Introduction

The Nokia Observation Camera is a remote imaging device with a motion detector, thermometer, and

microphone. With the camera you can capture images remotely and send them to your multimedia

messaging (MMS) enabled mobile phone with a colour display, or to an e-mail address. You can control

and configure the camera with short messages (SMS), and the PC Suite for Nokia Observation Camera

software is provided for more advanced functions.

Note: National laws and regulations may place restrictions on recording images and regarding

further processing and use of such data. Do not use this feature illegally. Honour the privacy

and other legitimate rights of others and obey all laws governing, for example, data protection,

privacy, and publicity.

Note: The images and messages sent from the camera will be charged to the subscription of the

SIM card in the camera.

The Nokia Observation Camera is approved for use on the GSM 900/1800 network.

To use the Nokia Observation Camera, you need:

• a GPRS enabled mobile subscription with a SIM card and MMS service.

• an MMS and SMS enabled mobile phone with a colour display

• GSM network coverage in the camera premises

• an available e-mail address if you want to receive images to your e-mail.

Note: Check how large MMS messages your mobile phone is capable of receiving. Your network

operator may also restrict the size of MMS messages. Ask your network operator for details.

Before you can use any of these network services, you must subscribe to them through your service

provider and obtain instructions for their use from your service provider.

Note: Some networks may not support all language-dependent characters and/or services.

Note: For availability, rates, and information on using SIM services, contact your SIM card

vendor, e.g. network operator, service provider, or other vendor.

Note: The MMS function can be used only if it is supported by your network operator or service

provider. Only devices that offer compatible multimedia message or e-mail features can receive

and display multimedia messages.

Important: Multimedia message objects may contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your

phone or PC. Do not open any attachment if you are not sure of the trustworthiness of the

sender.

The default setting of the multimedia message service is on ("Allow multimedia reception" is set

"Yes"), and your operator or service provider may charge you for every message you receive.

Warning: Use only power source ACW-6 and enhancements approved by the camera

manufacturer for use with this particular camera model. The use of any other types may

invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the camera, and may be dangerous.

For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer.

When you disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

Warning: Do not switch the camera on when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may

cause interference or danger.

Warning: In order to comply with RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a

minimum distance of 20 cm must be maintained between the camera and all persons.
