SAFETY INFORMATION

PERSONAL USE

Operation of any radio equipment including mobile
phones may interfere with the function of inadequately
shielded medical devices such as hearing aids and
pacemakers. Please consult the manufacturer of these
devices or your physician before use.

In oil depots and chemical factories where explosive gas
or other products are stored, the user should pay close
attention to the restriction on the use of mobile phone.
Even if your phone is in the idle mode, it will still transmit
radio frequency signals. Therefore, you must switch off
when requested to do so.

Note traffic safety. When you are driving, please do no
use your mobile phone. Stop on the side of the road
when you do need to use it. Avoid making calls with your
cellular phone in stormy weather.
Safety Information related with children:

■ Be cautious of children swallowing the small parts
such as the SIM card.

■ Prevent children from playing with your cell phone
as toys. For example, behaviors like throwing,
biting the phone, or immersing it into water should
be avoided.

■ Do not let children less than 14 years old hang the
phone around the neck.

MOBILE PHONE USE

Please use only the accessories or parts offered by the
manufacturer or those authorized by the manufacturer.
Use of unauthorized accessories might influence the
performance of the phone. What’s worse, your phone

4

might get damaged and harm will be caused to your
body. It might even violate the national regulations on
the telecommunication terminal products.
Do not use chemical products like cleaning solvents or
detergents to clean your phone. It is recommended that
you use slightly damp and static electricity proof cloth
instead of cloth that is dry and easy to catch static
electricity. Before cleaning, you should switch off your
phone.

Your mobile phone produces magnetic fields. Do not
place it next to magnetic storage media such as
computer diskettes. Operating your mobile phone close
to other electrical equipment such as televisions,
phones, radios and personal computers may cause
interference and therefore influence the performance of
your phone.

Please do not link it to other unnecessary equipments.
Note! Non-professionals must not try to dissemble the

phone.

Phone Precautions!

■ Use your phone battery only for its intended
purpose, and never use any battery charger which
is damaged or worn out.

■ When you unplug your phone from its charger,
grasp and pull the plug, not the power cord.

■ Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean your phone. Wipe it with
a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and­water solution.

5

■ Do not attempt to open the casing on your phone
or its battery.

■ Always keep SIM card out of children’s reach.

BATTERY USE

Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. This is
dangerous and will damage the battery, produce heat
and may cause a fire.

Never dispose of batteries in a fire as it can cause
explosion. Return waste batteries to your supplier or an
approved recycling center. Do not dispose along with
household wastes.

Warning! If the battery case is broken, avoid contact
with the contents. Wash contaminated skin with lots of
water and seek medical attention.

Battery Precautions!

■ Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it,
especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause
damage to the phone and battery. If you suspect
damage to the phone or battery, take it to a service
center for inspection.

■ Never use any 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.

■ Battery charging time depends on the remaining
battery charge and the type of battery and charger
used. The battery can be charged and discharged

6

hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out.
When the operation time (talk time and standby
time) is noticeably shorter than normal, consider
purchasing a new battery.

■ If left unused, a fully charged battery will fully
discharge itself over time.

■ Extreme temperatures will affect the charging
capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or
warming first.

■ Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such
as in a car in summer or winter conditions, as it will
reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always
try to keep the battery at room temperature. A
phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily
not work, even when the battery is fully charged.
Batteries are particularly affected by temperatures
below 32°F.

■ Do not place the phone in areas that may get very
hot, such as on or near a cooking surface, cooking
appliance, iron, or radiator.

■ Prevent your phone or battery from getting wet.
Even though they will dry and appear to operate
normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and
pose a safety hazard.

■ Avoid a battery out of the phone in coming contact
with metal objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry.
