Hearing aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, consult your wireless 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 it is adequately shielded from external RF energy, or if you
have any questions.

Switch off your phone in health care facilities when regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment that could be sensitive to RF energy.

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 emanating from your wireless phone.

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
regarding 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/
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 be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Vehicles

Only qualified personnel should install or service the phone in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and invalidate the
warranty.

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.

Ensure all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.

Don’t carry or store flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the phone or its accessories.

For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates
with great force. Don’t place any objects 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.

Aircraft

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, legal action, or both.

Emergency calls

Important: This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using
radio signals and cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for
essential communications (such as 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 wireless
providers for more information.

MAKING AN EMERGENCY CALL:

1

If the phone is not on, switch it on.

Important: Some networks may require that a valid SIM card be
properly inserted in the phone.

2

Press and hold

to return to the Start screen.

3

Enter the emergency number for your present location (for example,
911 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary
by location.

4

Press .

If certain features are in use (Keyguard, fixed dialing, and so on), you may
first need to turn those features off before you can make an emergency
call. Consult this guide and your local wireless provider for more
information.

When making an emergency call, remember to provide all information as
accurately and clearly as possible. Remember that your wireless phone
may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident -
don’t cut off the call until given permission to do so.

Certification Information

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 1.17 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.90 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.

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 LJP NPM-2NX.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the
FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the Nokia accessories
supplied or designated for this product. When carrying the phone while it
is on, place the phone in the specific carrying case that has been tested
for compliance.

Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

*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. 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 http://www.nokia.com.
