Safety information
PadFone™ care
• Do not attempt to open your Padfone™ device casing. There
are no user serviceable parts inside and you might damage
sensitive electronic circuits and components. Unauthorized
disassembly will void the warranty.
• Do not leave your Padfone™ device exposed to strong sunlight
or excessive heat for a prolonged period. This may damage it.
• Do not handle your Padfone™ device with wet hands or expose
it to moisture or liquids of any kind. Continuous changes from
a cold to a warm environment may lead to condensation inside
your Padfone™ device, resulting in corrosion and possible
damage.
• If you pack your Padfone™ device in your suitcase during travel,
beware of damage. Cramming a suitcase may crack the LCD
display. Remember to switch off your wireless connections
during air travel.
• Use your Padfone™ device in an environment with ambient
temperatures between -10 °C (14 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).
The battery
Your PadFone is equipped with a high performance Li-Ion battery.
Observe the maintenance guidelines for a longer battery life.
• Avoid charging in extremely high or low temperature. The
battery has its optimum performance in an ambient temperature
of +5 °C to +40 °C.
• Do not store the battery near a re or heat source.
• Use only the battery approved by the manufacturer (Battery for
PadFone: TWS SBP-28).
• Never replace the battery with a non-approved battery.
• Never soak the battery in water or any other liquid.
• Never try to open the battery as it contains substances that
might be harmful if swallowed or allowed to come into contact
with unprotected skin.
• Never short-circuit the battery, as it may overheat and cause a
re. Keep it away from jewellery and other metal objects.
• Never dispose of the battery in re. It could explode and release
harmful substances into the environment.
• Never dispose of the battery with your regular household waste.
Take it to a hazardous material collection point.
• Do not touch the battery terminals.
The charger
• Avoid using the PadFone while charging.
• Use only the charger supplied with your Padfone™ device.

objects.
• Do not bend the memory card or subject it to violent impacts.
Keep it away from water and high temperatures.
• Keep all memory cards out of the reach of small children.
• Do not short circuit the contact points or expose it to liquids or
moisture. When not in use, keep it in an antistatic container.
• Do not use force when inserting or handling the card, and do not
expose it to excessive heat or strong magnetic elds.
Cleaning and storing
• Your Padfone™ device should always be handled with care and
protected from dirt, dust and dampness. To avoid scratches,
never place your Padfone™ device face down.
• If cleaning is necessary, turn your Padfone™ device off and
wipe carefully with a soft, slightly damp (not wet) cloth. Use a
cotton swab to clean the camera lens. Allow your Padfone™
device to dry completely before switching it on. Never use
solvents for cleaning.
• If you are not going to use your Padfone™ device for some time,
fully charge the battery and store your Padfone™ device in a dry
place away from direct sunlight. Your Padfone™ device should
be switched off during storage. Recharge every 6 to 12 months.

• Do not place stickers that may block the keypad or disturb other
functions such as microphone, earpiece, or camera lens.
WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious
personal injury and possible property damage.
Driving safely
Never use handheld phones while driving. It is an offence, that while
driving, to hold a phone or cradle it in your neck at any point, during
the setup, making or taking of a phone call, text message or any other
data related mobile communication. Use of fully installed car kits are
still permitted, as are the use of alternate handsfree accessories.
In the interest of safety, we would recommend the use of a cradle
while using any form of handsfree accessory.
While driving, we recommend that you use voicemail wherever
possible, and that you listen to your messages when you are not in
the car. If you must make a handsfree call when driving, keep it brief.
Do not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment
area. An airbag inates with great force. If the airbag inates, serious
injury could result.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your device.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers’ Association recommends that
a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between
a phone 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.
If you have a pacemaker:
• Always keep your Padfone™ device more than six inches
(15cm) from your pacemaker when turned on.
• Do not carry your PadFone in your breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your Padfone™ device off immediately.
