Battery information 74 14. Battery information This section provides information about batteries, chargers, safety gui delines and technical information. Be aware t hat the in formation in thi s section is subject to change as batteries and chargers change. ■ Charging and discharging batteries Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or th ree compl ete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby time s are noticeably shorter than normal, replace the battery. Use only N okia approved batteries , and recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this pho ne. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the phone when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unus ed, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the battery. A ccidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pe n causes di rect 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-circuiti ng 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 and its ability to charge. Always try to keep the ba ttery between 5 9°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A phone with a hot or cold battery may not work tempor arily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery pe rformance is particularly li mited in temperatures well below freezing. Do not di spose of batte ries in a fire, as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations . Please recycle when pos sible. Do not dis pose as household waste.
Battery information 75 ■ Nokia battery authentication guidelines Always use original Nokia batteries for yo ur safety. To check tha t you are getting an original Nokia ba ttery, purchase it from an authorized Nokia dealer, look for the Nokia Original Enhancements logo on the packaging and inspect the hologram label using the following steps: Successful completion of the four st eps is not a total assurance of the authenticity of the battery. If you have an y reason to believe that your battery is not an authentic origin al No kia battery, you sho uld refrain from using it and take it to the nearest authorized Nokia service point or deale r for assistance. Your authorized Nokia service point or deale r will ins pect the battery for aut henticity. If authen ticity cannot be verifi ed, retu rn the battery to the place of purchase. Authenticat e hologram 1. When looking at the hologr am label, you should see the Nokia connecting hand s symbol from one angle and the Nokia Original Enhancements logo when looking from another angle. 2. When you angle the hologram to t he left, right, down, and up sides of the logo, you should see 1, 2, 3, and 4 dots on each side respectively. 3. Scratch the side of the label to reveal a 20-digit code, for example, 123456789 19876543210 . Turn the battery so that the numbers are facing upwards. The 20-digit code reads starting from the number at the top row followed by the bottom row. 4. Confirm that the 20-digit code is valid by following the instructions at www.nokia .com/ batter ycheck .
Battery information 76 What if your battery is not authentic? If you canno t confirm that your Nokia battery with the hologram l abel is an authentic No kia battery, please do not us e the battery. Take it to the neare st authorized Nokia service poi nt or dealer for assistance. The use of a battery that is not approved by t he manufacturer ma y be dangerous and may result in poor performance and damage to your phon e and its enhancements. It may also invalidate any a pproval or wa rranty applying to the phone.

These limits est ablish permitted levels of RF ene rgy for the ge neral population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independe nt scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studi es. The st andards and guidelines include a subst antial safety ma rgin designed to assure the safety of
Additional safety information 81 the public, regardless of age and health and to account for an y variations in measu remen ts. The exposure guidelines for mobile device s employ a unit of measureme nt known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR li mit stated in t he international guidelines is 2.0 watts/kil ogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. Test s 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 well below the maximum value because the device is designed t o use only the pow er required to reach t he network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close you are to a network base statio n. The highe st SAR value when tested according to international testing procedur es for use at the ear for device type RH-66 is 0.75 W/ kg. Your phone’s device ty pe is listed on the label located under the battery. SAR values may vary depend ing on nation al reporting and testing requirements and the network band.

A Guide to Safe and Respo nsible Wireless Phone Use Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique combination of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone. Quite simply, the wireless ph one gives people the powerful ability t o communicate by voice—almost anywhere, anytime—with the bos s, with a client, with the kids , with emergency personne l or even w ith the police . Each year, Americans make billions of calls from th eir wireles s phones, and the numbers are rapidly growing. But an important responsibility acco mp anies those benefits, one that every wireless phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. A wireless phone can be an invaluable t ool, but good judgment must be exercised at all times while dr iving a motor vehicle—whether on the phone or not. The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teen ager s. D riv ing r equ ires aler tne ss, caution and courte sy. It requ ires a hea vy dose of basic common sense—keep your h e a d u p , k e e p y o u r e y e s o n t h e r o a d , c h eck your mirrors frequently and watch out for other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within the speed limi t. It means u sing seat belts and re quiring other passengers to do the same.
