detectors, and/or other automatic-control equipment. For details on the
influence caused by your mobile phone on pacemakers or other
medical electronic equipment, please consult the manufacturer or your
local distributor.

z Do not use your mobile phone near TV sets, radios or office automated

equipment to avoid interference.

2

z Turn off your mobile phone in an aeroplane when use is forbidden. The

mobile phone may affect on-board electronic equipment, therefore
please follow the relevant regulations.

In Hospital

z Turn off your mobile phone in hospital where it’s forbidden to use it. The

mobile phone may affect the normal operation of medical apparatus,
therefore please follow the relevant regulations when using your mobile
phone in hospital.

In a Petrol Station

z Do not use your mobile phone in a petrol station. Turn off your mobile

phone near fuels or chemicals.

Waterproof

3

z Keep your mobile phone away from water. This may cause overheating,

electrical leakage or failure if water or any other kind of liquid enters
your mobile phone.

Disassembly

z Do not disassemble or reassemble your mobile phone as this may

cause damage, electrical leakage or circuit failure.

Antenna

z Do not use your mobile phone if your antenna is damaged as this may

cause injury.

Away from Children

z Keep your mobile phone from children. Do not allow children to use the

mobile phone as a toy as this may be harmful to their health.

Original Accessories

4

z Use the original accessories or those authenticated by the

manufacturer. Using non-original accessories may affect the mobile
phone’s performance, violate the warranty provisions or relevant
national regulations on mobile phones, or even cause injury.

Areas where industrial explosives are used

z Please strictly adhere to relevant laws and regulations to turn off your

mobile phone in or near areas where explosive materials are used.

Emergency Calls

z Make sure your mobile phone is turned on and in the service area. Input

the national emergency number and press the Send key to dial. Let others
know where you are and do not hang up until help has reached you.

Battery Safety Precautions

z Keep the battery in a cool and ventilated place, out of direct sunlight.

z Battery life is limited, and becomes shorter and shorter after the battery

is charged continuously over its lifetime. If charging fails several times,
this indicates that the battery is worn out and a replacement is advised.

5

z Dispose of worn-out batteries in designated locations according to

specified regulations rather than throwing them into residential garbage.

z Do not throw worn-out batteries into fires as this may cause additional

fires or explosions.

z Do not press with great force when installing the battery as this may

result in leakage, overheating, explosion or fire.

z Do not disassemble or reassemble the battery as this may result in

leakage, overheating, explosion or fire.

z If the battery becomes hot, changes colour or deforms during use,

charging or storage, please immediately stop using the device and
replace the battery.

z Keep the battery away from dampness to prevent overheating,

smouldering or erosion.

z Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight, for example in a car, or other

high-temperature location as this may result in leakage or overheating. This
may also affect the battery’s performance and shorten its life.

z Do not continuously charge the battery over a 24 hour period.

6

Note:

If the battery is damaged, please avoid contact with the materials inside.
If your skin has contact with these materials, flush your skin with lots
of water and seek medical assistance if required.

Charger Safety Precautions

z Use power voltage between 110VAC and 220VAC. Using voltage beyond

the range may cause leakage, fire or damage to the phone and charger.

z Do not short-circuit the charger as this may cause electric shock,

smouldering or damage.

z Do not charge the battery in direct sunslight, near dampness, dust,

vibration, TV set, or radio (may affect the image, sound), etc.

z Do not use the charger if the power cable is damaged as this may

cause fire or electric shock.

z Do not place water containers near the charger to avoid water splashing.

If water or any other kind of liquid splashes on the charger, immediately
remove the charger from the power socket to avoid overheating, fire,
electric shock or failure.

7

z Do not disassemble or reassemble the charger because this may cause

physical injury, electric shock, fire or damage.

z To avoid electric shock, do not touch any charger, power cable or power

socket with wet hands.

z Do not place heavy objects onto power cables or refit power cable as

this may cause electric shock or fire.
