Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be
attracted to the device. 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.

Implanted medical devices

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a
minimum separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) should
be maintained between a wireless device and an implanted

A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n

92

medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted
cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference
with the medical device. Persons who have such devices
should:

•

Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3
centimeters (6 inches) from the medical device when
the wireless device is turned on.

•

Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.

•

Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical
device to minimise the potential for interference.

•

Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

•

Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer
of their implanted medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless device
with an implanted medical device, consult your health care
provider.

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, and air bag systems. For more information, check
with the manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle
or any equipment that has been added.

Only qualified personnel should service the device or install
the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply
to the device. 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 enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an

A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n

94

air bag, remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do
not place objects, including installed or portable wireless
equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury
could result.

Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited.
Switch off your device before boarding an aircraft. The use
of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous to
the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone
network, and may be illegal.

■

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the
device at refuelling points such as near gas pumps at service
stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment

A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n

95

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 below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities and areas 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.

Emergency calls

Important: This device operates using radio
signals, wireless networks, landline networks,
and user-programmed functions. If your device

supports voice calls over the internet (internet calls),
activate both the internet calls and the cellular phone. The
device will attempt to make emergency calls over both the
cellular networks and through your internet call provider if
both are activated. Connections in all conditions cannot be
guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any wireless

A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n

96

device for essential communications like medical
emergencies.

To make an emergency call:

1. If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate

signal strength. Depending on your device, you may also
need to complete the following:

•

Insert a SIM card if your device uses one.

•

Remove certain call restrictions you have activated
in your device.

•

Change your profile from offline or flight profile
mode to an active profile.

2. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the

display and ready the device for calls.

3. Enter the official emergency number for your present

location. Emergency numbers vary by location.

4. Press the call key.

When making an emergency call, give all the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Your wireless device

A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n

97

may be the only means of communication at the scene of an
accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.

Certification information (SAR)

This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio
waves.

Your mobile 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 mobile 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

A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n

98

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

and 0.69 W/kg for RM-366.

Use of device accessories and enhancements 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.
