Taking care of your device
Your device is a product of superior
design and craftsmanship and should
be treated with care. The following
suggestions will help you protect
your warranty coverage.
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation,
humidity, and all types of liquids
or moisture can contain minerals
that will corrode electronic
circuits. If your device does get
wet, allow it to dry completely.
• Do not use or store the device in
dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts
and electronic components can
be damaged.
• Do not store the device in high or
cold temperature. High
temperatures can shorten the life
of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and warp or melt
certain plastics. When the device
warms to its normal temperature
from a cold temperature,
moisture can form inside the
device and damage electronic
circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the
device other than as instructed in
this guide.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the
device. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards and fine
mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals,
cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the device.
Only use a soft, clean, dry cloth to
clean the surface of the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can
clog the moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
These suggestions apply equally to
your device or any accessory.

Recycle
Always return your used electronic
products, batteries, and packaging
materials to dedicated collection
points. This way you help prevent
uncontrolled waste disposal and
promote the recycling of materials.
Check product environmental
information and how to recycle your
Nokia products at www.nokia.com/
werecycle, or nokia.mobi/werecycle.
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
environmental information, see the
product Eco-Declarations at

Additional safety information
■Small children
Your device and its accessories are
not toys. They may contain small
parts. Keep them out of the reach of
small children.
■Operating
environment
This device model has been tested
and meets RF exposure guidelines
when positioned at least 0.5
centimetres (1/4 inches) away from
the body when plugged directly into
a USB port on the host device or used
at the end of the Nokia Connectivity
Cable CA-150D supplied in the sales
package.
■Medical devices
Operation of any 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. Hospitals or health care facilities
may use equipment sensitive to
external RF energy.
Implanted medical
devices
Manufacturers of medical devices
recommend a minimum separation of
15.3 centimeters (6 inches) between
a wireless device and an implanted

16
16 Copyright ©2010 Nokia. All rights reserved.
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.
• 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 aids
Some digital wireless devices may
interfere with some hearing aids.
■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. Faulty service may
be dangerous and may invalidate
your warranty. Do not store or carry
flammable liquids, gases, or explosive
materials in the same compartment
as the device, its parts, or accessories.
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.

Copyright ©2010 Nokia. All rights reserved. 17
■Potentiallyexplosive
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 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

18
18 Copyright ©2010 Nokia. All rights reserved.
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.
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.
This device model meets RF exposure
guidelines when positioned at least
0.5 centimetres (1/4 inches) away
from the body.
