Battery information
This product uses a Lithium Polymer battery. Do not use it in a
humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or
leave your product in or near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or
in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60 °C (140 °F). Failure to follow these guidelines may
cause the battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite
and cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and
seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to
prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at
low (below 0 °C/32 °F) or high (over 45 °C/113 °F) temperatures.
The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it
will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are
Acer E200 Smartphone User Guide74
Page 75
noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use only
Acer approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with
Acer approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device
when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to the AC adapter, since overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time. If the battery is completely discharged, it
may take a few minutes before the charging indicator appears
on the display or before any calls can be made.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any
charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can
occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes
direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.)
This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may
damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, 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 and 25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). A device with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is
fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries
according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible.
Do not dispose as household waste.
Replacing the battery pack
Your smartphone uses lithium batteries. Replace the battery
with the same type as that which came bundled with your
75Warnings and precautions
Page 76
product. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or
explosion.
Warning! Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not
disassemble or dispose of them in fire. Keep them away from children. Follow local regulations when disposing of used batteries.
Additional safety information
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts.
Keep them out of the reach of small children.

the hearing aid. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic
storage media near the device, because information stored on
them may be erased.
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 device 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 transmissions.
Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15.3 cm (6") be maintained between wireless devices 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. Persons with pacemakers
should do the following:

LCD pixel statement
The LCD unit is produced with high-precision manufacturing
techniques. Nevertheless, some pixels may occasionally misfire
or appear as black or red dots. This has no effect on the
recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
Radio device regulatory notice
Note: Regulatory information below is for models with wireless
LAN and/or Bluetooth only.
General
This product complies with the radio frequency and safety
standards of any country or region in which it has been
approved for wireless use. Depending on configuration, this
product may or may not contain wireless radio devices (such as
wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth modules). Information below is
for products with such devices.
Certificate Information (SAR)
This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the
limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection.
Acer E200 Smartphone User Guide82
Page 83
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These recommendations have
been developed and checked by independent scientific organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific
studies. To guarantee the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health, the limits include a significant safety buffer.
Before radio devices can be put in circulation, their agreement
with European laws or limits must be confirmed; only then
may the CE symbol be applied.
The unit of measurement for the European Council's recommended limit for mobile telephones is the "Specific Absorption
Rate" (SAR). This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg, averaged over 10 g of
body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and
was included in the European Standard EN 50360 for mobile
radio devices. The SAR regulation for mobile telephones is in
line with European Standard EN 62209-1.The maximum SAR
value is calculated at the highest output level in all frequency
bands of the mobile telephone. During use, the actual SAR
level is usually much lower than the maximum value, because
the mobile telephone works in different output levels. It only
transmits with as much output as is required to reach the network. In general the following applies: The closer you are to a
base station, the lower the transmission output of your mobile
telephone. The tested SAR of this device is as follows:
