Switch Off In Dangerous Areas
Always switch your phone off in areas where explosive or
dangerous materials (e.g. fuels or chemical products) are
located and obey relevant instructions or signals. Do not insert
or remove your mobile phone’s battery in such areas.
Install a Hands-free Device In a Safe Location
Install a hands-free device away from the steering wheel and
airbag expansion areas. Otherwise you can be injured in a car
accident.
Keep Away From Other Electronic Devices
Mobile phones emit electromagnetic waves that may affect
nearby electronic devices. After switching on your phone, do
not place it close to other electronic goods.
About the Battery Usage
Your phone is powered by a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. This
type of battery typically has a longer lifespan than other types
of batteries. However, it must be handled with care. Please read
and follow these battery guidelines:
x Do not use a damaged battery or charger.
x Do not disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture,
or shred the battery.
x Do not modify or remanufacture the battery, insert foreign
objects into the battery, immerse or expose the battery
to water or other liquids, or expose it to fire, explosions, or
other hazard.
x Dispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning as
they may explode. 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. 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 the IEEE-Std-1725-2006.
x Children should not be allowed to handle the battery.
x Avoid dropping the phone or the battery. If the phone or the
battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and you
suspect damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
x Use your battery for its specified purpose only.
x The battery recharging time varies depending on the
remaining battery capacity and the battery and charger
type.
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. Do not store the
battery in exceedingly hot or cold places, such as inside
a car in the summer or winter as doing so may reduce its
capacity and life span.
