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 and may
invalidate your warranty. 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 your device or accessories in the air
bag deployment area.
Switch off your 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 your 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 refueling 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 determine if this device can be safely used in their
vicinity.
Wet or dusty conditions
Important: Accessories for use with this device are
not as durable or water-resistant as the device. For example,
chargers should only be used in dry conditions, never when
damp or wet.
Water-resistance means resistance against cold, clean
•
fresh water only. Do not expose the device to any other
type of liquid, such as sea water.
Do not submerge your device in water.
•
If the device has been exposed to water, wipe it off with
•
a dry cloth. If it has been exposed to any other liquid,
immediately splash some clean fresh water onto the
device. Wipe the device carefully dry.
Product and safety information
Do not charge the device or connect anything to the
•
connectors if they are dusty, wet, or damp.
If the connectors are dusty, open the connector cover
•
of the device and splash clean freshwater onto the
connectors to remove the dust. Wipe the device and
connector area dry carefully, and let the inside of the
connectors dry.
Only open the back cover in dry and clean conditions,
•
and wipe the device dry and clean before opening the
back cover to prevent water or dust from reaching the
interior of the device. Make sure the interior of your
device and the back cover seals are dry, clean, and free
of any foreign objects, as they may damage the seals
against water.
Certification information (SAR)
This cellular device meets guidelines for exposure to
radio waves.
Your cellular device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines
were developed by the independent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for cellular 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.
The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of
the device at the ear is 0.94 W/kg .
Use of device accessories may result in different SAR values.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and
testing requirements and the network band. Additional SAR
information may be provided under product information at
www.nokia.com.
Your cellular device is also designed to meet the
requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the
Federal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry
Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg
averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value
reported under this standard during product certification for
use at the ear is 1.53 W/kg and when properly worn on the
body is 1.14 W/kg .
