Mercury advisory
For projectors or electronic products containing an LCD/CRT monitor or display:
Lamp(s) inside this product contain mercury and must be recycled or disposed of
according to local, state or federal laws. For more information, contact the Electronic
Industries Alliance at www.eiae.org. For lamp-specific disposal information, check
www.lamprecycle.org.
RoHS compliance
This product is in compliance with Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 8 June 2011, on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous
substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment and its amendments.
Battery information
This product uses a Lithium Polymer battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet and/or
corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat
source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven
or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60 °C (140

°F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the battery to leak acid, become hot,
explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or
disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into contact with the
leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention immediately.
For safety reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur
at low (below 0 °C/32 °F) or high (over 45 °C/113 °F) temperatures.
The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete
charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times, but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are
noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use only Acer approved batteries,
and recharge your battery only with Acer approved chargers designated for this
device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not
leave a fully charged battery connected to the ac charger, since overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over
time. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the
charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be made.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that
is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic
object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.) This
might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse.
Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter
conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the
battery between 15 °C and 25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). A device with a hot or cold battery
may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode
if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Replacing the battery pack
Your smartphone uses lithium batteries. Replace the battery with the same type as
that which came bundled with your product. Use of another battery may present a
risk of fire or explosion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning! Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not disassemble
or dispose of them in fire. Keep them away from children. Follow local
regulations when disposing of used batteries.
