■ Safety information
Observe the following safety guidelines when installing the car kit:
• Only a qualified service technician should install or service the car kit
using the approved original Nokia parts supplied in the sales
package. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may
invalidate any warranty which may apply to the car kit.
End users should remember that the car kit comprises complex
technical equipment that requires professional installation using
special tools and expert know-how.
• Instructions given in this guide are general guidelines that apply to
the installation of the car kit in an automobile. However, due to the
wide variety of car types and models available on the market, this
guide cannot consider the individual technical requirements relevant
to any particular vehicle. Contact the vehicle manufacturer for
detailed information about the vehicle in question.
• The car kit is suitable for use only in vehicles with 12-V, negative
grounding. Use on other supply voltages or alternative polarity will
damage the equipment.
• Remember that modern automotive systems include onboard
computers where key vehicle parameters are stored. Improper
disconnection of the car battery may cause loss of data,
necessitating extensive effort for reinitialisation of the system. If you
have any concerns, contact your car dealer before any installation
work is done.
• Do not wire the car kit equipment to the high-voltage lines of the
ignition system.
• When installing the parts of the car kit, ensure that none of them
interfere with or hinder the steering or braking systems or other
controls or systems used in the operation of the vehicle (for example,
airbags) or disturb your field of vision while driving. Ensure that the

car kit and any of its components are not installed where you might
come in contact with it in the event of an accident or collision.
When mounting a mobile holder, ensure that the phone display is
clearly visible for the user.
• Your service technician or dealer may be able to provide you with
information on alternatives for mounting the equipment suitably in
your vehicle without requiring drilled holes.
• Do not smoke when working on the car. Ensure that there is no
source of fire or flame nearby.
• Take care not to cause damage to electrical cables, fuel or brake
lines, or safety equipment during installation work.
• 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, and airbag systems. Should you notice a fault
or change in the operation of such a system, contact your car dealer.
• Ensure that cables are placed so that they will not be subject to
mechanical wear and tear (for example, not laid under car seats or
over sharp edges).
