Safety

Read these simple guidelines. Not following them may be dangerous or illegal.

SWITCH OFF IN RESTRICTED AREAS

Switch the device off when mobile phone use is not allowed or when it may cause interference or danger, for example, in aircraft, in hospitals or near medical equipment, fuel, chemicals, or

blasting areas. Obey all instructions in restricted areas.

ROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST

Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands free to operate the vehicle while driving. Your first consideration while driving should be road safety.

INTERFERENCE

All wireless devices may be susceptible to interference, which could affect performance.

QUALIFIED SERVICE

Only qualified personnel may install or repair this product.

BATTERIES, CHARGERS, AND OTHER ACCESSORIES

Use only batteries, chargers, and other accessories approved by Nokia for use with this device. Do not connect incompatible products.

KEEP YOUR DEVICE DRY

Your device is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.

GLASS PARTS

The device screen is made of glass. This glass can break if the device is dropped on a hard

surface or receives a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, do not touch the glass parts of the device or attempt to remove the broken glass from the device. Stop using the device until the glass is replaced by qualified service personnel.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.

Exercise caution when holding your device near your ear while the loudspeaker is in use.

SAR

This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against

the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 centimetres (5/8 inch) away from the body. The specific maximum SAR values can be found in the Certification Information (SAR) section of this user guide. For more info, go to www.sar-tick.com.

When a carry case, belt clip or other form of device holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should provide at least the above-stated separation distance from the body. Note that mobile devices may be transmitting even if you are not making a voice call.

Avoid touching the antenna area while the antenna is in use. Contact with antennas affects the communication quality and may reduce battery life due to higher power level during operation.

Do not connect products that create an output signal, as this may damage the device. Do not connect any voltage source to the audio connector. If you connect an external device or headset, other than those approved for use with this device, to the audio connector, pay special attention to volume levels.

3. Open the SIM holder, and slide the SIM into the holder. Close the holder, and lock it into place. Make

sure the SIM contact area is face down.

1. Plug the charger into a wall outlet.

2. Connect the charger to the phone. When done, unplug the charger from the phone, then from the

wall outlet.

If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the charging indicator is displayed or before any calls can be made.

Tip: You can use USB charging when a wall outlet is not available. Data can be transferred while charging the device. The efficiency of USB charging power varies significantly, and it may take a long time for charging to start and the device to start functioning.
