contact with water or other liquids. If liquids
enter the phone, this could cause a short
circuit, battery leakage or other malfunction.
1.3.3 Notices when using the battery
The battery has a limited service life. The
remaining life gets shorter as the times of
charging increase. If the battery becomes
feeble even after the charging, this indicates
the service life is over and you have to use a
new battery.
Do not dispose of old batteries with everyday
domestic garbage. Please dispose of old
batteries at the directed places with specific
rules for their disposal.
Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed)
shall not be exposed to excessive heat such
as sunshine, fire or the like. Please do not
throw batteries into a fire, as this will cause
the batter to catch fire and explode.
11
When installing the battery, do not use force
or pressure, as this will cause the battery to
leak, overheat, crack and catch fire.

metal objects to short-circuit the battery. Also,
do not put the battery near necklaces or other
metal objects, as this will cause the battery to
leak, overheat, crack and catch fire.
Please do not solder the contact points of the
battery, as this will cause the battery to leak,
overheat, crack and catch fire.
If the liquid in the batteries goes into the eyes,
there is a risk of blindness. If this occurs do
not rub the eyes, but immediately rinse eyes
with clear water and go to the hospital for
treatment.
Please do not disassemble or modify the
battery, as this will cause the battery to leak,
overheat, crack and catch fire.

fire.
12
If the battery overheats, changes color, or
becomes distorted during use, charging, or
storage, please stop using and replace it with
a new battery.
If the liquid from the battery comes in contact
with skin or clothing this could cause burning
of the skin. Immediately use clear water to
rinse and seek medical tips if necessary.
If the battery leaks or gives off a strange odor,
please remove the battery from the vicinity of
the open fire to avoid a fire or explosion.
Please do no let the battery become wet as
this will cause the battery to overheat, smoke
and corrode.

1.3.4 Charging your phone
Connect the connector of charger to the mobile
phone. The battery level indicator flashes on the
13
screen. Even if the phone has been turned off, the
charging image still appears, indicating that the
battery is being charged. If the phone is overused
when the current is insufficient, it may take longer
time for the charging indicator to appear on the
screen after the charging begins.
When the battery level indicator does not flash
and indicates the battery is full, this indicates the
charging has been completed. If the phone is off
during charging, the charging being completed
image also appears on the screen. The charging
process often takes 3 to 4 hours. During the
charging, the battery, phone and charger gets
warm, this is a normal phenomenon.
Upon the completion of charging, disconnect the
charger from AC power socket, and from the
mobile phone.
Notes:
During charging, the phone must be placed in
well-ventilated environment. Always use the
charger supplied by your phone manufacturer.
Using an unauthorized charger might cause
danger and invalidate the authorization and
warranty clauses for your phone.
14
The standby time and call duration provided by
the manufacturer are based on ideal operating
environment. In practice, the battery's operating
time varies depending on network conditions,
operating environment and usage methods.
Make sure the battery has been installed before
charging. It is best not to remove the battery while
charging.
Upon completion of charging, disconnect the
charger from your phone and the power supply.
If you have not disconnected the charger from your
phone and the power supply, the charger will continue
to charge the battery after about 5 to 8 hours when the
batter level decreases substantially. We advise you
not to do like this, as it lowers your phone performance
and shortens your phone life.

on the electrical outlet.
Please do no place vessels with water near
the charger in order to avoid water splashing
onto the charger and causing an electrical
shortage, leakage or other malfunction.
If the charger comes in contact with water or
other liquid the power must immediately be
switched off to avoid an electrical short or
shock, fire or malfunction of the charger.
Please do not disassemble or modify the
charger, as it will lead to bodily harm,
electrical shock, fire or damage to the
charger.
Please do not use the charger in the
bathroom or other excessively moist areas,
as this will cause electrical chock, fire or
damage to the charger.
Please do not touch the charger with wet
hands, as this will cause electrical shock.

power cord, as this will cause electrical shock
or fire.
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance
please unplug the charger from the electrical
outlet.
When unplugging charger, do not pull on the
cord, but rather hold on to the body of the
charger, as pulling on the cord will damage
the cord and lead to electrical shock or fire.
