This section provides information
about batteries, chargers, safety
guidelines and technical information.
Be aware that the information in this
section is subject to change as
batteries and chargers change.
■ Charging and
discharging batteries
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, replace the
battery. Use only Nokia approved
batteries, and recharge your battery
only with Nokia approved chargers
designated for this device.
If a replacement battery is being used
for the first time or if the battery has
not been used for a prolonged period,
it may be necessary to connect the
charger then disconnect and reconnect
it to begin charging the battery.
Unplug the charger from the electrical
plug and the device when not in use.
Do not leave a fully charged battery
connected to a charger, since
overcharging may shorten its lifetime.
If left unused, a fully charged battery
will lose its charge over time.
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 and its ability to charge.
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, as
they may explode. Batteries may also
explode if damaged. Do not provoke
short circuits. Do not dispose as
household waste. Dispose of batteries
according to local regulations. Please
recycle when possible.
■ Nokia battery

■ Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting
equipment, including wireless phones,
may interfere with the functionality of
inadequately protected medical
phones. 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
15.3 centimeters (6 inches) 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 minimise the
potential for interference, persons with
pacemakers should do the following:
• Hold the phone to the ear opposite
the pacemaker to minimise the
potential for interference
If you suspect interference, switch off
your device, and move the device
away.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones 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, 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 phone, or install the phone in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service
may be dangerous and may invalidate
any warranty that may apply to the
phone. Check regularly that all wireless
phone 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 phone,
its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles
equipped with an air bag, remember
that an air bag inflates 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 phone 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 phone 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.
■ Emergency calls
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, do the
following:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
Check for adequate signal strength.
2. Press the end key as many times 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 DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) recommended by international
guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population.
The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations
through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies.
The guidelines include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The exposure standard for mobile
devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
stated in the international guidelines is
2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg)*. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the device
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 of the device while
operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the
device 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 base station, the lower the power
output of the device.
The highest SAR value for this device
when tested for use at the ear is
0.78 W/kg.
SAR values may vary depending on
national reporting and testing
requirements and the network band.
Use of device accessories and
enhancements may result in different
SAR values. Additional SAR
information may be provided under
product information at
www.nokia-asia.com.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used
by the public is 2.0 W/kg averaged over
10 grams of body tissue. The guidelines
incorporate 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.
