20. Reference information
■ Battery information
Charging and discharging
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,
replace the 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-circuiting 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-circuiting 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 and its ability
to charge. Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). 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 as they may explode. Batteries may also
explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please
recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Nokia battery authentication guidelines
Always use original Nokia batteries for your safety. To check that you are getting
an original Nokia battery, purchase it from an authorized Nokia dealer, look for
the Nokia Original Enhancements logo on the packaging, and inspect the hologram
label using the following steps:
R e f e r e n c e i n f o r m a t i o n
82
Successful completion of the four steps is not a total assurance of the authenticity
of the battery. If you have any reason to believe that your battery is not an authentic
original Nokia battery, you should refrain from using it and take it to the nearest
authorized Nokia service point or dealer for assistance. Your authorized Nokia
service point or dealer will inspect the battery for authenticity. If authenticity
cannot be verified, return the battery to the place of purchase.
Authenticate hologram
1. When looking at the hologram label, you should see
the Nokia connecting hands symbol from one angle
and the Nokia Original Enhancements logo when
looking from another angle.
2. When you angle the hologram. to the left, right,
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.nokia.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.

be attracted by the earpiece. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage
media near the device, because information stored on them may be erased.
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, 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 your phone 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.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 in (15.3 cm)
be maintained between a 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.
To minimize the potential for interference, persons with pacemakers should
•
Always keep the device more than 6 in (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker when
the device is switched on
•
Not carry the device in a breast pocket
•
Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker

■ Emergency calls
Important: Wireless phones, including this phone, operate using radio
signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed
functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be
guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any wireless phone for
essential communications like medical emergencies.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength. Some
networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the phone.
2. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
phone for calls.
3. Enter the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency
numbers vary by location.
4. Press the call key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before
you can make an emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider.
When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately
as possible. Your wireless 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.
■ Certification Information (SAR)
THESE MODEL PHONES MEET INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES 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
recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits 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 and guidelines include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of the public, regardless
of age and health and to account for any variations in measurements.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
R e f e r e n c e i n f o r m a t i o n
86
The actual SAR level of an operating device can be well below the maximum
value because the device is designed to use only the power required to reach the
network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how
close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value when tested
according to international testing procedures for use at the ear for device type
RM-13 is 0.50 W/kg and for device type RM-33 is 0.45 W/kg.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements
and the network band. Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in
different SAR values. Additional SAR information may be provided under product
information at www.nokia.com.
USA and Canada: The SAR limit of USA (FCC) and Canada (IC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged
over 1 gram of tissue. Device type RM-13 has also been tested against this SAR
limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product
certification for use at the ear is 0.46 W/kg and when properly worn on the body
is 0.37 W/kg. Information about this device can be found on the FCC's website at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid by searching the equipment authorization system
using FCC ID: QTKRM-13.
Device type RM-33 has also been tested against this SAR limit. The highest SAR
value reported under this standard during product certification for use at the ear
is 0.64 W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 0.77 W/kg. Information about
this device can be found on the FCC's website at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
by searching the equipment authorization system using FCC ID: QTKRM-33.
