Be aware that the information in this section is subject to change as the batteries, chargers, and accessories change.This phone is intended for use when supplied with power from an ACP-7U, an ACP-8U, LCH-8, or an LCH-9. Other usage could invalidate any approval given to this apparatus and might be dangerous.Warning! When you purchase batteries, chargers, and accessories for your phone, use only batteries, chargers, and accessories that have received approval from the phone’s manufacturer. The use of any other type of phone-related hardware will invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the phone, and could also be dangerous For availability of approved batteries, chargers, and accessories, check with your dealer.• When the battery is fully charged, the indicator will tell you that the battery is fully charged.• When you are not using a charger, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for more than a week, since overcharging could shorten its lifespan. If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge. Therefore, allow it to cool down or warm up before trying to charge it.
8260 User Guide version v. 0.06 [ 106 ]4/21/00When the battery is running out of power and your phone only has a few minutes of talk time remaining, a warning tone sounds and the Battery low message appears briefly. When no more talk time is left, a warning tone is sounded and the phone switches itself off.Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object, like a coin, a clip, or a pen causes a direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery, which are metal strips on the back of the battery.An example of short-circuiting could occur if you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse, where the battery could come into contact with such objects like a coin. Short-circuiting could damage either the battery or the connecting object.Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in either summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15 C and 25 C (59 F and 77 F).A phone with a hot or cold battery might not work temporarily, even if the battery is fully charged. The performance of Li-Ion batteries is particularly limited in temperatures below 0 C (32 F).The following list provides a guideline that you can follow:• When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery.• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged and/or worn out.• Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of batteries by putting them in fire!• When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

Always park the vehicle before using the phone.After completing your phone conversation, always secure the phone back into its holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or place it where it can break loose in a collision or during a sudden stop.Note: The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn on public roads is not permitted.Remember: Safety—Your most important call.Operating environmentRemember to follow any special regulations that are in force in any area, and always switch off your phone wherever it is forbidden to use it. Otherwise, the use of your phone could cause interference or danger.When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read the associated user guide first and obtain detailed safety instructions.Note: Do not connect incompatible products.As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, you are advised that, for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the phone should only be used in the normal operating position. This position is when the phone is held to your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder.
8260 User Guide version v. 0.06 [ 108 ]4/21/00Electronic devicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment might not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. The following four subsections provide more information about this topic.PacemakersPacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of six inches (20 cm.) should be maintained between a handheld 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 always keep the phone more than six inches (20 cm) from their pacemaker when the phone is switched on• should not carry the phone in a breast pocket• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interferenceNote: If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your phone immediately.Hearing aidsSome digital wireless phones could interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you might want to consult your service provider.Other medical devicesOperation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones, could 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. Also contact these authorities if you have any questions.
8260 User Guide version v. 0.06 [ 109 ] 4/21/00Reference informationSwitch off your phone in health care facilities or where any posted regulations instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities could be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.VehiclesRF signals could improperly affect installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. These could include electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, or air bag systems.Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Posted facilitiesSwitch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.Potentially explosive atmospheresSwitch off your phone if you are in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death.You are advised to switch off the phone while at a refueling point (service station). And, you are reminded of the need to observe restrictions regarding the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel 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. These areas include the following: below deck on boats; chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
8260 User Guide version v. 0.06 [ 110 ]4/21/00VehiclesOnly qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service could be dangerous and might invalidate any warranty that could apply to the unit.Regularly check that all wireless phone 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 phone, its parts, or accessories.For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including both the installed or the portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If the in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network and may be illegal.Failure to observe these instructions could lead to the suspension or the denial of telephone services to the offender, or it could result in legal action, or both scenarios could apply.

Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be switched on and be used in a service area that has adequate signal strength. Emergency calls might not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers.Always ensure that your phone is properly charged before attempting any emergency calls. If you allow your battery to become empty, you will be unable to receive or make calls, including emergency calls. You must then wait a few minutes after the charging begins to place any emergency calls.Make an emergency call1If the phone is not on, switch it on.2Enter the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911 or any other official emergency number—emergency numbers vary by location).3Press .If certain features are in use (Keyguard, fixed dialing, restrict calls, and so on), you might first need to turn those features off before you can make an emergency call.

8260 User Guide version v. 0.06 [ 112 ]4/21/00When making an emergency call, remember to give all of the necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone might be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident—do not terminate the call until given permission to do so.Radio frequency (RF) signalsYour wireless handheld portable telephone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines that included safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:ANSI C95.1 (1992)*, NCRP Report 86 (1986)*, ICNIRP (1996)*.Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only Nokia approved accessories. When carrying the phone while it is on, place the phone in Nokia approved belt clip, carrying case or holster, or place the phone in a pocket so that the keypad faces your body.*American National Standards Institute, National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
