Important Safety Precautions
Caution
Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further detalied information is given in
this user guide.
Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or death.

explode.
Never place your phone in a microwave
oven as it will cause the battery to explode.
Do not dispose of your battery by fire or

Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as
animal’s teeth, nails, come into contact with
the battery. There is a risk of this causing a
fire.
Store the battery in a place out of reach of
children.
Be careful that children do not swallow any
parts such as rubber plugs (earphone,
connection parts of the phone, etc.). This
could cause asphyxiation or suffocation.
Unplug the power cord and charger during
lightning storms to avoid electric shock or
fire.
When riding in a car, do not leave your

risk of this causing a fire.
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone
severely. Such actions may harm the
internal circuit boards of the phone.
Do not use your phone in high explosive
areas as the phone may generate sparks.
Do not damage the power cord by bending,
twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the
