Traffic safety

•Do not use the communicator while driving a vehicle. Park the vehicle before using the communicator.

•Always secure the communicator in its holder, and ensure that the locking mechanism on top of the holder is properly engaged; 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 your communicator’s phone interface whenever it is forbidden to use a mobile phone, or when it may cause interference or danger.

•Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including the Nokia 9000i Communicator, may interfere with the func- tionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufac- turer of the medical device if you have any questions. Other electronic equipment may also be subject to interference.

•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.

•Users are advised to switch off the phone interface 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.

•Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as the communicator, its parts or accessories.

•Only qualified personnel should install or service the communicator in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.

•Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise control systems and other electronic systems can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio signals. Check regularly that all cellular phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.

•Remember to make backup copies of all important data to protect against its possible loss or alteration.

•When connecting the communicator to a PC or printer, please refer to the User’s Guides of those devices for detailed safety instructions.

•The infrared beam of the communicator may interfere with the functioning of other infrared devices that are not IrDA certified. Do not point the infrared beam at anyone’s eye.
