Nokia N974 Manual

							The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product,
battery, literature, or packaging reminds you that all
electrical and electronic products, batteries, and
accumulators must be taken to separate collection at the end
of their working life. This requirement applies in the
European Union. Do not dispose of these products as
unsorted municipal waste. For more information on the
environmental attributes of your device, see
www.nokia.com/ecodeclaration.Product and safety informationAccessories
Warning:
Use only batteries, chargers, and accessories approved by Nokia for use with this
particular model. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty,
and may be dangerous. In particular, use of unapproved chargers or batteries may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
For availability of approved accessories, please check with your dealer. When you
disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Battery
Battery and charger information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery intended for use with this
device is BL-4D. Nokia may make additional battery models available for this device.
This device is intended for use when supplied with power from the following chargers:
AC-10. The exact Nokia charger model number may vary depending on the plug type,identified by E, X, AR, U, A, C, K, or B. In addition, third-party chargers complying with IEC/
EN 62684 may be compatible with this device when connected to the Micro-USB data
port.
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. Use only Nokia approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Nokia
approved chargers designated for this device.
If a battery is being used for the first time or if the battery has not been used for a
prolonged period, it may be necessary to connect the charger, then disconnect and
reconnect it to begin charging the battery. If the battery is completely discharged, it may
take several minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any
calls can be made.
Safe removal. Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing
the battery.
Proper charging. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in
use. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
Avoid extreme temperatures. Always try to 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. Battery performance is particularly
limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not short-circuit. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as
a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, 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.
Disposal. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Dispose of batteries
according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household
waste.
Leak. Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, puncture, or shred cells or batteries. In
the event of a battery leak, prevent battery liquid contact with skin or eyes. If this
happens, flush the affected areas immediately with water, or seek medical help.

							Damage. 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.
Correct use. Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Improper battery use may
result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. If the device or battery is dropped, especially
on a hard surface, and you believe the battery has been damaged, take it to a service
centre for inspection before continuing to use it. Never use any charger or battery that
is damaged. Keep your battery out of the reach of small children.
Take care of your device
Handle your device, battery, charger and accessories with care. The following suggestions
help you protect your warranty coverage.
•Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture
can contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits. If your device gets wet,

About Digital Rights Management
When using this device, obey all laws and respect local customs, privacy and legitimate
rights of others, including copyrights. Copyright protection may prevent you from
copying, modifying, or transferring images, music, and other content.
Content owners may use different types of digital rights management (DRM) technologies
to protect their intellectual property, including copyrights. This device uses various types
of DRM software to access DRM-protected content. With this device you can access content
protected with WMDRM 10 and OMA DRM 2.0. If certain DRM software fails to protect the
content, content owners may ask that such DRM softwares ability to access new DRM-
protected content be revoked. Revocation may also prevent renewal of such DRM-
protected content already in your device. Revocation of such DRM software does not affect

							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.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the device. Do
not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the device, because
information stored on them may be erased.
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.Vehicles
RF 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 service the device or 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 teledevices 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.
Make an emergency call
1 Make sure the device is switched on.
2 Check for adequate signal strength. You may also need to do the following:
•Insert a SIM card.

and through your internet call service provider. Connections in all conditions cannot be
guaranteed. Never rely solely on any wireless device for essential communications like
medical emergencies.
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 0.67
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.
