Battery charging tips and precautions

The battery is built into the device and is not remov-

able. Do not remove the battery by yourself.

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect

type. Dispose of used batteries according to the in-

structions.

• Use only approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Using

an unapproved or incompatible power adaptor, charger, or

battery may damage your phone, shorten its lifespan, or

cause a re, explosion or other hazards.

• Avoid using your device when it is charging. Do not cover

your device or the power adaptor.

• Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious

damage to the phone. Any damage caused by misuse is not

covered by the warranty.

• If the AC power supply is of a lower voltage, then a longer

charging time may be needed.

• If non-standard chargers such as computers are used for

charging, then a longer charge time may be needed.

• Fully charge the battery before first using the device and

disconnect the charger immediately after the rst charge is

completed.

• Remove the charger from the electric socket when not

charging the phone.

• The device may not start immediately if charging with low

mally.

• The charging time may vary depending on the ambient tem-

perature and the remaining battery level.

• The device can be safely charged within the environment

temperature of 0°C to 40°C. Charging at temperatures

below 0°C or higher than 40°C will harm the battery perfor-

mance and shorten its life. Long-term charging in extreme

temperatures will damage the battery.

• While charging, the device and the charger may heat up.

This is normal and should not affect the phone’s lifespan

or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, stop
