General Considerations
Your phone can only use our designated batteries and chargers. Using other
products may cause battery leakage, overheating, explosion or cause a re.
Do not use the mobile phone near a weak signal or high-precision electronic
equipment. Radio wave interference may cause incorrect operation of the elec-
tronic equipment and other problems.
Avoid having the mobile phone too close to magnetic objects such as magnetic
cards, mobile phone radiation wave may erase oppy disks data, saving account
and credit card data information stored in them.
Battery Precautions
The mobile phone battery life is limited. Frequently charging the battery will
gradually shorten its lifespan. Do not throw old batteries in the general household
waste bins. There are clear, local regulations, for battery disposal. Please follow
the instructions when doing so.
Do not rub your eyes in case the battery uid gets into them, rinse your eyes with
fresh water and immediately look for a hospital as it may cause blindness.
Do not use or leave the battery next to re, a heater or hot areas as it will lead to
battery leakage, overheating, explosion or re.
Do not wet the battery, as it will cause it to overheat, smoke and corrode. Do not
use or leave the battery in direct sunlight or near a hot car, as it will result in uid
leakage. An overheated battery may degrade its performance and shorten its
lifespan.
Do not charge it continuously for more than 24 hours.
Charging the Mobile Device
When the connector is plugged to the mobile phone charger, the mobile phone
battery indicator on the screen will ash in a cycle; if it is turned off, the
charging indicator will appear on the screen to show that the battery is charging. If
the phone is still in use when the battery is low, a charging indicator will be shown
after a while. When the on-screen battery indicator shows full, and no longer ash-
ing, it indicates that charging has been completed. After charging is complete,
disconnect the AC power outlet which connects the phone and charger.
If the charger is not connected to a power supply and the phone is off, then, after
a fairly long period of time (about 5 to 8 hours) and the battery is at a certain level,
the phone begins to recharge.
Charger Precautions
Please use the original 100V-240V AC charger. Using other voltage can cause
leakage, re or damage to the phone and the charger. Do not use the charger in
case of short-circuit, otherwise it will cause electric shock, smoke and damage
to the charger. Please do not use the charger in case of power cord damage,
otherwise it will lead to a re and electric shock.
Please clean the dust on the power socket.
Please do not put a water container near the charger, to avoid overheating, leak-
age and malfunction caused by water spills. If the charger comes into contact with
water or other liquids, unplug it immediately unplug the cord from the power outlet
to prevent overheating, re, electric shock and charger malfunction.
Do not disassemble or modify the charger, otherwise it will lead to personal injury,
electric shock, re and damage to the charger.
Please do not use the charger in the bathroom where high humidity is present,
otherwise it will cause electric shock, re and damage of the charger.
