17. Important safety information
Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle.
Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place the phone
on the passenger seat or where it can break loose in a collision
or sudden stop.
Remember road safety always comes first!
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any
area and always switch off your phone whenever it is
forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or
danger.
Use the phone only in its normal operating positions.
Parts of the phone are magnetic. Metallic materials may be
attracted to the phone, and persons with a hearing aid should
not hold the phone to the ear with the hearing aid. Always
secure the phone in its holder, because metallic materials may
be attracted by the earpiece. Do not place credit cards or
other magnetic storage media near the phone, because
information stored on them may be erased.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum separation of 20 cm (6 inches) be maintained
between a handheld 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 phone more than 20 cm (6 inches)
from their pacemaker when the phone is switched on;
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
•
Should use 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 phone immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your service provider.
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting
equipment, including cellular 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.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles
(e.g. electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid
(anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems,
air bag systems). Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Posted facilities
Switch your phone off in any facility where
posted notices so require.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refuelling
point (service station). Users are reminded of the need to
observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots (fuel 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 liquified
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders; and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles
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 which may apply
to the unit.
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
accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air
bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including
both 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 phone while in the air is prohibited. Switch off
your phone before boarding an aircraft. 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, or legal action
or both.
Emergency calls
IMPORTANT: This phone, like any wireless phone,
operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks as
well as user-programmed functions. Because of this,

connections in all conditions can not be guaranteed.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any wireless
phone for essential communications (e.g. medical
emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone
networks or when certain network services and/or phone
features are in use. Check with local service providers.
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 phone.
2
Press
as many times as needed (e.g. to exit a call,
to exit a menu, etc.) to clear the display and ready the
phone for calls.
3
Key in the emergency number for your present location
(e.g. 112 or other official emergency number). Emergency
numbers vary by location.
4
Press the
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 and your local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the
necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember
that your wireless phone may be the only means of
communication at the scene of an accident - do not cut off
the call until given permission to do so.
Certification information (SAR)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy recommended by The
Council of the European Union. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines were
developed by independent scientific organisations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European
Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been conducted using
standard operating positions with the phone 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 level of the phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value. This is because the phone 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 antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown.
This directive includes as one essential requirement the
protection of the health and the safety for the user and any
other person. The highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested for compliance against the standard was 0.35 W/

kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU
requirements for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The
limit incorporates 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.
