4. Messages
If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send 
and receive messages to compatible phones that also subscribe to a message 
service. If supported by your service provider, you can also send and receive 
multimedia messages, and e-mail. See ’Text entry,’ p. 24.
When composing text messages, picture messages, or multimedia messages, the 
number of characters allowed appears in the top right corner of the message. The 
use of special (Unicode) characters takes up more space. If there are special 
characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message length 
correctly. Before the message is sent, the device tells you if the message exceeds 
the maximum length allowed for one message.
Important: Exercise caution opening messages. Messages may contain 
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display Message sent.

16. Reference information
■Battery information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new 
battery 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 talk and standby times are noticeably shorter 
than normal, buy a new battery. Use only Nokia approved batteries, and recharge 
your battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do 
not leave the battery connected to a charger. Overcharging may shorten its 
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. 
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery 
that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuitring can occur when a 
metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct 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-circuitring 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. Always try 
to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A device with a hot 
or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. 
Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Dispose of batteries according to local 
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
■Nokia battery authentication guidelines

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, 12345678919876543210. 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.nokiausa.com/batterycheck.
What if your battery is not authentic?
If you cannot confirm that your Nokia battery with the hologram label is an 
authentic Nokia battery, please do not use the battery. Take it to the nearest 
authorized Nokia service point or dealer for assistance. The use of a battery that 
is not approved by the manufacturer may be dangerous and may result in poor 
performance and damage to your device and its enhancements. It may also 
invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the device.

■Certification Information (SAR)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR 
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and 
manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) 
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. 
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish 
Additional safety information
105
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 standards for wireless mobile devices employ a unit of 
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by 
the FCC is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg).* Tests for SAR are conducted using 
standard operating positions accepted by the RCC 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 an 
operating device can be well below the maximum value. This is because the 
device 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.
Before a device 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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the 
FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 
1.24 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.26 W/
kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon 
available enhancements 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

Safety is the most important call you will ever make.
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 device 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. 
1. Get 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 device keypad so you can use the speed dial 
function without taking your attention off the road.
2. When 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.
Additional safety information
115
3. Position 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.
4. Suspend 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.
5. Do 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.
6. Dial 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.
7. Do 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.
8. Use 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!
9. Use 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 
Additional safety information
116
emergency where lives 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 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.For more information, please call 1-888-
901-SAFE.

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?
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 radio frequency 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
Additional safety information
119
• 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.
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 radio frequency energy (RF) 
because of the short distance between the device 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 device 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-
Additional safety information
120
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 radio frequency 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.
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 
Additional safety information
121
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 device 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?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency 
Additional safety information
122
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.
Additional safety information
123
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.
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.
Additional safety information
124
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 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.
