9. Battery information
Charging and DischargingYour phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
Note that a new battery’s full performance is achieved only after two or three complete 
charge and discharge cycles!
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. 
When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than  normal, it 
is time  to buy a new  battery.
Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge your battery only with 
the chargers approved by the manufacturer. Unplug the charger when not in use. Do not 
leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may 
shorten its lifetime. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery.  Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic 
object (coin, clip  or pen) causes direct connection of the + and -  terminals of the battery 
(metal strips on the battery) for example when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or 
purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter 
conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the 
battery between 15°C and 25°C (59° F and 77° F). A phone with a hot or cold battery may

particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire !
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose as 
household waste.

CARE AND MAINTENANCEYour phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with 
care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfil any warranty obligations and to enjoy this 
product for many years.
Keep  the phone and all its parts and accessories  out of the reach of small children.
Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or moisture can 
contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts can be damaged.
Do not store the phone  in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic 
devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
Do not store the phone in cold areas.  When it warms up (to its normal temperature), 
moisture can form inside, which may damage electronic circuit boards.
Do not attempt to open the phone. Non-expert handling may damage it.
Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the phone.
Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.  Unauthorised antennas, 
modifications or attachments could damage the phone and may violate regulations 
governing radio devices.
All of  the above suggestions apply equally to your phone, battery, charger or any accessory. 
If any of them is not working properly, take it to your nearest qualified service facility. The 
personnel there will assist you and, if necessary, arrange for service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Traffic SafetyDo not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. Always secure the phone in its 
holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or where it can break loose in a 
collision or sudden stop.
Remember road safety always comes first!
Operating environmentRemember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off your 
phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger.
Use the phone only in its normal operating positions.
Parts of the phone are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the phone, and 
persons with a hearing aid should not hold the phone to the ear with the hearing aid. Always 
secure the phone in its holder, because metallic materials may be attracted by the earpiece. 
Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the phone, because 
information stored on them may be erased.
Electronic devicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.  However, 
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless 
phone.

PacemakersPacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 20 cm (6 inches) be 
maintained between a handheld 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 phone more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when 
the phone is switched on;
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
Should use 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 phone 
immediately.Hearing aidsSome digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.  In the event of such 
interference, you may want to consult your service provider.Other medical devicesOperation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular 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 phone 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.

VehiclesRF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in 
motor vehicles (e.g. electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking 
systems, electronic speed control systems, air-bag systems).  Check with the manufacturer 
or its representative regarding your vehicle.  You should also consult the manufacturer of 
any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Posted facilitiesSwitch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.
Potentially explosive atmospheresSwitch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey 
all signs and instructions.  Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in 
bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refuelling point (service station). Users 
are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots 
(fuel 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; vehicles using liquified 
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or 
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would 
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

VehiclesOnly qualified personnel should service the phone, or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty 
installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty which may apply 
to the unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone 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 phone, its parts or accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great force.  Do 
not place objects, including both 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 phone while in the air is prohibited. Switch off your phone before boarding an 
aircraft. The use of wireless telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of 
the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of telephone services 
to the offender, or legal action or both.
Emergency calls
Important: This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, 
wireless and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions. Because 
of this, connections in all conditions can not be guaranteed. Therefore, you 
should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communications 
(e.g. medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain 
network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers.

To make an emergency call:1. If the phone is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.
Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the phone.
2. Press   as many times as needed (e.g. to exit a call, to exit a menu, etc.) to clear the 
display and ready the phone for calls. 
3. Key in the emergency number for your present location (e.g. 112  or other official 
emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
4. Press the   key
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before you can 
make an emergency call. Consult this guide and your local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as 
accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone may be the only means of 
communication at the scene of an accident - do not cut off the call until given permission to 
do so.
Certification information (SAR)THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not 
to exceed the limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy recommended by The 
Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and 
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were 
developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough 
evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to 
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the 
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the  
						

							Copyright



2003 Nokia. All rights reserved.160 European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard operating 
positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested 
frequency bands.  Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the 
actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value.  This is 
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the 
power required to reach the network.  In general, the closer you are to a base station 
antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European 
R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the 
protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. The highest SAR 
value for this model phone when tested for compliance against the standard was 0.62 W/kg. 
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various 
positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged 
over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give 
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR 
values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. For 
SAR information in other regions please look under product information at www.nokia.com.
