guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when
positioned at least 2.2 centimeters (5/8 inch) 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 the above-stated distance from your body.

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 that the above separation distance instructions
are followed until the transmission is completed.

Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the device.
Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the device, because
information stored on them may be erased.

Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless devices, 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.

Implanted medical devices

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a minimum separation of 15.3
centimeters (6 inches) should be maintained between a wireless device and an implanted
medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid
potential interference with the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:

Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the
medical device when the wireless device is turned on.

Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.

Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device to minimize the
potential for interference.

Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.

Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of their implanted
medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical
device, consult your health care provider.

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, and 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 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.

Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device before
boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless devices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the
operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.

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 refueling 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 and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. You should check with the manufacturers
of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to determine if
this device can be safely used in their vicinity.

Emergency calls

Important: Wireless devices, including this device, 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 device 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.

Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the device.

2. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the device

for calls.

3. Enter the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency numbers

vary by location.

4. Press the call 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 the flight mode, you must change the
profile to activate the device function before you can make an emergency call.
Consult this guide or your service provider for more information.

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 mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines.
These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP
and include safety margins designed to assure the protection 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 stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is
2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted
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 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 under the
ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the ear is 0.71 W/kg.

Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR
values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the
network band. Additional SAR information may be provided under product information
at www.nokia.com.

Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio
waves established by the Federal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry
Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of
tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification
for use at the ear is 1.20 W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 0.72 W/kg.
Information about this device model can be found at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
by searching the equipment authorization system using FCC ID: QMNRM-277.
