• 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. To maintain
compliance with radio frequency exposure guidelines only use accessories
approved by Nokia for use with this device. When the device is on and being worn
on the body, always use an approved carrying case.

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 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 in. (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

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

HEARING AID
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 phone is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.

2

Press End key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
phone for calls.

3

Key in the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency
numbers vary by location.

4

Press the Talk 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 or your service provider. 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 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 radio frequency (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 accepted
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 (for
example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.

The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for
use at the ear is 1.14 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 1.02 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon available enhancements 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. The FCC has granted
an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure 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 GMLRH-25.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for use with a carry case, belt clip, or holder that contains no metal and
that positions the handset a minimum of 5/8-inch (1.5 cm) from the body. Use of
other carry cases, belt clips, or holders may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding
the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 5/8-inch (1.5 cm) from
your body when the phone is switched on.

Reference Information

*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (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. 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.
