Safety Precautions
Handling the Phone, Battery and Charger
䢇
Only use the battery and charger specified for the
phone. Failure to do so can result in damage to the
phone, electric shock or fire.
䢇
Do not store or operate the phone or charger in hot,
damp, or dusty areas, which can damage electrical and
mechanical components. Avoid prolonged exposure to
temperatures below 5°C (41°F) or in excess of 35°C
(95°F).
䢇
Do not drop, shake or throw the phone or charger.
Rough handling can damage internal circuit boards and
the battery pack.
䢇
Do not use the phone in the vicinity of volatile gases.
Leave the area before using the phone. Failure to leave
the area can result in the risk of fire or an explosion.
䢇
Do not disassemble or modify the phone, charger, or
battery. Incorrect modifications, reassembly, or
tampering may result in malfunction or personal injury.
Handling the Phone
䢇
Do not use the phone while operating a vehicle.
䢇
Observe local regulations for specialized areas
(hospital, aircraft, etc) when using the phone.
䢇
Do not use the phone near electronic equipment prone
to interference. Radio frequency interference may
result in electronic equipment malfunction. The
following electronic equipment may be affected:
Hearing aids, pacemakers and other clinical electronic
devices, smoke detectors, automatic doors and other

explode. Check with local waste management codes for
disposal instructions.

the battery on conductive materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery and/or conductor may
overheat and cause burns.
䢇
If the battery becomes too hot while recharging, it
should be removed immediately from the charger.
䢇
When clothes or skin are exposed to battery leakage,
rinse with clean water at once to prevent skin irritation.
䢇
Do not use a cracked, leaking or odor-emitting battery
pack near an open flame or high temperatures.

If a fully discharged battery is stored for a long period of
time, it may not be possible to recharge the battery.

Observe local waste management codes for proper
battery disposal instructions.
