11. Additional Safety Information

■ Operating environment

Remember to follow any special
regulations in force in any area and
always switch off your device when its
use is prohibited or when it may cause
interference or danger. Use the device
only in its normal operating positions. To
maintain compliance with radio
frequency exposure guidelines only use
enhancements approved by Nokia for use
with this device. When the device is on
and being worn on the body, always use
an approved holder or carrying case.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic
materials may be attracted to the device,
and persons with a hearing aid should
not hold the device to the ear with the
hearing aid. Always secure the device in
its holder, because metallic materials
may be attracted by the earpiece. Do not
place credit cards or other magnetic
storage media near the device, because
information stored on them may be
erased.

■ Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting
equipment, including wireless phones,
may interfere with the functionality of
inadequately protected medical devices.
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 device in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so.

using equipment that could be sensitive
to external RF energy.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend
that a minimum separation of 6 in. (15.3
cm) 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. Persons with
pacemakers should:
• always keep the device more than 6
in. (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker
when the device is switched on;
• not carry the device in a breast
pocket; and
• hold the device to the ear opposite
the pacemaker to minimise the
potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch off
your device immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may
interfere with some hearing aids. If
interference occurs, consult your service
provider.
