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 (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).

Do not point the infrared beam at anyone’s eye or allow it to interfere with other
infrared devices.

To maintain compliance with radio frequency exposure guidelines, always use
Nokia approved accessories. Place the communicator in an approved carrying case
or belt clip when carrying the communicator while the phone is on.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your communicator.

Pacemakers:

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation

of 20 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a hand-held 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. Persons with pacemakers:

Should always keep the communicator more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on;

Should not carry the communicator in a breast pocket;

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for
interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off the
phone of your communicator immediately.

Hearing aids:

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing

aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service
provider.

Other medical devices:

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,

including communicators, 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 the phone of your communicator 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.

Vehicles:

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded

electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems,
air bag systems). Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your
vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.

Posted notices:

Switch off the phone of your communicator in any facility

where posted notices so require.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Switch off the phone of your communicator when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refuelling 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.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
marked. They include below deck on boats; chemical transfer or storage facilities;
vehicles using liquified petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Vehicles

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

Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.

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

For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great
force. Do not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment
in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could
result.

Switch off the phone of your communicator before boarding an aircraft. The use
of wireless telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network and may be illegal.

Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of telephone
services to the offender, or legal action or both.

Emergency Calls

IMPORTANT!

The Nokia 9210 Communicator, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, wireless and landline 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.

To make an emergency call:

1 If the device cover is open, close it.

2 If the phone is not on, switch it on by pressing the

key. Some networks may

require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the communicator.

3 Press and hold the

key for several seconds to ready the phone for calls,

and to end possible active data or fax calls.

4 Key in the emergency number for your present location (for example, 112 or

other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.

5 Press the

key.

If certain features are in use (call barring, fixed dialling, system lock, keypad lock,
etc.), you may first need to turn those features off before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.

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