Nokia N8 Manual

							Battery safety
Note: The battery in your device is non-removable, so refer to the battery-related statements as applicable to your
device.
When you unplug a charger or an accessory, hold and pull the plug, not the cord.
When your charger is not in use, unplug it from the electrical plug and the device. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected
to a charger, as overcharging may shorten the battery’s lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over
time.
Always keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). 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. Short-circuiting may
damage the battery or the connecting object.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, puncture, or shred cells or batteries. If a battery leaks, do not let battery liquid touch
skin or eyes. If this happens, immediately flush the affected areas with water, or seek medical help.
Do not modify, remanufacture, 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 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 for inspection before continuing to use it. Never use a damaged battery or
charger. Only use the charger indoors.
Additional safety information

							conditions cannot be guaranteed. Never rely solely on any wireless device for essential communications like medical
emergencies.
Small children
Your device and its accessories are not toys. They may contain small parts. Keep them out of the reach of small children.
Medical devices
Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with the function of inadequately
protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine whether they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Switch off your device when regulations posted instruct you to do so, for example,
in hospitals.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) between a wireless device
and an implanted 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 centimetres (6 inches) from the medical device.
•Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
•Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
•Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
•Follow the manufacturer directions for the 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.
Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
Nickel
Note: The surface of this device does not contain nickel in the platings. The surface of this device contains stainless
steel.
Protect your device from harmful content
Your device may be exposed to viruses and other harmful content. Take the following precautions:
•Be cautious when opening messages. They may contain malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or
computer.
•Be cautious when accepting connectivity requests, browsing the internet, or downloading content. Do not accept
Bluetooth connections from sources you do not trust.
•Only install and use services and software from sources that you trust and that offer adequate security and protection.
•Install antivirus and other security software on your device and any connected computer. Only use one antivirus
application at a time. Using more may affect performance and operation of the device and/or computer.
•If you access preinstalled bookmarks and links to third party internet sites, take the appropriate precautions. Nokia does
not endorse or assume liability for such sites.
122 Product and safety information 
						

							Operating environment
This device meets RF 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.
To send data files or messages requires a quality connection to the network. Data files or messages may be delayed until such
a connection is available. Follow the separation distance instructions until the transmission is completed.
Vehicles
Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic
fuel injection, electronic antilock braking, electronic speed control, and air bag systems. For more information, check with the
manufacturer of your vehicle or its equipment.
Only qualified personnel should install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate
your warranty. 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 accessories.
Remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place your device or accessories in the air bag deployment area.
Switch off your device before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless devices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation
of the aircraft and may be illegal.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all posted instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or death. Switch off the device at refuelling points such as near gas
pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions 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
areas where you would be advised to turn off your vehicle engine, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities
and 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.
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 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 1.05 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.
