try to use a shared memory feature. In this case, delete some of the information or
entries stored in the shared memory features before continuing. Some of the features,
such as photos, images, tones in gallery, text messages, and applications may have a
certain memory specially allotted to them in addition to the memory shared with other

Minibrowser is a network service. See Network services, 6 for more information.
Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services on the
mobile internet. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, then you can
view weather reports, check news or flight times, view financial information, and much
more. The web browser on your phone can display WAP-based content.
Your device may have some bookmarks loaded for sites not affiliated with Nokia. Nokia
does not warrant or endorse these sites. If you choose to access them, you should take
the same precautions, for security and content, as you would with any internet site.
■ Mobile internet access
Because mobile internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your
wireless provider is now your mobile internet service provider as well.
It is likely that your wireless provider has created a home page and set up your browser
to go to this page when you log on to the mobile internet. Once at your service
provider’s home page, you may find links to a number of other sites.
It should not be necessary to manually configure the browser on your phone. Normally
this is done by your wireless provider once you have subscribed to the feature. Contact
your wireless provider if you have problems using the browser.
■ Sign on to the mobile internet
At the start screen, select Menu > Minibrowser > Connect.
After a brief pause, your phone attempts to connect to your wireless provider’s home
page. If you receive an error message, your phone may not be set up for browsing.
Contact your wireless provider to make sure that your phone is configured properly.

Check the model number of any charger before use with this
device. This device is intended for use when supplied with
power from ACP-7 or ACP-12.
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers and enhancements approved by Nokia
for use with this particular model. The use of any other types may invalidate
any approval or warranty, and may be dangerous. For availability of approved
enhancements, please check with your dealer.
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of reach of
small children.
A few practical rules about accessories and enhancements:
• Keep all accessories and enhancements out of the reach of small children.
• When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory or enhancement, grasp and
pull the plug, not the cord.
• Check regularly that enhancements installed in a vehicle are mounted and are
operating properly.
• Installation of any complex car enhancements must be made by qualified personnel
only.
For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer.
This section provides information about your phone’s batteries, enhancements,
chargers, safety guidelines and technical information. Be aware that the information in
this section is subject to change as batteries, chargers, and enhancements change.
■ Batteries and chargers
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new battery
is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery
can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When
the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use
only Nokia approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Nokia approved
chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not
leave the battery connected to a charger after the battery has finished charging.
Overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time. Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is
damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic
object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.) This
might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse.
Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter
conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the
battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A device with a hot or cold battery may
not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is
particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated
with care. The suggestions below will help you protect your warranty coverage and
enjoy your device for many years.
• Keep the device dry.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic
components can be damaged.
• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal
temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit
boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit
boards and fine mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper
operation.
• Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the device and may violate regulations
governing radio devices.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any
enhancement. If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized
service facility for service.
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
enhancements 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 inches (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 AIDs
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference
occurs, consult your service provider.
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.
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 the 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
following values are the highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC:
When tested for use at the ear:
Nokia 6012: 1.24 W/kg
Nokia 6015i: 1.28 W/kg
When worn on the body, as described in this user guide:
Nokia 6012: 0.93 W/kg
Nokia 6015i: 1.00 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:
QMNRM-20 for the Nokia 6012
QMNRH-55 for the Nokia 6015i
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 7/8 inch (2.2 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 enhancement and are not holding the phone at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) from your body when the phone is
switched on.
*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/us.

A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique combination of
convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone. Quite simply, the
wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate by voice—almost
anywhere, anytime—with the boss, with a client, with the kids, with emergency
personnel or even with the police. Each year, Americans make billions of calls from their
wireless phones, and the numbers are rapidly growing.But an important responsibility
accompanies those benefits, one that every wireless phone user must uphold. When
driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. A wireless phone can be an invaluable
tool, but good judgment must be exercised at all times while driving a motor vehicle—
whether on the phone or not.The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers.
Driving requires alertness, caution and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic
common sense—keep your head up, keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors
frequently and watch out for other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs and
signals and staying within the speed limit. It means using seatbelts and requiring other
passengers to do the same. But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little
more. This brochure is a call to wireless phone users everywhere to make safety their
first priority when behind the wheel of a car. Wireless telecommunications is keeping us
in touch, simplifying our lives, protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities
to help others in need. When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most
important call.
Wireless Phone "Safety Tips"
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless phone which should be
easy to remember.
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to
memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without taking
your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free wireless phone
accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of
these devices if available to you.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your wireless
phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without removing your eyes
from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let
your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the
person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in
heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be
hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an
address book or business card, or writing a "to do" list while driving a car, you are
not watching where you are going. It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a
dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention to
the road or nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving
or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip or
attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red
light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple
tip—dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix—they are distracting
and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you are
talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations which
have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the greatest
tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations—with
your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical
emergency. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless phone provides
you a perfect opportunity to be a "Good Samaritan" in your community. If you see an
auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in
danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do
for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless nonemergency assistance number
when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require
attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But you
still can use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no
one appears injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or
other special non-emergency wireless number.
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent a hazard to
everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association and the wireless industry have conducted educational outreach to inform
wireless phone users of their responsibilities as safe drivers and good citizens. As we
approach a new century, more and more of us will take advantage of the benefits of
wireless telephones. And, as we take to the roads, we all have a responsibility to drive
safely.The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.For more
information, please call 1-888-901-SAFE.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels
of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health
effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating
effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that
some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in
reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
2. What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer
products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs
or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless
phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to
the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to
notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that
the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has
urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the
following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type
emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that
is not necessary for device function; and
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible
information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have
responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the
federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Communications Commission
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group
activities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States
must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA
and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones. FCC also
regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon. While these
base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the
RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of
times lower than those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus
not the subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in
antennas, often called cell mobile or PCS phones. These types of wireless phones can
expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short
distance between the phone and the user’s head. These RF exposures are limited by
Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with
the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is
located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower
because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the
source. The so-called cordless phones; which have a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus
produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have
suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the
