Additional safety information

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.

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 Send 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

Additional safety information

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 1.30 W/kg, and when properly work on the body is 0.79 W/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.

This device model complies with the requirements of the FCC rules governing
hearing aid compatibility. Device models meeting these requirements have an
M3 microphone or higher rating. The M-rating, shown on the device, refers to
lower RF emissions levels. A higher M-rating generally indicates that a device
model has a lower RF emissions level which may improve the likelihood that the
device will successfully operate with certain hearing aids. Some hearing aids are
more immune than others 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 can be found at
www.nokiaaccessibility.com/.
