Write and send faxes, mail and short messages
There are two ways you can start creating faxes, mail and short messages in the
Messaging application:
Tip: If you are already
writing a message or fax and
want to start on a new
message, press the Menu
key and select File > New
short message or New fax.
•Press any of the following commands in the main view of Messaging: Write
fax, Write mail or Write short message.
•Press the Menu key in the main view of Messaging and select Write > New
message…. Then select the appropriate message type.
You can also send send faxes, mail and short messages in all the applications
where you can find the option File > Send after pressing the Menu key.
Tip: When you start
writing a new fax, mail or
short message, a temporary
copy of it is automatically
stored in the Drafts folder. It
is removed from Drafts and
placed in Outbox once you
press Send.
If you want to save, but not send a fax, mail or short message you have just written
in the corresponding editor, press Close. The message is saved in the Drafts folder.
The saved message replaces the previously saved version of the same message. To
revert back to the previously saved version of the mail or fax, press the Menu key
and select File > Discard changes. Note that this is not possible with short messages.
Select recipients
There are two ways to select recipients to your fax, mail and short messages:
Note: A fax can have only one recipient.
1Press Recipient in the corresponding message editor. A dialog listing your
contacts opens, see figure 79.
206
Messaging
Figure 79
Tip: You can select more
than one contact at a time,
see ‘Select several items at
once’ on page 72.

The right frame shows the contacts you have already selected; to remove a
contact, select it and press Remove.
3Press Done.
You can also just type in the first letters or the whole name of the recipient into
the header of the fax, mail or short message and check if the letters or name match
an entry in your contacts database:
1Type in the name of the recipient into the header of the message.
2Press the Menu key and select Tools > Check names.
Tip: In the case of mail,
you need to select the
contacts to the appropriate
fields in the dialog by
pressing To, Cc or Bcc.
3If the name you have entered matches to more than one name, or if the person
has more than one GSM phone number, fax number or mail address, a selection
list appears.
Select the correct name, phone number, or address from the list and press
Select.
Checked recipients are moved to separate lines in the header of the message.
Note that a fax can have only one recipient.
4To add another recipient to a mail or short message, press Enter after a checked
recipient or insert the semicolon “;” as a separator.
207
Messaging
To delete a checked recipient, move the cursor to the end of the entry and press
backspace.
Avoid low memory
You should regularly delete messages from your Inbox and Sent folders and delete
retrieved mail from the communicator memory to free up memory space.
WARNING! If you do not use this method to delete mail messages from your
communicator, the messages may also be permanently deleted
from your remote mailbox.
Tip: Use a PC mail client
to move mail messages from
your remote inbox to other
folders for archiving. If you
keep the number of
messages in the remote
inbox to a minimum, your
communicator has more
available memory and the
mail connection is faster.
To delete dowloaded mail messages from the communicator:
1Press the Menu key in the main view of Messaging and select Tools > Message
storage…. A dialog with two pages opens.
2On the Communicator page you can choose to delete all mail messages or
messages older than a given time period. To delete selected messages, press
Delete now. Messages are deleted from your communicator’s memory, but they
are not deleted from your remote mailbox.
On the Memory page, you can delete or move messages from the current store.
To change the store in use, press Change. To move the message storage from
communicator’s memory to a memory card or vice versa, press Move. To delete
all the messages in the selected message storage, press Delete.
Tip: See ‘Mail
attachments’ on page 223
to delete attachments from
received mail messages.
WARNING: Deleting the message storage deletes permanently all
messages and mailbox folders and restores all messaging
settings to factory defaults.
208
Messaging
Note: If you create a new message store to a memory card and remove the card
a new storage must then be created in the internal memory when new
messages are received. This leads to a situation where you cannot move
messages from one memory storage to another, since only one message
store at a time can be in use.
Fax
Tip: For more advanced
word processing, use
Document instead of the fax
editor.
You can write and send faxes in the fax editor.

a remote mailbox, you can delete only messages, not folders. When online, you can
delete, rename or create new folders in your remote mailbox.
Note: Any changes you make in the remote mailbox folders while offline take
effect in your remote mailbox the next time you go online and
synchronize. For example, if you delete a mail message from your
communicator when offline, the message will be deleted from the
remote mailbox the next time you connect to the mailbox.
If you want to delete a message from your communicator to save memory, see
‘Avoid low memory’ on page 207.
