Warnings:
1. IF THE DEVICE CAN BE INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE, CARE
MUST BE TAKEN ON INSTALLATION IN VEHICLES FITTED
WITH ELECTRONIC ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND
ANTI-SKID BRAKING SYSTEMS. UNDER CERTAIN FAULT
CONDITIONS, EMITTED RF ENERGY CAN AFFECT THEIR
OPERATION. IF NECESSARY, CONSULT THE VEHICLE
DEALER/MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE THE IMMUNITY
OF VEHICLE ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS TO RF ENERGY.

Warnings and Cautions
2. THE product MUST NOT BE OPERATED IN AREAS LIKELY TO
CONTAIN POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES EG
PETROL STATIONS (SERVICE STATIONS), BLASTING
AREAS ETC.
3. OPERATION OF ANY RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT,
INCLUDING CELLULAR TELEPHONES, MAY INTERFERE
WITH THE FUNCTIONALITY OF INADEQUATELY PROTECTED MEDICAL DEVICES. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN OR
THE MANUFACTURER OF THE MEDICAL DEVICE IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. OTHER ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO INTERFERENCE.
Cautions:
1. Servicing and alignment must be undertaken by qualified personnel only.
2. Ensure all work is carried out at an anti-static workstation and
that an anti-static wrist strap is worn.
3. Ensure solder, wire, or foreign matter does not enter the telephone as damage may result.
4. Use only approved components as specified in the parts list.
5. Ensure all components, modules screws and insulators are correctly re-fitted after servicing and alignment. Ensure all cables
and wires are repositioned correctly.
QUALIFIED SERVICE
Only qualified personnel may install or repair phone equipment.
ACCESSORIES AND BATTERIES
Use only approved accessories and batteries. Do not connect incompatible
products.
CONNECTING TO OTHER DEVICES
When connecting to any other device, read its user’s guide for detailed safety
instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
ESD protection
Nokia requires that product service points have sufficient
ESD protection (against static electricity) when servicing
products.
Any product of which the covers are removed must be handled with ESD protection. The SIM card can be replaced
without ESD protection if the product is otherwise ready for
use.
To replace the covers ESD protection must be applied.
All electronic parts of the product are susceptible to ESD.
Resistors, too, can be damaged by static electricity discharge.
All ESD sensitive parts must be packed in metallized protective bags during shipping and handling outside any ESD
Protected Area (EPA).
Every repair action involving opening the product or handling the product components must be done under ESD
protection.
ESD protected spare part packages MUST NOT be
opened/closed out of an ESD Protected Area.
For more information and local requirements about ESD
protection and ESD Protected Area, contact your local
Nokia After Market Services representative.
Note that a new battery's full performance 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 operating time (talk-time and standby time) is
noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge the
battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. Unplug the
charger when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for
longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused
a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
For good operation times with Ni-Cd/NiMh batteries, discharge the battery
from time to time by leaving the product switched on until it turns itself off (or
by using the battery discharge facility of any approved accessory available
for the product). Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a
metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery) 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 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A
phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. Batteries' performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose as household waste.
The product is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be
treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfil any warranty
obligations and to enjoy this product for many years.
Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small
children.
Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts can be
damaged.
Do not store the phone in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life
of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
Do not store the phone in cold areas. When it warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form inside, which may damage electronic circuit
boards.
Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean
the phone.
Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper
operation.
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorised
antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the phone and may violate regulations governing radio devices.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to the product, battery, charger or
any accessory.
Our policy is of continuous development; details of all technical modifications
will be included with service bulletins.
While every endeavour has been made to ensure the accuracy of this document, some errors may exist. If any errors are found by the reader, NOKIA