Additional safety information 89 But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a li ttle more . This brochure is a call to w ireless phone us ers everywhere t o make safety t heir first priority when behind the wheel of a car. Wireless telecom munications is keeping us in touch, simplifying our lives, protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities to help others in need. When it comes to the use of wireless phon es, safety is your most important call. Wireless Phone “Safety Tips” Below are safety tips to follow while dr iving and using a wireless phone which should be easy to remember. 1. Get to know your wireless phone and it s features s uch as 1-touch dialing and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take adva ntage of valuable features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to memorize t he phone keyp ad so you can use the 1-touch dialing function without takin g yo ur attention of f the road. 2. When available, use a hands-free ph one. A number of hands-free wireless phone accessorie s are readily availa ble today. Whether you choose an installed mounted phone for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advanta ge of th ese phones if available to you. 3. Position your wireless phone within eas y reach. Make sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach an d where you can grab it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you. 4. Suspend conversations during hazardous dri ving conditions or situations. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weathe r conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention t o the road. 5. Do not take not es or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an address book or business card, or writing a “to do” list while driving a car, you are not watching wh ere you are goi ng. It’s common sense. D on’t get caught in a dangerous si tuation becaus e you are reading or writing and not paying attent ion to the road or nearby vehicles.
Additional safety information 90 6. Dia l sensibly and assess t he traff ic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip—d ial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue. 7. Do not engage in stressful or em otional conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix— they are distracting and even dangerou s w hen you are behind the w heel of a car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations which have the pot ential to divert your attention from the road. 8. Use your wireless pho ne to call for h elp. Your wireless phone is one of the greatest tools you can own to protect yo urself and your family in dangerous situations—with your phone at your si de, help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 or other local e mergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical e mergency. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone! 9. Use your wireless pho ne to help othe rs in emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a perfect opportunit y to be a “Goo d Samaritan” in your community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emer gency wh ere liv es are in danger , call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you. 10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless nonemergency assistance number when neces sary. Certain situat ions you encounter while driving may require att ention, but are not urgent enoug h to merit a call for emergency services. But you still can use your w ir eless phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emerg ency wireless number. Careless, distracted individuals and pe ople driving irresponsibly represe nt a hazard to everyone on t he road. Sinc e 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association and the wireless industry have cond ucted educational outreach to inform wireless pho ne users of their responsibilities as safe drivers
Additional safety information 91 and good citizens. As we app roach a new cent ury, more and more of us will t ake advantage of the benefits of wireless telephones. And, as we take to the roads, we all have a responsibility to drive safely. The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving. For more information, please call 1- 888-901-SAFE.

Additional safety information 92 Appendix B Message from the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) to all users of mobile phones ©July 18, 20 01For up dates: http:/ /www.fda.gov /cdrh/ phones Consumer Update on Wireless Phones U.S. Food an d Drug Administration 1. Do wireless phones po se a health h azard? The available scie ntific evidence does not sh ow that any hea lth problems are associated with us ing wireless phones . There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolut ely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the mi crowave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studi es of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficul ty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the re asons for inconsistent results. 2. What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones? Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical phones. However, the agency has autho rity to take
Additional safety information 93 action if wireless phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require th e manufacturers of wireless phones to noti fy users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists. Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regul atory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone indu stry to ta ke a number of steps, including the following: • Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones; • Design wireless p hones in a way that mi nimizes any RF ex posure to the user that is not necessary for phone function; and • Cooperate in providing users of wi reless phones wit h the best possible information on po ssible effect s of wireless phone use on human health. FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ens ure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this worki ng group: • National Instit ute for Occupational Safety and Health • Environmental Prot ection Agency • Federal Communications C ommission • Occupational Safety and Health Adm inistration • National Telecommunicat ions an d Informatio n Administration The National Institutes of Healt h part icipates in some interagency working group activities, as well. FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireles s phones with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the Unite d States must comply w ith FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wirel ess phones. FCC also regulates the base stations that the wirel ess phone networks rely upon. While these base st at ions operate at higher power than do the wireless phones themselve s, th e RF exposures that people get from these base stations are ty pically thousands of times lower than those they
Additional safety information 94 can get from wireless phones. Base stat io ns are thus not the subject of the safety questions discu ssed in this document. 3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update? The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built- in antennas, often called cell mobile or PCS phone s. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measur able radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the s hort distance between the phone and the us er’s head. These RF exposures are l imited by Federal Co mmunications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health an d safety agencies . When t he phone is locat ed at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is dr astically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing dist ance from the source. The so- called cordless phones; which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits. 4. What are the results of the research d one already? The research done thus far has produced confl icting results, and many s tudies have suffered from flaws in their re search methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeat ed in other laborat or ies. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could ac celerate t he development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had been genet ically engineered or treated with cancer-causing che micals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which p eople use wireless phones, s o we don’t know with certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health. Three large epide miology studies have been publishe d since De cember 2000. Between them, the studies inves tigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and primary br ain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic ne uroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other
Additional safety information 95 cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about lo ng-term expo sures , sinc e th e avera ge period of phone use in these st udies was around three years. 5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless pho nes poses a health risk? A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure s tudies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals woul d be needed to provide reli able proof of a cancer p romoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populat ions, but 10 or more years follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer. This is beca use the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer- causing agent and the time t umors develop — if they do — may be many , many yea rs. The inte rpre tation of epi demiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors a ffect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which model of phone i s used. 6. What is FDA doing to find out more abou t the possible health effects of w ireless phone RF? FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigat ors around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted t o address imp ortant questions about the effects of exposure t o radiofrequency energy (RF). FDA has been a leading participant in the World H ealth Organiza tion International Ele ctromagnetic Fields (E MF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential resu lt of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research programs around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public informatio n documents on EMF issues.