Managing your mail offline enables you to save in connection costs and work in
conditions that do not allow data connection, such as on aircraft. For information
about using communicator on an aircraft, see ‘Flight profile’ on page 133.
Remember also relevant warnings, see ‘Important safety information’ on page 309.
PC Mail
Whereas you can send and receive Internet mail over a data call, you cannot send
PC mail from the communicator. PC mail is mail you can read, write and edit on
your communicator, but which you can send and receive only through a PC, the
next time you synchronize your communicator with the PC.

Messaging
Mail synchronization with your PC
Synchronization is the process of making the contents of your mail messages and
mail folders identical on both your communicator and your PC. This is done by
copying and combining information between the two machines. For more
information, see PC Suite Guide on the sales package CD-ROM.
Tip: Before you can
synchronize your mail, you
must install PC mail
software from the sales
package CD-ROM. See
‘Install software from the
CD-ROM’ on page 81.
Mail synchronization copies the messages between your communicator and your
PC E-mail program to allow you use either machine for reading and replying to
messages.
You can convert Internet mail to PC mail so that it is synchronized with a PC, or
convert PC mail to Internet mail so that it can be sent directly from the
communicator. All synchronization settings are defined on the PC. The only setting
you can do on your communicator is to delete the account you are using.
Create new PC mail
Note: You need to have set a mail account on your remote PC to be able to
create new PC mail.
1Press the Menu key in the main view of Messaging and select Write > New
message…. A selection list appears.
2Select PC mail and press OK.
If you have more than one PC account, a dialog opens indicating which PC
account will be used when sending the PC mail. Select the PC account and press
OK.
3Write the PC mail in the mail editor.
226
Messaging
Convert to PC or Internet mail
Tip: You can view and
edit PC mail just like
Internet mail on your
communicator.
Note: HTML messages cannot be converted since PC mail does not support the
sending of HTML messages. You must change the message type to plain
text or non-MIME type in the Sending options dialog, before you can
convert the message to PC mail. See page 226 for more information.
PC and Internet mail appear together in the folders.
1Select the mail message or messages you wish to convert.
Tip: PC mail is
distinguished from Internet
mail by a different icon.
2Press the Menu key and select Tools > Convert to internet mail or Convert to PC
mail, depending on the type of mail you wish to convert.
3If there are multiple PC mail or SMTP services defined, a selection list of
available services defined in the messaging server will be shown. Select the
service and press Convert.
Note: You can convert several mails at the same time, but make sure that the
mails are of the same type, either Internet or PC mail.
Short Message Service
Tip: Your service provider
may send you smart
messages in the form of
short messages; these
messages may include, for
example, configuration
settings. For details, contact
your service provider.
The Short Message Service (SMS) enables you to send and receive short messages
over the digital wireless system.
Short messages can be sent or received even during voice, data, and fax calls.
Messages can be read in any mobile phone that has the capability. If the receiving
phone is switched off at the time of sending, the short message center continues
to attempt to send the message until the validity period allowed by the system
expires.

Messaging
Advanced page
Reply via same center: This system service allows the recipient of your short
message to reply using your message center. If you chooseYes and the
recipient replies to your message, the return message is sent using the

subscribed to the Short Message Service, is able to a reply to a message,
and uses a device which supports this feature. Note also that the system
must support this feature.
Include original in reply: Specifies whether text in the received short message is
quoted when you make a reply. If you chooseYes, the contents of the
message body are copied to a new short message.
Concatenation: If set to No, messages longer than 160 characters are sent as
several short messages. If set to Yes, messages that are longer than 160
characters are sent as several messages, but if the recipient has a Nokia
communicator, the messages are received as one long message.

Security
Here you can define the phone security level of your communicator.
257
Extras
IMPORTANT: The default lock code is 12345. For security reasons, it is
imperative that you change the lock code. Keep the code secret and in a
safe place, separate from the communicator.
The codes are shown as asterisks. If you are changing a code, you will be prompted
for the current code and then the new code twice.
PIN code request:
If you set the PIN code request On, the communicator requests that you
enter the code every time you turn on the phone. If you enter the PIN code
incorrectly three times in succession, you will need a PUK code to unblock
the SIM card. When the SIM card is blocked, you cannot send or receive
any documents or calls except calls to preprogramed emergency numbers.
Otherwise, the communicator can be used normally. You need the PIN
code to change this setting.
Note: This setting cannot be changed, if the phone is switched off or if there is
no valid SIM card inserted.
