1-2 Important safety information
The phone interface is designed for quickly mak-
ing and receiving calls. It looks and operates like 
other Nokia cellular phones (except that the ear-
piece and microphone are on the backside of the 
device). The phone interface is switched on and 
off by pressing the   button on the cover.
IMPORTANT!
 Do not switch on the phone inter-
face when cellular phone use is prohibited or 
when it may cause interference or danger.
The communicator interface has many organiser 
and communication applications. The QWERTY 
keyboard, command buttons and large display 
make using the applications easy. The communi-
cator interface has no power on/off button – the 
communicator interface activates itself when 
you open the cover and deactivates when you 
close the cover.
Important safety information
Traffic safety
•Do not use the communicator while driving a 
vehicle. Park the vehicle before using the 
communicator.
•Always secure the communicator in its 
holder, and ensure that the locking mech-
anism on top of the holder is properly 
engaged; 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 
your communicator’s phone interface 
whenever it is forbidden to use a cellular 
phone, or when it may cause interference or 
danger.
• Operation of any radio transmitting 
equipment, including the Nokia 9000 
Communicator, may interfere with the func-
tionality of inadequately protected medical 
devices. Consult a physician or the manufac-
turer of the medical device if you have any 
questions. Other electronic equipment may 
also be subject to interference.
•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. 
• Users are advised to switch off the phone 
interface 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. 
•Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases 
or explosive materials in the same 
compartment as the communicator, its parts 
or accessories.
• Only qualified personnel should install or 
service the communicator in a vehicle. Faulty 
installation or service may be dangerous and 
may invalidate any warranty which may apply 
to the unit.
•Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic 
anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise 
control systems and other electronic systems 
can malfunction due to the lack of protection 
from radio signals. Check regularly that all 
cellular phone equipment in your vehicle is 
mounted and operating properly.
•Remember to make backup copies of all 
important data to protect against its possible 
loss or alteration.
