19 Safety Information
Electronic Device
Most modern electronic equipments are shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic equipment maybe is not shielded against the
RF signals from your Mobile Phone. Consult the manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Hospital
Do not take your phone into the operating room (OR), intensive care unit (ICU), or
coronary care unit (CCU).
Do not use your phone at places for medical treatment where it is prohibited to
use mobile phones.
When you use your phone near someone who is suffering from a heart disease,
turn down the ring tone volume or turn Vibrate mode on, so that it does not
influence the person.
Storage Environment
Switch off your phone when you are in any area with a potentially explosive
Page 58
58
atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone at a refueling point (service station).
Users 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often (but not always) marked
clearly. They include the areas below decks on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or butane, areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders,
and any other area where you would be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Children Safety
Put your phone, battery, and charger in places beyond the reach of children. Do
not allow children to use the phone, battery, or charger without guidance.
Do not allow children to put the battery in mouth, the electrolyte in the battery is
poisonous.
Do not allow children to touch the small fittings. Otherwise, suffocation or gullet
jam can be caused if children swallow the small fittings.

Remember to follow any special regulations in force applied in the area you are in,
and always switch off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it
may cause interference or danger. When connecting the phone or any accessory
to another device, read its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not
connect incompatible products.
Like with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are recommended to
use the equipment in the normal operating position (held to your ear with the
antenna pointing over your shoulder).This advice for the satisfactory operation of
the equipment and for the safety of personnel.
Battery
Never use a charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it uses less power. Talk and
standby time are greatly affected by the signal strength on the cellular network
and the parameters set by the network operator.
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new
battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles.
Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge, the type of
battery, and the charger used. The battery can be charged and discharged
Page 60
60
hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time is
noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
If the battery left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery.
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places because the capacity and lifetime of
the battery will be reduced. Try to keep the battery at room temperature. A phone
with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully
charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 0°C
(32°F).
Use only approved batteries and chargers. Disconnect the charger from the power
source when it is not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for
more than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.
