• Take extra precautions

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

cause a short circuit. 

• Keep metal objects away so they don’t come in contact with the battery or 

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

• The phone should be only 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 discoloured, or 

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

• 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 

in contact, DO NOT rub; rinse with clean water immediately and seek 
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 
that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods 
of time. This may damage the product, overheat the battery, or pose a risk to the 
vehicle.

PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS

CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or 

headphones are used at high volume for prolonged periods of time.

NOTE: For France, Earphone (listed below) for this device have been tested to comply 
with the Sound Pressure Level requirement laid down in the applicable NF EN 50332­1:2000 and/or NF EN 50332-2:2003 standards as required by French Article L. 5232-1.

•  Earphone, manufactured by Cotron, Model HS S200.

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.

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 optimises the 
antenna performance and the battery life.

General Precautions

• Avoid applying excessive pressure to the device 

Do not apply excessive pressure on the screen and the device to prevent 
damaging them and remove the device from your pants’ pocket before sitting

1.3 Charging the Battery

New batteries are not charged when shipped. Before you start using your phone, 
you need to install and charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after 
several full charge/discharge cycles.

1.

bottom of your phone.

Plug in the AC adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.

2.

Note  Only the AC adapter and USB cable provided with your phone must be used to charge 

the battery.

Charging is indicated by a solid amber light in the Notification LED. As the battery is 
being charged while the phone is on, the charging battery icon (   ) is displayed 
in the status bar of the Home screen. After the battery has been fully charged, the
