Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless
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 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.

•

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.

55

•

Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of their
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. If interference occurs, consult your service provider.

■

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic 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 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

56

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 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, and areas 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.

Emergency calls

Important: This device operates using radio signals, wireless
networks, landline networks, and user-programmed
functions. If your device supports voice calls over the
Internet (Internet calls), activate both the Internet calls
and the cellular phone. The device will attempt to make
emergency calls over both the cellular networks and
through your Internet call provider if both are activated.
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. Depending on your device, you may also need to
complete the following:

•

Insert a SIM card if your device uses one.

•

Remove certain cell restrictions you have activated in
your device.

•

Change your profile from offline or flight profile mode to
an active profile.

2. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the display

and ready the device for calls.

58

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. If the device
is in the offline or flight profile mode, you may need to unlock the
device and change to the calling profile 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)

The wireless device described in this guide (RH-108) is approved
for use on the CDMA 800 and 1900 networks. 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.

59

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 0.75 W/kg.

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 under product information at
www.nokiausa.com.

Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for
exposure to radio waves established by the Federal Communications
Commission (USA) and Industry Canada. These requirements set a
SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest
SAR value reported under this standard during product certification
for use at the ear is 1.28 W/kg and when properly worn on the
body is 0.64 W/kg.

Information about this device model can be found at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid by searching the equipment
authorization system using FCC ID: QMNRH-108.

Hearing aid compatibility

Your mobile device model complies with FCC rules governing
hearing aid compatibility. These rules require an M3 microphone
or higher value. The M-value, shown on the device box, refers to
lower radio frequency (RF) emissions. A higher M-value generally
indicates that a device model has a lower RF emissions level, which
may improve the likelihood that the device will operate with certain
hearing aids. Some hearing aids are more immune than others to
interference. Please consult your hearing health professional to
determine the M-rating of your hearing aid and whether your hearing
aid will work with this device. More information on accessibility
can be found at www.nokiaaccessibility.com.