Additional safety information 96 FDA and the Cellular Telecommunicat ions & Internet Associat ion (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agre ement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. FD A provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in gov ernment, industry, and acad emic orga nizat ions. CT IA-fun ded r esearc h is conducted through con tracts to independent investigators. The initial research will include bot h laboratory studies and stud ies of wireless phone us ers. The CRADA wil l also include a broad assessment of additional rese arch needs in the context of t he latest research developments around the world. 7. How can I find out how much rad iofrequency energy exposure I can get by using my wireless phone? All phones sold in the United St a t e s m u s t c o m p l y w i t h F e d e r a l Communications Commission (FCC) guid elines that li mit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures. FCC established these guidelines in consultation with FDA and the othe r federal heal th and sa fety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consis tent with the safety standards developed by the Inst itute of Ele ctrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protect ion and Measurement. The exposure limit takes in to consideration the body’s abi lity to remo ve heat from th e tissues th at absorb energy from the wireless ph one and is set well below levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless pho nes must report the RF expo sure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FC C website (http://ww w.fcc.gov/oet/ rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC identification number on your phone so yo u can find your phon e’s RF exposure level in the online listing. 8. What has FDA done to measur e the radiofrequency energy coming from wireless phones? The Institute of Electrical and Electron ic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other wireless handsets w ith the participation and leadership o f FDA scientists and en gineers. The standard, Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Pea k S pecific Absorption Rate (SAR) in
Additional safety information 97 the Human Body Due to Wireless Commu nications Devices: Experiment al Techniques, sets forth the first consis t ent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is de posited in the heads of wirele ss phone users. T he test method u ses a tissue -simulating mo del of the human head. Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of measurements made at different laborato ries on the same phone. SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy ab sorbed in tissue, eit her by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to det ermine whethe r a wireless phone complies with safety guidelines. 9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone? If there is a risk from these products—and at this point we do not know that there is—it is probably very small. Bu t if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy ( RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reduci ng the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF expos ure. If you must co nduct extended conversat i ons by wireless phone every day, you could place mo re distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatica lly with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scient ific data do not demonstrat e that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned abou t the RF exposure from these prod ucts, you can use measures like those describe d above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless p hone use. 10.What about children using wireless phones? The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children and teenag ers. If you want t o take steps t o lower exposu re to radiofrequency energy (RF), the me asures describe d above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source
Additional safety information 98 will reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national governments ha ve advised that childre n be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the governm ent in the United Kingdom dist ributed leafl ets contai ning such a rec ommendat ion in Decem ber 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendat ion to limit wirele ss phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not bas ed on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. 11.What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment? Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wir eless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, FD A helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interfere nce (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. T his test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Associat ion for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The fi nal draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manu facturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are sa fe from wire less phone EMI. FDA has tested hearing aids for interferenc e from handheld wireless phone s and helped deve lop a voluntary standard spon sored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance require ments for hearing ai ds and wirel ess phones so that no interference occurs when a pers on uses a compatible phone and a accompanied hearing aid at the same ti me. This standard was approved by the IE EE in 2000.F DA co ntinue s to mo nitor the use of wire less p hones for possible interactions with other medica l devices. Should harmful interference be found to o ccur, FDA will conduct te s ting to assess the interference and work to resolve t he problem.
