 
• EMERGENCY CALLS
Important:
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless 
and land line networks as well as user-programmed 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 networks or when certain network services 
and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers.
If the battery is almost fully discharged when you connect a charger to 
your phone, it might be necessary to wait a few minutes before you will 
be able to make or receive calls.
Emergency numbers vary by location. If the official emergency number 
that has been programmed into your phone differs from the number that 
is used in your current location, do not use the emergency key 9 feature 
(“Use emergency key 9” on page 53) to make the call. Instead, manually 
enter the official number that is used in your current location, then press 
.
If you’re playing a game, using the calculator, or editing (such as when 
using the Minibrowser or editing a phone book entry), press 
to
return to the Start screen before you make an emergency call.

Depending on your provider, you may not be able to use the emergency 
key 9 feature if any of the following conditions exist:
•
Emergency key 9 feature is not activated (“Use emergency key 9” on 
page 53).
•
Keyguard is active (“Use Keyguard to lock the keypad” on page 58).
•
Phone is locked (“Protect your phone with phone lock” on page 56).
•
Call restriction that prevents the call is active (“Restrict calls” on 
page 59).
Note: You may need to turn those features off before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this document and your local service provider.
Make an emergency call
Depending on your phone settings, you may be able to use the emergency 
key 
feature to make the call. (See “Use emergency key 9” on page 53.)
1
If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2
Enter the emergency number for your present location (emergency 
numbers vary by location).
3
Press the Talk key
.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary 
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone 
may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident - 
do not end the call until you have permission to do so.
Note: When you make the call, your phone changes to emergency call
mode. If you choose to exit this mode, emergency operators may 
not be able to contact you. 
Keep your phone in emergency call mode until emergency personnel arrive 
on the scene. In emergency call mode, some menu items may not be available. 
To exit emergency call mode, at the Start screen, press Exit. When the 
question Restore normal service? appears, press OK.

Radio frequency (RF) signals
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/kilogram.* 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. 
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 
1.36 W/kilogram and when worn on the body, as described in this user 
guide, is 1.26 W/kilogram. (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: GMLNSD-1AW.
For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure 
guidelines, use only Nokia approved accessories. When carrying the phone 
while it is on, place the phone in the specific Nokia belt-clip that has been 
tested for compliance.
Use of non-Nokia-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure 
guidelines and should be avoided.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used 
by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kilogram) 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 depending on national reporting 
requirements and the network band. For SAR information in other regions 
please look under product information at http://www.nokia.com.

Care and maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should 
be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfill any 
warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many years. 
When using your phone, battery, charger, OR any accessory:
•
Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of small children’s reach.
•
Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that 
will corrode electronic circuits.
•
Do not use or store it in dusty, dirty areas as its moving parts can be 
damaged.
•
Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of 
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp/melt certain plastics.
•
Do not store it in cold areas. When the phone warms up (to its normal 
operating temperature), moisture can form inside the phone, which 
may damage the phone’s electronic circuit boards.
•
Do not attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the device may 
damage it.
•
Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can break internal 
circuit boards.
•
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents 
to clean it. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-
and-water solution.
•
Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts and prevent 
proper operation.
•
Use only the supplied antenna. Removal or replacement of the 
antenna by anyone other than a Nokia authorized service center is an 
unauthorized modification and invalidates the warranty, can damage 
the phone, and may violate regulations governing radio devices.
•
If the phone, battery, charger, or any accessory is not working properly, 
take it to your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there 
will assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.
