physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine whether they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Switch off the 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.
French Ministerial Order of 8th October 2003
This section only applies to France.
All Nokia products comply with international and, where adopted, country specific
standards and guidelines for limiting human exposure to electromagnetic fields.
These standards and guidelines were adopted after thorough reviews of the science.
Those reviews do not establish a link between the use of mobile devices and adverse
health effects when the device is operating within the standards and guidelines.
If you have concerns about exposure from handsets operating within the standards
or guidelines, then, in accordance with French regulatory requirements we are
required to include in this User Guide the following guidance on precautionary
measures: you can limit exposure to radio frequency energy by either (a) using the
device in good reception conditions, or (b) using a hands-free kit to move the device
away from the head and body. In the latter situation, pregnant women should keep
the device away from their abdomen and adolescents should keep the device away
from their lower abdomen.
Hearing
Warning:
When you use a headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do
not use a headset where it can endanger your safety.
Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
Vehicles
Radio 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 install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or
service may be dangerous. 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 the device
or accessories in the air bag deployment area.
Switch off the device before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless devices in an
aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may be illegal.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off the 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.
