) energy adopted by the
governments of the USA through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and Canada through Industry Canada (IC). These limits establish permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety 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 adopted by the USA and Canada
is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public to account
for any variations in measurements. 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
well 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 reported to the FCC and IC for this device type when tested
for use at the ear is 1.27W/kg, and when properly work on the body is 0.78W/kg. SAR
information on file with the FCC can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID QMNRM-19. SAR values
reported in other countries may vary depending on differences in reporting and
testing requirements and the network band. Additional SAR information may be
provided under product information at www.nokia.com.