Note: Some SIM cards do not allow you to turn the PIN code request off.
Autolock period:
Determines the security time-out period, after which the communicator
will lock. The options are None/2 minutes/5 minutes/10 minutes. The last
option allows you to define the number of minutes yourself. When the
communicator is locked, you can make emergency calls to predefined
numbers using the cover phone. You can also answer incoming calls and
make emergency calls using the Telephone application. All other actions
are blocked. The timer is reset by any input, data transfer, printing, and so
on. You need the lock code to change this setting.
258
Extras
Lock if SIM card is changed:
If set On, every time the phone is switched on this security option checks
whether the SIM card in the communicator has been changed. If the SIM
card has been changed and the new SIM card has not been used with your
communicator previously, the communicator locks itself until the lock
code is correctly entered. The communicator recognizes five different SIM
cards as the owner’s cards. You need the lock code to change this setting.
Tip: Changing the PIN
code requires that PIN code
request is selected, the
phone is on, and that there
is a valid SIM card inserted.
PIN code:
This setting allows you to change the PIN code. The new PIN code must
be from 4 to 8 digits long.
PIN2 code:
This setting allows you to change the PIN2 code. The PIN2 code is required
to access some functions, such as the call cost settings, which must be
supported by your SIM card. If you enter an incorrect PIN2 code three
times in succession, you will need a PUK2 code to unblock the PIN2 code.
The new PIN2 code must be from 4 to 8 digits long.
Lock code:
This setting allows you to change the lock code. The default lock code is
12345. The new lock code must be from 5 to 10 digits long. If you enter
an incorrect lock code five times in succession, the phone will be locked
for five minutes after which you can try again. If you try again within less
than five minutes, you have to wait five minutes more before a code can
be accepted.
259
Extras
Tip: Changing the
restriction password
requires that the phone is on
and the Call restriction
service is activated for your
SIM card.
Restriction password:
This setting allows you to change the restriction password. If you enter an
incorrect password three times in succession, the password is blocked and
you must ask the system service provider for a new password.
Note: Avoid using codes that are similar to emergency numbers to prevent
accidental dialing of the emergency number.
Note: Even when the communicator is locked, it is possible to call to the
emergency number preprogramed into the phone (for example, 911 or
other official emergency number).
Data call restrictions
Tip: Use data call
restrictions to limit the use
of the phone, if you borrow
it to someone temporarily.
Here you can prevent or allow the following data call types:
Note: You need a restriction password to modify these settings.
Outgoing calls: When activated, prohibits making data calls.
Incoming calls: When activated, prohibits receiving data calls.
International calls: When activated, prohibits making international calls.
Tip: To check the current
status of a restriction
option, select the option and
press Check status.
Incoming calls when roaming: When activated, prohibits receiving calls when
roaming.
International except to home country: When activated, prohibits making
international calls to all countries except to the country that has been
defined as the home country.
Note: Calls described here as international may in some cases be made between
regions of the same nation.

Certificate manager
With Certificate manager you can manage digital certificates which you use when
connecting to WWW sites, WAP services, mail servers, and when installing
software. You need these certificates when you:
•want to connect to an online bank or some other site or remote server for
actions that involve transferring confidential information,
•want to minimize the risk of viruses or other malicous software and be sure of
the authenticity of software when downloading and installing it.
Note however, that even if the use of certificates makes the risks involved in
remote connections and software installation considerably smaller, they must be
used correctly in order to benefit from increased security. The existence of a
certificate does not offer any protection by itself; Certificate manager must
contain correct, authentic, and trusted certificates for increased security to be
available.

Troubleshooting
14. Troubleshooting
You can visit Forum Nokia at www.forum.nokia.com for information and support
material related to the communicator.
WARNING! You must backup all your data on the communicator BEFORE
sending it in for repairs. All hardware is sent back to you clean.
Nokia is not responsible for any data that is on the machine when
it is sent in. Please call Customer Care before sending in your
communicator.
1. Phone or communicator interface does not start; both displays remain blank
Make sure that the battery is properly installed and charged.
Make sure that the contacts on the battery and the desktop stand are clean.
The battery charge may be too low for operation. Check the display and listen for
the low battery warning tones. Charge the battery as described on page 67. If the
NOT CHARGING message is displayed, the charging is suspended. Temperature
extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it to cool down or
warm up first. Wait for a while, disconnect the charger, connect it again and retry.
If charging still fails, contact your local Nokia dealer.
