This product contains a Li-ion battery. There is a risk of fire and burns if the
battery pack is handled improperly. Do not attempt to open or service the
battery pack. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts
or circuits, dispose of in fire or water, or expose a battery 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
O Keep the battery or device dry and away from water or any liquid as it
may cause a short circuit.
O
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.
O The phone should be only connected to products that bear the USB-IF
logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
O Do not use a battery that appears damaged, deformed, or discolored, or
one that has any rust on its casing, overheats, or emits a foul odor.
O Always keep the battery out of the reach of babies and small children, to
avoid swallowing of the battery. Consult a doctor immediately if the
battery is swallowed.
O Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with
the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725-200x. Use of an unqualified
battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other
hazard.

NON-IONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its
normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety from
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for personal
safety, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to
come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
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 noncompliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
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.
To assure
HAC
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of
the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer
wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for
use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this

FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an
updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies
with the FCC guidelines and those international standards.
Technical Details
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm) between
the user / bystander and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
Part 15.19 statement
This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that causes undesired operation.
Part 15.21 statement
Changes or modifications that are not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Part 15.105 statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If you experience interference with reception (e.g.,
television), determine if this equipment is causing the harmful interference
by turning the equipment off and then back on to see if the interference is
affected. If necessary, try correcting the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The Basics
Optimizing Battery Life
You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features
that run in the background. You can also monitor how applications and
system resources consume battery power.
Tips to extend the life of your battery
㻌 Turn off radio communications that you aren’t using. If you aren’t
using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS, use the Settings menu to turn them
off (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on when you’re using an
application that makes use of it).
㻌 Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
㻌 Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other
applications if you don’t need it.
㻌 Use the Power saver feature in the Settings menu or the Power Control
widget to control data activity, syncing activity, Wi-Fi connection,
Bluetooth connection, GPS connection, and power used for the device
such as screen brightness, tap vibration, screen timeout, and front key
light timeout.
To check the battery charge level
From the Home screen, tap Apps > Settings > Battery >
Power saver.
The battery level (as a percentage of fully charged) and the battery
status (Charging or Discharging) is displayed under the Battery
Information section at the bottom of the screen.
NOTE Checkmark the Battery percentage checkbox to display the percentage of remaining
battery charge on the Status Bar next to the battery icon.
To monitor and control what uses the battery
The Battery use screen allows you to see which applications are consuming
the most battery power. Information on this screen allows you to identify
downloaded applications you may want to turn off when not being used, so
you can get the most out of your battery power.
