  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, buy 
a new 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. Always try 
to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). 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! Dispose of batteries according to local 
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

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.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your 
device immediately.
HEARING AID
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference 
occurs, consult your service provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic 
systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic 
antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag 
systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer or its representative 
of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle. 
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty 
that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device 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 device, its 
parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an 
air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including installed or  
						

							98 Copyright © 2003 Nokia Reference information
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.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere 
and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas 
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in 
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. 
Switch off the device at refuelling points such as near gas pumps at service 
stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, 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 liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and 
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal 
powders.
FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless device while in the air. 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, legal action, or both.
  EMERGENCY CALLS
Warning: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: 
1If 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.

CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENTS 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/kg.* 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 -
FCCID # PPIRH-19 is 0.72 W/kg
FCCID # PPIRH-50 is 0.98 W/kg
When worn on the body, as described in this user guide:
FCCID # PPIRH-19 is 0.58 W/kg
FCCID # PPIRH-50 is 0.71 W/kg
Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available 
enhancements and FCC requirements. 
						

							Nokia 3100 User Guide 101Copyright © 2003 Nokia
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 PPIRH-
19 and PPIRH-50.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF 
exposure guidelines for use with a carry case, belt clip, or holder that contains no 
metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) from the 
body. Use of other carry cases, belt clips, or holders may not ensure compliance 
with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are 
not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 7/8 inch (2.2 
cm) from your body when the phone is switched on.
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the 
public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) 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 
www.nokia.com.
