French Ministerial Order of 8th October 2003
This section only applies to France.
All Nokia products comply with international and, where adopted, country specific
standards and guidelines for limiting human exposure to electromagnetic fields.
These standards and guidelines were adopted after thorough reviews of the science.
Those reviews do not establish a link between the use of mobile devices and adverse
health effects when the device is operating within the standards and guidelines.
If you have concerns about exposure from handsets operating within the st andards
or guidelines, then, in accordance with French regulatory requirements we are
required to include in this User Guide the following guidance on precautionary
measures: you can limit exposure to radio frequency energy by either (a) using the
device in good reception conditions, or (b) using a hands-free kit to move the device
away from the head and body. In the latter situation, pregnant women should keep
the device away from their abdomen and adolescents should keep the device away
from their lower abdomen.
Hearing
Warning:
When you use a headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do
not use a headset where it can endanger your safety.
Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
Vehicles
Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection, electronic antilock
braking, electronic speed control, and air bag systems. For more information, check
with the manufacturer of your vehicle or its equipment.
Only qualified personnel should install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or
service may be dangerous . 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
accessories. Remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place the device
or accessories in the air bag deployment area.
Switch off the device before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless devices in an
aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may be illegal.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off the device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all
posted instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or death. Switch off the device at refue lling points such as near gas
pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions 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 areas where you would be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities and 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 de termine if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.

Operating environment
This device meets RF exposure guidelines in the normal use position at the ear or at
least 1.5 centimetre (5/8 inch) away from the body. Any carry case, belt clip, or holder
for body-worn operation should not contain metal and should position the device
the above-stated distance from your body.
To send data files or messages requires a quality connection to the network. Data
files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Follow the
separation distance instructions 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.
Certification information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
This mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to ra dio waves recommended by inte rnational guidelines.
These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation 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.
This cellular device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio
waves established by the F ederal Communications Co mmission (USA) and Industry
Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of
tissue.
