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.
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. 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 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.
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.
