1.1.3 General Precautions
Use only authorized accessories and batteries by the
manufacturer. The use of incompatible batteries and accessories
may cause battery leaks, overheating, rupture or fire. This may
also nullify your warranty.
Do not put the battery, phone and charger in a high-pressure
container or microwave, as this may result in circuit damage or
fire.
Do not use the mobile phone near flammable and explosive
materials. Doing such may cause explosion or fire.
Do not store the phone in areas with high temperature as this can
cause extensive damage to the handset.
Keep the phone out of children’s reach.
1) Phone
DO turn off your mobile phone inside aircrafts, hospitals and other
locations where its use is restricted. Use of handsets in prohibited
areas is dangerous as it may cause interference in the operation
of electrical and medical equipment.
DO keep your mobile phone away from moisture. Contact with
water or other liquid may cause malfunctioning and overheating.
DON’T disassemble or remodel your phone as this may cause
permanent and irreparable damage. This may also void your
mobile phone’s warranty.
DON’T use sharp or pointed objects in pressing you phone’s keys
as this can cause damage.

DON’T use your handset if you notice any damage (e.g. broken
antenna) as this may cause injury to the user.
2) Battery
Each Cherry Mobile handset is equipped with a rechargeable
battery. Use only authorized Cherry Mobile batteries and
accessories.
For better performance and longer battery life, initial charging of at
least four (4) hours is recommended when using the mobile phone
for the first time.
The optimum performance of a new battery is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. Overcharging,
however, may also affect battery life.
Do not use a damaged battery or charger. If battery life becomes
noticeably shorter than usual, it is recommended to replace it with
a new one.
While the mobile phone is being charged, keep it out of children’s
reach.
Store the battery in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight,
dust and water.
Avoid exposing batteries to extreme temperature (below -10°C
(14°F) or above 45°C (113°F)).
Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet when not in use.
Avoid using the charger in a wet environment. If the charger
comes in contact with water or any form of liquid, immediately
unplug it from the outlet to reduce the risk of overheating, charger

malfunction, electric shock or fire.
Be careful with the disposal of spent batteries. Avoid throwing
them in a fire, as this may cause explosion. It is recommended to
abide by local environmental laws and guidelines on proper waste
disposal.
Do not short-circuit the batteries (i.e. when metal objects such as
coins, are directly connected to the metal side of the battery). This
will damage your phone. It is advisable to handle spare batteries
with extra care.
3) Cleaning and Maintenance
The handset, battery and charger are not water-resistant and
should always be kept dry. Avoid using them in excessively moist
areas.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the handset, battery and charger.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, benzene or other solvents to clean
the handset.
Avoid charging the mobile phone through a dirty outlet as this
causes poor electrical contact and results in power lost and
charging failure.
