or otherwise damage the battery in any way.
If a battery leaks, do not let liquid touch skin
or eyes. If this happens, immediately flush
the affected areas with water, or seek
medical help. Do not modify, attempt to
insert foreign objects into the battery, or
immerse or expose it to water or other
liquids. Batteries may explode if damaged.
Use the battery and charger for their
intended purposes only. Improper use, or use
of unapproved or incompatible batteries or
chargers may present a risk of fire,
explosion, or other hazard, and may
invalidate any approval or warranty. If you
believe the battery or charger is damaged,
take it to a service centre before continuing
to use it. Never use a damaged battery or
charger. Only use the charger indoors.

Operating environment
This device meets radio frequency exposure
guidelines in the normal use position at the
ear or at least 1.5 centimetres (5/8 inch)
away from the body. Any carry case, belt clip,
or holder for body-worn operation should
not contain metal and should position the
device the above-stated distance from your
body.
The sending of data files or messages
requires a quality network connection and
may be delayed until such a connection is
available. Follow the separation distance
instructions until the sending is completed.
Vehicles
Radio signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in vehicles. For more info, check with the
manufacturer of your vehicle or its
equipment.
Only qualified personnel should install the
device in a vehicle. Faulty installation may be
dangerous and invalidate your warranty.
Check regularly that all wireless device
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly. Do not store or carry
flammable or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the device, its parts, or
accessories. Do not place your device or
accessories in the air bag deployment area.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch your device off in potentially
explosive environments, such as near petrol
pumps. Sparks may cause an explosion or fire
resulting in injury or death. Note restrictions
in areas with fuel; chemical plants; or where
blasting operations are in progress. Areas
with a potentially explosive environment may
not be clearly marked. These usually are
areas where you are advised to switch your
engine off, below deck on boats, chemical
transfer or storage facilities, and where the
air contains chemicals or particles. Check
with the manufacturers of vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane) if this device can be safely used in
their vicinity.
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 organisation 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
50
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
0.93 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.
