When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your cellular phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident - do not end the call until given permission to do so.

Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992)*, NCRP Report 86 (1986)*, ICNIRP (1996)*.

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

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, use 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.

Using This Guide

The cellular phone described in this guide is approved for use in AMPS networks.

A number of features included in this guide are called Network Services. They are special services provided by cellular service providers. Before you can take advantage of any of these Network Services, you must subscribe to the service(s) you require from your home service provider. You can then activate these functions as described in this guide.

The manual activation commands for various network services are not presented in this guide (e.g., using * and # characters for activating or deactivating services). The phone nevertheless is capable of handling commands given in that form. For these commands, please consult with your service providers.
