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. 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.
