ABOUT BATTERY USAGE

Your phone is powered by a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. Therefore, you can recharge battery while some charge remains without reducing your phone’s autonomy. For a safe use of the battery,

x Do not use a damaged battery or charger.

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS

x Do not disassemble, open crush, bend, deform, puncture or shred the battery.

x Do not modify or remanufacture, insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water

or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.

x Do not put your battery in contact with conductive objects.

x Dispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Do not dispose of

batteries by burning; they may explode.

x Do not use an unauthorized charger or battery.

x Use the battery only for the device for which it is specified.

x Use the battery with a charging device that has been qualified for the device per this standard. Use

of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.

x Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals.

x Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the device per this

standard, IEEEStd-1725-2006.

x Children should be supervised when they use the battery.

x Avoid dropping the phone or the battery. If the phone or the battery is dropped, especially on a

hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.

x Use your battery for the specified purpose only.

x The closer you move to your network’s base station, the longer you can use your phone because

less battery power is required for connection.

x The battery recharging time varies depending on the remaining battery capacity and the battery

x Battery life inevitably shortens over time.

x Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the phone from its charger once it is fully

charged. Unplug the charger once charging is complete. Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer or winter, may reduce its capacity and life.

x To prevent injury or burns, ensure that no metal objects come into contact with the + and –

terminals of the battery.
