 
Additional safety information
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of the 
reach of small children.
■ Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always switch 
off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or 
danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions. This device meets 
RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the 
ear or when positioned at least 2.2 centimeters (7/8 inch) away from the body. 
When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should 
not contain metal and should position the device the above-stated distance from 
your body. 
To transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the 
network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed 
until such a connection is available. Ensure that the above separation distance 
instructions are followed 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 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.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 
15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker 
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are 
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless 
Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should do the following:
 
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
77
•
Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from 
the pacemaker
•
Not carry the device in a breast pocket
•
Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential 
for interference.
If you suspect interference, switch off your device, and move the device away.
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 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, 
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.
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 
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 at the ear for 
device type RM-126 is 0.76 W/kg and for device type RM-126H is 0.70 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.nokia.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 
1 gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during 
product certification for use at the ear and when properly worn on the body are:
Information about these device models can be found at 
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ fccid by searching the equipment authorization system 
using FCC ID: PPIRM-126 and PPIRM-126H.
Your device FCC ID is listed on the label located under the battery.
