your device only with an original rechargeable battery. The battery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.
When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, replace
the battery. Devices with a non-removable battery Do not attempt to remove the
battery, as you may damage the device. The battery can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the talk
and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, to replace the battery,
take the device to the nearest authorized service facility. Charge your device
with a compatible charger. Charger plug type may vary. Charging time can vary
depending on device capability.
Battery and charger safety info
Once the charging of your device is complete, unplug the charger from the
device and the electrical outlet. Please note that continuous charging should
not exceed 12 hours. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time. Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime of the
battery. Always keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F) for
optimal performance. A device with a hot or cold battery may not work
temporarily. Note that the battery may drain quickly in cold temperatures and
lose enough power to switch off the phone within minutes. When you are
outdoors in cold temperatures, keep your phone warm. Obey local regulations.
Recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste. Do not expose the
battery to extremely low air pressure or leave it to extremely high
temperature, for example, dispose of it in a fire, as that may cause the
battery to explode or leak flammable liquid or gas.
Do not dismantle, cut, crush, bend, puncture, or otherwise damage the battery in any way. If a battery leaks, do not let liquid touch your 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 another hazard, and may invalidate any approval or warranty. If you believe the battery or charger is damaged, take it to a service center or your phone dealer before continuing to use it. Never use a damaged battery or charger. Only use the charger indoors. Do not charge your device during a lightning storm.
When the charger is not included in the sales pack, charge your device using the data cable (included) and a USB power adaptor (may be sold separately). You can charge your device with third-party cables and power adaptors that are compliant with USB 2.0 or later and with applicable country regulations and international and regional safety standards. Other adaptors may not meet applicable safety standards, and charging with such adaptors could pose a risk of property loss or personal injury. To unplug a charger or an accessory, hold and pull the plug, not the cord. Additionally, the following applies if your device has a removable battery:
- Always switch the device off and unplug the charger before removing the battery.
- Accidental short-circuiting can happen when a metallic object touches the metal strips on the battery. This may damage the battery or the other object.

MEDICAL DEVICES
Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may
interfere with inadequately shielded medical devices’ function. Consult a
physician or the medical device’s manufacturer to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external radio energy.
IMPLANTED MEDICAL DEVICES
To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of implanted medical devices
(such as cardiac pacemakers, insulin pumps, and neurostimulators) recommend a
minimum separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) between a wireless device
and 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.
- Do not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
- Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
- Switch the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
- Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the implanted medical device.
- If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult your healthcare provider. HEARING
Warning: When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do not use the headset which it can endanger your safety. Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
PROTECT YOUR DEVICE FROM HARMFUL CONTENT
Your device may be exposed to viruses and other harmful content. Be cautious
when opening messages. They may contain malicious software or otherwise be
harmful to your device.
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 authorized 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 airbag deployment
area.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Switch your device off in potentially explosive environments, such as near
gasoline 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
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 (radio frequency electromagnetic fields),
recommended by international guidelines from the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP. These guidelines incorporate substantial safety margins
that are intended to assure the protection of all persons regardless of age
and health. The exposure guidelines are based on the Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR), which is an expression of the amount of radio frequency (RF) power
deposited in the head or body when the device is transmitting. The ICNIRP SAR
limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg averaging over 10 grams of tissue. SAR
tests are carried out with the device in standard operating positions,
transmitting at its highest certified power level, in all its frequency bands.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used against the head or when positioned at least 5/8 inch (1.5 centimeters) away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or other form of device holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should provide at least the above- stated separation distance from the body. To send data or messages, a good connection to the network is needed. Sending may be delayed until such a connection is available. Follow the separation distance instructions until the sending is finished.
During general use, the SAR values are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output, the lower the SAR value. Device models may have different versions and more than one value. Component and design changes may occur over time and some changes could affect SAR values. For more info, go to www.sar- tick.com. Note that mobile devices may be transmitting even if you are not making a voice call. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that current scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions when using mobile devices.
If you are interested in reducing your exposure, they recommend you limit your usage or use a hands-free kit to keep the device away from your head and body. For more information and explanations and discussions on RF exposure, go to the WHO Please refer to www.nokia.com/phones/sar for the maximum SAR value of the device.
