17. Important safety
information
Traffic safety
Do not use a communicator while driving a vehicle. If using a communicator,
park the vehicle first. Always secure the communicator in its holder; 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 the phone of your communicator whenever it is forbidden to use it,
or when it may cause interference or danger.
When connecting the communicator or any accessory to another device, read
its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products.
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.
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 in-

terference.
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 (e.g. 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 facilities: 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 9110i 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 (e.g.
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 the cover.
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 (e.g. 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, closed user group,
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.
