pack to temperatures higher than 60˚C (140˚F).

WARNING: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. To reduce risk

of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts,
expose to temperature above 60° C (140° F), or dispose of in fire or water.
Replace only with specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries
according to the local regulations or reference guide supplied with your
product.

• Take extra precautions

• Keep the battery or device dry and away from water or any liquid as it may

its connectors as it may lead to short circuit during operation.

• The phone should only be connected to products that bear the USB-IF

logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.

• Do not use a battery that appears damaged, deformed, or discolored, or

the one that has any rust on its casing, overheats, or emits a foul odor.

• Always keep the battery out of the reach of babies and small children, to

avoid swallowing of the battery. Consult the doctor immediately if the
battery is swallowed.

• If the battery leaks:

• Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with skin or clothing.

If already in contact, flush the affected area immediately with clean
water and seek medical advice.

• Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with eyes. If already

medical advice.

• Take extra precautions to keep a leaking battery away from fire as

there is a danger of ignition or explosion.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DIRECT SUNLIGHT

Keep this product away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Do not
leave the product or its battery inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature
may exceed 60°C (140°F), such as on a car dashboard, window sill, or behind a glass

SAFETY IN AIRCRAFT

Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s navigation
system and its communications network, using this device’s phone function on
board an airplane is against the law in most countries. If you want to use this
device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to
Airplane Mode.

ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS

Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where
blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such
as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable
materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user should 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 not to use the equipment at refueling
points such as service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where
blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck
on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

ROAD SAFETY

Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with
handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using hands­free devices as an alternative is allowed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE

• Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of

a building).

• Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as

microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do

not contain any metal.

• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your

local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS

This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is
forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

HEARING AIDS

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.

NONIONIZING RADIATION

Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal­use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.

9

10

Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas
may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and
SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance
with local regulatory requirements in your country.

To assure optimal phone
performance and ensure human
exposure to RF energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the relevant
standards, always use your device
only in its normal-use position.
Contact with the antenna area
may impair call quality and cause
your device to operate at a higher
power level than needed. Avoiding
contact with the antenna area
when the phone is IN USE optimizes
the antenna performance and the
battery life.

General Precautions

and only use the device stylus or your finger when interacting with the touch
screen. Cracked display screens due to improper handling are not covered by
the warranty.