2. Communicator interface does not start; cover phone display is flashing
The communicator memory is corrupted. Contact your local Nokia dealer.
3. The battery is attached, but the phone does not work
297
Troubleshooting
Try to switch on the phone by pressing the key for several seconds.
Check that the flight mode is not active. For more information see ‘Flight profile’
on page 133.
Restart the communicator by removing the battery, waiting thirty seconds, and
replacing it again.
Try charging the communicator. If you see the battery level indicator on the phone
but the phone does not work, contact your local Nokia dealer.
Check the signal strength indicator: you might be outside the system service area.
Make sure that the telephone service is activated for your SIM card.
Check if there is an error message on the display after switching on. If so, contact
your local dealer.
Check that the SIM card is correctly installed, see the Getting Started Guide.
4. Communicator interface is not activated or applications stop responding
Close the cover and open it again. If this does not help, close the cover and remove
the battery. Replace the battery and open the cover again. Wait while the
communicator performs a self-test and starts.
Try charging the communicator.
If the device does not respond even after several restarts (disconnect the charger,
take battery out, wait for 30 seconds, and replace the battery), remove all
temporary files as follows:
1Disconnect the charger and remove the battery to restart the communicator.
2Insert the battery and open the cover.
298
Troubleshooting
3When you see the Nokia 9290 Communicator Welcome screen, immediately
press and hold down the Ctrl+Shift+I keys. The I key should be pressed last.
4Temporary files are deleted. This empties the cache, removes cookies, resets
plugin registrations and resets the settings you have made in some of the
applications including all Internet and profile settings, Desk shortcuts and
display settings. All other applications and files stay intact.
If the procedures described above do not help, as a last resort before contacting
your local dealer you can try formatting the internal memory of the communicator.
Note that formatting the memory removes all items except the standard
applications that have been factory pre-installed in ROM memory! If you have
made a full backup with PC Suite, you can use PC Suite to format the memory and
restore the backed-up files. If you have made a backup to a memory card, see ‘Back
up and restore data to and from the memory card’ on page 259. If you have not
made a backup, but you still must format the internal memory, proceed as follows:
Tip: If you have to give
away your Communicator, it
is a good idea to format the
device and restore the
factory-installed software
from the CD-ROM. This way
the next user will be able to
start with a fresh device.
1Disconnect the charger and remove the battery to restart the communicator.
2Insert the battery and open the cover.
3When you see the Nokia 9290 Communicator Welcome screen, immediately
press and hold down the Ctrl+Shift+F keys. The F key should be pressed last.
4Formatting starts. It takes at least two minutes to complete.
5With Windows Explorer, locate the All_Nokia_9290_data.sis installation package
in the Preinstalled in device folder of the sales package CD-ROM and install it.
5. Cannot make or receive calls
Check to see if you have ‘Flight’ profile turned on. When this profile is active you
cannot make or receive calls.
Make sure that the phone is not off. Close the cover and switch on the phone.
299
Troubleshooting
If you get the message INVALID SIM CARD, your SIM card cannot be used in the
communicator. Contact you dealer or system service provider.
Check the status of your call restrictions and forwards, see ‘System services
settings’ on page 124.
The phone may be busy: data or fax is being sent or received, or the communicator
is being used as a fax modem. Wait for the data/fax transmission to end, or drop
the call by pressing the key on the phone keypad.
6. Call quality is poor
Your location may not allow better call quality. This problem may occur especially
in a moving car or train. Move to a location where the radio signal reception is
better. See ‘GSM data transmission’ on page 53.
Reception is usually better above ground level, outdoors and while stationary.
Sometimes even moving the communicator slightly will improve reception. You
can also try using the communicator in the handsfree mode, see page 112.
Remember to turn the antenna to an upright position.
7. Cannot forward or bar voice, fax or data calls
You may have not subscribed to the service in question, or it is not supported by
the system, or the message center number and the number to which you want to
forward your calls may be missing or incorrect.
Fax forwards and restrictions are defined in Tools > Account settings… in the
Messaging application. Data restriction is set in the in the Data call restrictions in
Control panel. Data calls cannot be forwarded.
8. Cannot select a contact
300
Troubleshooting
If you cannot select a contact in the Telephone, Fax, SMS or Mail directory, the
contact card does not have a telephone number, fax number, wireless phone
number or an e-mail address. Add the missing information to the contact card in
the Contacts application.
9. Cannot send or receive faxes, short messages or mail
Make sure that you have subscribed to these system services.
