Page 22: First Start-Up
First start-up Note: Keep all miniature SIM cards out of the reach of small children. When you subscribe for service, your service provider gives you a SIM card and a phone number. The SIM card identifies your number to your service provider. If you have several GSM 1900 phones, you can move the phone number from one phone to another by moving the SIM card to the phone you wish to use.
Page 23 3 Slide the SIM card into the SIM card slot: ensure that the gold contacts of the SIM card are facing down and that the bevelled corner of the card is on the right. See Figure 3. Figure 3 When the card is properly inserted into the SIM card slot, the bevelled corner remains visible, as shown in Figure 4.
Page 24 4 When you are sure that the SIM card is correctly installed, replace the battery. If there is little or no charge in the battery, it is recommended that you connect the communicator to the charger and start charging the battery before continuing with the start-up procedure.
Page 25: Memory Card
Memory card The memory card supplied with your Nokia 9290 Communicator is already inserted in the memory card slot. You can use a memory card to manage your documents, contacts databases, applications, backups, and so on. Use the items on the memory card in the same way as corresponding items on the communicator.
Page 26: Charging The Battery
Figure 5 4 When you have secured the card in place, close the hatch. Charging the battery Note: See important safety information on battery usage on page 9. Tip: To check the current 1 Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the communicator, as shown battery level, see the battery in Figure 6.
Page 27: Battery Information
2 Connect the charger to the proper voltage AC wall outlet. While charging is in progress, the battery level indicator scrolls on the phone display. 3 When the battery is fully charged, the bars stop scrolling and four bars are displayed.
Page 28 Leaving the battery in hot or cold conditions, 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 +15°C (+59°F) and +25°C (+77°F). A communicator with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged.
Page 29 Battery operation time is affected by the following: whether both the phone and the communicator interface are on, radio signal strength, various phone settings, and the length of the screen blanker period. It is always recommended to keep a charged battery in the communicator. Keeping the battery charged maximizes the lifetime of the backup battery supplying power to the real-time clock of the communicator.

Page 298: Electronic Devices
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.
Page 299: Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
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.
Page 300 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.
Page 301: Emergency Calls
Emergency Calls IMPORTANT! The Nokia 9290 Communicator, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline systems as well as user-programed 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).
Page 302 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.

A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique combination of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone. Quite simply, the wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate by voice--almost anywhere, anytime--with the boss, with a client, with the kids, with emergency personnel or even with the police.
Page 331 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an address book or business card, or writing a "to do" list while driving a car, you are not watching where you are going. It’s common sense.
