Important Safety Information
Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle.
If using a hand-held phone park the vehicle before conversing.
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.
The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn on
public roads is not permitted.
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.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device,
read its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not
connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and
for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment
should only be used in the normal operating position (held to your
ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
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 6 inches (20 cm.) 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 6 inches (20 cm)
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 minimize the
potential for interference.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, switch off your phone immediately.
105
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 (for example, 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 while at a refueling
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 liquefied
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.
106
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.
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 the 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 which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone
for essential communications (for example, medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate signal strength.
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.
Making an Emergency Call
1.
If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2.
Key in the emergency number for your present location
(for example, 911 or other official emergency number).
Emergency numbers vary by location.
3.
Press .
107
Note: If certain features are in use (keyguard, restrict calls, etc.),
you may first need to turn those features off before you can
make an emergency call. Consult this document 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.
Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and 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 standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions specified by the FCC 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 wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for
each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 1.41 W/kg and when worn on the body,
as described in this users guide, is 1.34 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
108
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: GMLNSD-3AW.
For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines, use only Nokia approved accessories. When
carrying the phone while it is on, use the specific Nokia belt-clip
that has been tested for compliance.
Use of non-Nokia-approved accessories may violate FCC RF
exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
________________________________________________
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and
to account for any variations in measurements.
109
Care and Maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and
should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you
to fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this
product for many years. When using your phone, battery, charger,
OR any accessory:
• Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of small children’s
reach.
• Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