The phone may be off, or the communicator is low on memory.
The number format you use may be invalid, or the called number has not answered
within 10 tries, or you are calling to a wrong phone number.
The phone may be busy: data or fax is being sent or received, the communicator is
being used as a fax modem. Wait for the data/fax transmission to end, or drop the
call by pressing the key on the phone keypad.
Fax/data restrictions or fax forwards may be active. You can define the Fax
restrictions/forwards in Tools > Account settings… in Messaging.
Fax reception: Your SIM card may not have a fax number.
Mail reception: You have not subscribed to a remote mailbox service, or the mail
service you are using uses another mail protocol than what you have selected.
(Check with our Internet Service Provider whether you should be using POP3 or
IMAP4.) If you are using secure connections, your remote mailbox service also has
to support secure connections. There may also be a transient problem with the
remote mailbox service, or the Internet servers between the communicator and the
remote mailbox. Try again after a couple of minutes, and then contact your
Internet Service Provider.
301
Troubleshooting
Mail sending: You have not subscribed to a remote mailbox service, or the mail
server delivering your mail does not comply with the SMTP protocol. If you are
using secure connections, your remote mailbox service also has to support secure
connections. There may also be a transient problem with the remote mailbox
service, or the Internet servers between the communicator and the remote
mailbox. Try again after a couple of minutes, and then contact your Internet
Service Provider. If you are using the Upon request sending option, mail must be
sent in the Document outbox, see ‘Outbox’ on page 203.
If you receive service provider error messages when connecting to your remote
mailbox, contact your remote mailbox service provider. Your remote mailbox may
contain corrupted mail messages or the mail server settings may be incorrect.
If you have problems sending mail with attachments, select Cancel sending and
try again. If this does not help, try the key combination Shift-Tab-right arrow.
Some mail attachments can take up a significant amount of memory and therefore
freeing some memory by deleting something from your communicator memory
might also help.
Short message sending: You have not subscribed to the Short Message Service or
the message center number is missing or incorrect. Contact your service provider.
The reason for failure may also depend on the system: the system does not support
SMS, fax, or data/mail; the system is out of order or busy; the signal strength is not
adequate for sending.
10. Phone display shows “Message too long” when I try to open a received
short message.
The received message is over 1377 characters long. Use the Messaging application
to read it.
302
Troubleshooting
11. Cannot establish an Internet connection
If you are trying to connect to the Internet (in order to use WWW or to receive or
send mail), but the operation does not succeed, you can use the following checklist
to find out where the problem might be located:
1Is the data call active when you are trying to connect? Look at the data call
indicator on the phone side. If the data call is dropped after a few seconds after
starting to connect, check the phone number in the Internet Access settings.
See page 173 for details.
If the phone number is correct, the reason may be in poor system conditions, or
a congested GSM network. Also check the Data call settings in the Internet
Access settings (connection type, data call type, and maximum connection
speed). See page 173 for details.
Contact your system service provider if you have problems with data call
establishment, and your Internet Service Provider to find out the correct remote
modem type. If you are roaming outside your home system, you might want to
try the basic GSM data call settings described in a tip on page 178.
2If the data call is active, but you cannot receive or send mail, try to use the
WWW browser to connect to your Internet Service Provider's WWW pages. If
that works, the problem is most likely in the mail settings or the remote mailbox
service. For more information, see Mail settings on page 214.
3If the data call is active, but you cannot download WWW pages with the WWW
browser, make note of the most recent status indication displayed to you in the
title bar of the WWW browser.
•If the status indication reads Waiting for reply from host or Looking up host
address, it is likely that the WWW address (URL) has been mistyped, or there
is a problem with proxy server settings in the Internet Access Point or the
proxy server itself, or there is a transient problem with the WWW server or
303
Troubleshooting
Internet connections between the WWW server and your Internet Service
Provider. Check the proxy server settings explained on page 177. Disconnect
the call, wait for a couple of minutes, and retry the connection. If the
connection still does not succeed, contact your Internet Service Provider.
•If the status indication reads Logging into system or Connected, the problem is
most likely in your Internet Access Point settings (See page 173 for details)
or your Internet Service Provider's dial-up system, or you might need a script
in order to connect to your Internet Service Provider. Disconnect the data
call, wait for a couple of minutes, and retry the connection. If the connection
still does not succeed, contact your Internet Service Provider.
