as gold, silver, and palladium). All materials of the device can be recovered as materials and
energy.
To unplug a charger or an accessory, hold and pull the plug, not the cord.
When your charger is not in use, unplug it. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time.
Always keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C) for optimal performance.
Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. A device with a hot or
cold battery may not work temporarily. 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.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Obey local regulations. Recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Do not dismantle, cut, crush, bend, puncture, 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 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.

taking place. implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device,
consult your health care provider.
HEARING
Warning: When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do
not use the headset where it can endanger your safety.
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 air bag deployment area.
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
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 averaged 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 centimetres) 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 website at www.who.int/health-
topics/electromagnetic-fields#tab=tab_1.
Please refer to www.nokia.com/phones/sar for the maximum SAR value of the device.
