IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ABOUT BATTERY USAGE

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

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, 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 conduc tive

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.

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS

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 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. 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.