4If your data call is unexpectedly dropped, this may be a case of poor system
conditions, congestion in the phone system, or a too low inactivity period
setting.
If you are unable to connect to the Internet after repeated attempts, and have
successfully used your Internet connection previously, or get error messages when
starting the WWW browser, remove and replace the battery and try again.
12. Infrared problems
The communicator may be connected to a PC, laptop, printer, digital camera,
wireless phone or another communicator via the infrared connection.
If you are using the PC Suite for Nokia 9290 Communicator program on your PC,
or if you want to receive data from another communicator or a digital camera, you
must activate the Infrared connection on your communicator before the
connection is made. See PC Suite Guide in the sales package CD-ROM and ‘Activate
the infrared connection’ on page 82 of this guide.
304
Troubleshooting
The PC to which you want to establish the connection must have an IrDA
compatible infrared port; installed and activated IrDA drivers; and Microsoft
Windows 95/98/98SE/Me. For more information on IrDA drivers and their use in
Windows, contact Microsoft.
If you have an IBM Thinkpad laptop with Windows 98 SE installed, you may
encounter problems with infrared connections. If problems occur, proceed as
follows:
1Click the Windows Start button and select Settings > Control Panel.
2In the Windows 98 Control Panel, open System.
3In the System properties dialog, select the Device Manager tab.
4Under System Adapters, select IBM Thinkpad Fast Infrared Port and click the
Properties button. IBM Thinkpad Fast Infrared Port Properties dialog opens.
5Click the Driver tab and then click the Update Driver... button. Update Device
Driver Wizard starts.
6Click Next.
7Select the Install one of the other drivers option and click the View List... button.
8Infrared PnP Serial Port has been found. Click OK.
9Click Next.
10 Infrared PnP Serial Port is ready to be installed. Click Next.
11 The new driver has been installed. Click Finish.
12 The computer must be restarted before the new driver can be taken to use. Click
Yes to restart the computer.
13. Printing problems
If you are using the infrared connection, the infrared port of the printer must be
compatible to the IrDA standard. See ‘Print’ on page 78.
305
Troubleshooting
If you fail to establish an infrared connection, transfer the file to a PC and use the
PC to print the document. Alternatively, you can fax the document to the nearest
fax machine. See ‘Write and send a new fax’ on page 207.
14. PC connectivity problems
Make sure that PC Suite for Nokia 9290 Communicator is installed and running on
your PC. See the PC Suite Guide for more information.
If you use a cable connection, check that the cable is properly attached at both
ends.
If you use an infrared connection, check that the IR ports are facing each other and
the route between the ports is unobstructed.
Check that you are using the correct serial port (COM) on your PC.
For all other PC Suite problems, see the PC Suite Guide and the PC Suite online help
‘Troubleshooting’ section.
15. Fax modem problems
When you use the communicator as a fax modem, make sure that the
communicator and the PC use the same baud rate. If you use the infrared
connection, the baud rate is set automatically. If you use the cable connection, set
the baud rate in the Fax modem settings. For the PC, the baud rate is set in the
connectivity software of the PC.
If you use the cable connection, fully compatible operation with all PC fax and
terminal software cannot be guaranteed. Consult your dealer. If you have problems
with your PC fax software, use the infrared connection.
306
Troubleshooting
If you have problems establishing a data connection with the remote modem, try
fixing the data transmission rate by using an AT command. Common AT commands
based on the GSM 07.07 standard and supported by the Nokia 9290 Communicator
are listed in the atcomm.txt file on the CD-ROM supplied with the communicator.
You can find this file by clicking ‘AT commands” in ‘PC software section’ on the CD-
ROM. For information on how to use the AT commands and fax modem drivers,
consult the documentation of the telecommunication or fax application that you
use on your PC.
16. Access code problems
The default lock code for Nokia 9290 Communicator is 12345. If you forget or lose
the lock code contact your communicator dealer.
If you forget or lose a PIN or PUK code, or if you have not received such a code,
contact your system service provider.
For information about Internet passwords, contact your Internet service provider.
17. Low on memory
Your communicator can run out of memory just like a PC. There may be several
reasons for that:
•You have too many applications running. Press the Menu key and check the
leftmost menu for tasklist of open applications. Choose the application that
does not have to be open and close it.
•You have received a lot of mail or you have saved large images or other items
that use a lot of memory. To free up communicator memory, remove
unnecessary data, move large items to a memory card or transfer them to your
PC, if possible. See ‘’ on page 206 and PC Suite Guide for details.
