• ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off your 
device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger. Use the 
device only in its normal operating positions. To maintain compliance with radio frequency 
exposure guidelines only use accessories approved by Nokia for use with this device. When 
the device is on and being worn on the body, always use an approved carrying case. 
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 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.

Reference Information
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.
2
Press the End key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the phone 
for calls. 
3
Key in the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency numbers 
vary by location. 
4
Press the Talk 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)
NOKIA PHONE MODELS MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S 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 values as 
reported to the FCC are as follows:
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories 
and FCC requirements). 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 these phone models with all reported 
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information 
on these model phones 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 L JPNKC-1X for the Nokia 
1220 and Nokia 1221 phones or L JPNKW-1X for the Nokia 1260 phone.

Reference Information
For body-worn operation, these Nokia phone models have been tested and meet the FCC RF 
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the 
handset a minimum of 7/8-inch (2.2 cm) from the body. Use of other accessories may not 
ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
*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.
