3. Battery information
■ Charging and discharging
Your device is powered by a 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. Use only
Nokia approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with
Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
If a replacement 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.
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.
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.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any
charger or battery that is damaged.
20
Do not short-circuit the battery. 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.
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 device with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully
charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.
Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries
according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do
not dispose as household waste.
Do not dismantle or shred cells or batteries. In the event of a
battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the
skin or eyes. In the event of such a leak, flush your skin or eyes
immediately with water, or seek medical help.
21
■ Nokia battery authentication
guidelines
Always use original Nokia batteries for your safety. To check that
you are getting an original Nokia battery, purchase it from an
authorised Nokia dealer, and inspect the hologram label using the
following steps:
Successful completion of the steps is not a total assurance of the
authenticity of the battery. If you have any reason to believe that
your battery is not an authentic, original Nokia battery, you
should refrain from using it, and take it to the nearest authorised
Nokia service point or dealer for assistance. Your authorised
Nokia service point or dealer will inspect the battery for
authenticity. If authenticity cannot be verified, return the battery
to the place of purchase.
Authenticate hologram
1. When you look at the hologram
on the label, you should see the
Nokia connecting hands symbol
from one angle and the Nokia
Original Enhancements logo when
looking from another angle.
22
2. When you angle the hologram
left, right, down and up, you
should see 1, 2, 3 and 4 dots on
each side respectively.
What if your battery is not authentic?
If you cannot confirm that your Nokia battery with the hologram
on the label is an authentic Nokia battery, please do not use the
battery. Take it to the nearest authorised Nokia service point or
dealer for assistance. The use of a battery that is not approved by
the manufacturer may be dangerous and may result in poor
performance and damage to your device and its enhancements. It
may also invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the
device.

questions. Switch off your device 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.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a minimum
separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) should be maintained
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 centimeters
(6 inches) from the medical device when the wireless device is
turned on.
•
Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
28
•
•
•
Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical
device to minimize the potential for interference.
Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place.

fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking
systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag systems.
For more information, check with the manufacturer, or its
representative, of your vehicle or any equipment that has been
added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device or install the
device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply to
29
the device. 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 enhancements. For
vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags inflate
with great force. Do not place objects, including 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 device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. 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, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may be
illegal.
■ Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death. Switch off the device at refueling points
such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions
on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and
30
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
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust,
or metal powders.
■ Emergency calls
Important: Wireless phones, including this device,
operate using radio signals, wireless networks, landline
networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of
this, connections in all conditions cannot be
guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any wireless
device for essential communications like medical
emergencies.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the device 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 device.
2. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the display
and ready the device for calls.
31
3. Enter the official emergency number for your present
location. Emergency numbers vary by location.
4. Press the call 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 or your service provider for more information.
When making an emergency call, give all the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Your wireless device may
be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident.
Do not end the call until given permission to do so.
■ 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 organization 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
32
A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n
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 1.07 W/kg (RH-
99) or 1.01 W/kg (RH-105).
Use of device accessories and enhancements 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