307
Troubleshooting
•You have tried to download a large WWW page. See see item 19 on this
troubleshooting list.
You can check the memory usage in the Memory application of Control panel.
See ‘Memory’ on page 269.
18. Cannot connect to the Internet when roaming
You are able to connect to the Internet when in your home country or region. You
are now roaming and your Internet connection does not work. Try using the
settings of a basic GSM data connection. Also check that the phone number of
your Internet Access Point is in international format. See ‘Data call page’ on page
178.
19. ‘Memory’ error note seen when downloading very large WWW pages
Some WWW pages are extremely large because they contain many large images or
tables. These types of pages consume memory in the communicator very quickly.
If, when downloading WWW pages, you see an error note about memory, the first
action is to close any other applications that you may have opened after starting
the WWW browser. To do that, press the Menu key and check the leftmost menu
for tasklist of open applications. Select and close each item.
If you still experience problems, turn off the setting which allows loading images
automatically. One last action is to exit the WWW browser application, start it
again, and try to download the page once more without images.
Note: Removing data files or installing applications does not have effect on the
memory available to the WWW browser.
20. Some of the applications have disappeared or have been accidentally
removed.
308
Troubleshooting
You may have removed or replaced the memory card that was originally inserted
in your communicator.
If you have removed the card, re-insert it.
If you have replaced it, use PC Suite for Nokia 9290 Communicator to install
memory card applications from the Preinstalled in Memory Card folder of the sales
package CD-ROM to the new memory card.
You can also find the installation packages for the other preinstalled applications
in the Preinstalled in device folder of the sales package CD-ROM.
Re-install all the applications that are missing.

Traffic safety
Do not use a communicator while driving a vehicle. If using a communicator, park
the vehicle first. Always secure the communicator in its holder; do not place the
communicator on the passenger seat or where it can break loose in a collision or
sudden stop.
The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle's lights or horn on public roads is
not permitted.
Remember road safety always comes first!
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch
off the phone of your communicator whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it
may cause interference or danger.
When connecting the communicator or any accessory to another device, read its
user guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
310
Reference information
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating
position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Do not point the infrared beam at anyone’s eye or allow it to interfere with other
infrared devices.
To maintain compliance with radio frequency exposure guidelines, always use
Nokia approved accessories. Place the communicator in an approved carrying case
or belt clip when carrying the communicator while the phone is on.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your communicator.
Pacemakers: Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation
of 20 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a hand-held 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 communicator more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on;
Should not carry the communicator in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
Draft
311
Reference information
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off the
phone of your communicator immediately.
Hearing aids: Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service
provider.
Other medical devices: Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including communicators, 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 the phone of your communicator 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.
Vehicles: RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems,
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 notices: Switch off the phone of your communicator in any facility
where posted notices so require.
312
Reference information
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off the phone of your communicator when in any area with 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.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refueling point (service
station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on 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. They include below deck on boats; chemical transfer or storage facilities;
vehicles using liquified 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.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the communicator, or install the
communicator in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and
may invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.
Check regularly 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 communicator, its parts or accessories.
Draft
313
Reference information
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great
force. Do not place objects, including both 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.
Switch off the phone of your communicator 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 system and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of telephone
services to the offender, or legal action or both.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
The Nokia 9290 Communicator, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, wireless and landline systems as well as user-programed functions which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely
solely upon any wireless phone for essential communications (for example,
medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched on and in a
service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible
on all wireless phone systems or when certain system services and/or phone
features are in use. Check with local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1If the device cover is open, close it.
314

2If the phone is not on, switch it on by pressing the key. Some systems may
require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the communicator.
3Press and hold the key for several seconds to ready the phone for calls,
and to end possible active data or fax calls.
4Key in the for your present location (for example, 911 or other official
emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
5Press the key.
If certain features are in use (call restrictions, fixed dialing, system lock, keypad
lock, etc.), you may first need to turn those features off before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information
as accurately as possible. Remember that your communicator may be the only
means of communication at the scene of an accident - do not cut off the call until
given permission to do so.

Certification Information (SAR)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted
by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general,
the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
316
Reference information
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported
to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.43W/kg and when worn on the body,
as described in this user guide, is 0.33W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: PDN RAB-3N.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used with the Nokia accessories supplied or designated
for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure complicance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary

A Guide to Safe and Responsible 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
phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate by voice--almost anywhere,
anytime--with the boss, with a client, with the kids, with emergency personnel or even with
the police. each year, americans make billions of calls from their wireless phones, and the
numbers are rapidly growing.
