Small children

Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of the
reach of small children.

Operating environment

This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position
against the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 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 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 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.

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.

Warning: For hearing aid compatibility, you must turn off the
Bluetooth connectivity.

Your mobile device model complies with FCC rules governing hearing aid compatibility.
These rules require an M3 microphone or higher value. The M-value, shown on the
device box, refers to lower radio frequency (RF) emissions. A higher M-value generally
indicates that a device model has a lower RF emissions level, which may improve the
likelihood that the device will operate with certain hearing aids. Some hearing aids
are more immune than others to interference. Please consult your hearing health

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 teledevices 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: This device operates using radio signals, wireless networks,
landline networks, and user-programmed functions. If your device supports
voice calls over the internet (internet calls), activate both the internet calls
and the cellular phone. The device will attempt to make emergency calls over
both the cellular networks and through your internet call provider if both are
activated. 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. Depending

on your device, you may also need to complete the following:

Insert a SIM card if your device uses one.

Remove certain call restrictions you have activated in your device.

Change your profile from offline or flight profile mode to an active profile.

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.

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 0.51 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 0.71 W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 0.55 W/kg.