But an important responsibility accompanies 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 tool, but good judgment must be exercised at all times while driving a motor
vehicle--whether on the phone or not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving requires alertness, caution and
courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic common sense---keep your head up, keep your
eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out for other drivers. It requires
obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within the speed limit. It means using
seatbelts and requiring other passengers to do the same.
But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more. This brochure is a call to
wireless phone users everywhere to make safety their first priority when behind the wheel of
a car. Wireless telecommunications 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 phones, safety is your most important call.
Wireless Phone "Safety Tips"
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless phone which should be easy
to remember.
1Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. Carefully
read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features most
phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the phone
keypad so you can use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the road.
318
Reference information
2When available, use a hands free device. A number of hands free wireless phone
accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device
for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if
available to you.
3Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your wireless phone
within easy reach and 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 voice mail answer
it for you.
4Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person
you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic
or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is
heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5Do not take notes 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
where you are going. It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation
because you are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby
vehicles.
6Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; 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--dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Stressful
or emotional conversations and driving do not mix--they are distracting and even
dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you are talking with
aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations which have the potential
to divert your attention from the road.
8Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the greatest tools
you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations--with your
phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency
number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical emergency. Remember,
it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you
a perfect opportunity to be a "Good Samaritan" in your community. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-
1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
Draft
319
Reference information
10 Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when
necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require attention, but are
not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But you still can use your
wireless 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-emergency wireless
number.
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent a hazard to
everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association and
the wireless industry have conducted educational outreach to inform wireless phone users of
their responsibilities as safe drivers and good citizens. As we approach a new century, more
and more of us will take 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.

Consumer Update on Wireless Phones
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with
using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.
Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave 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 studies 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 difficulty in reproducing those studies,
or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
2. What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
320
Reference information
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 devices.
However, the agency has authority to take 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 the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify 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 regulatory actions, FDA has urged the
wireless phone industry to take 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 phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not
necessary for device function; and
•Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on
possible effects 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 ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The
following agencies belong to this working group:
•National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
•Environmental Protection Agency
•Federal Communications Commission
•Occupational Safety and Health Administration
•National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities,
as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety
guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety
questions about wireless phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon. While these
base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF
exposures that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower
than those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the
safety questions discussed in this document.
Draft
321
Reference information
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 phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user
to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone
and the user’s head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission
safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and
safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure
to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing
distance 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 done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered
from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of
radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded
conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies,
however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in
laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development
used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals
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 people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what
the results of such studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them,
the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and
primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or
salivary gland, leukemia, or other 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 long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in
these studies was around three years.
322
Reference information
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones
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
studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would be
needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological
studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more
years follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the
time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during
day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle
at which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
6. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators
around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted to address
important questions about the effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result 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 information documents on EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless
phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in
government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted
through contracts to independent investigators. The initial research will include both
laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad
assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest research developments
around the world.
7. How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy exposure I can get by
using my wireless phone?
Draft
323
Reference information
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures. FCC established these
guidelines in consultation with FDA and the other federal health and safety 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 consistent with the safety standards
developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into
consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from the
wireless phone and is set well below levels known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model of phone
to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating
the FCC identification number on your phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level
in the online listing.
8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from
wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard
for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other
wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The
standard, Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental
Techniques, sets forth the first consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which
RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue-simulating
model of the human head. Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve
the consistency of measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is
the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either 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 determine whether 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. But 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, reducing the amount of time spent
using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
324
Reference information
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place
more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops
off dramatically 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 scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you
are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those
described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children
and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the
measures described 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 will reduce RF exposure.Some groups sponsored by other national governments
have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the
government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation
in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes
brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by
children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.
11.What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices.
For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic
interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless
telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA,
medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This
standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are
safe from wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld
wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and
performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that that no interference
occurs when a person uses a compatible phone and a accompanied hearing aid at the same
time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with other
medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to
assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Battery safety
Charging and Discharging
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles!
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually
wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge your battery
only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. Unplug the charger when
not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week,
since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery
will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
328
Reference information
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. 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 may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged.
Batteries' performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (for example, recycling). Do not
dispose as household waste.
