battery may cause fire, explosion or other hazards.
• Choose only batteries, chargers, and accessories
approved for use with this model by the device
manufacturer. The use of any other types of batteries,

violate local regulations and laws, and may be
dangerous. Please contact your retailer for information

Charger safety
• Unplug the charger from electrical outlets and the
device when not in use.
• Do not drop or cause an impact to the charger.
• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands or pull the
power cord to disconnect the charger.

• If the power cable is damaged (for example, the cord is
exposed or broken), or the plug loosens, stop using it at
once. Continued use may lead to electric shocks, short
circuits, or fire.
• If your device has been exposed to water, other liquids,
or excessive moisture, take it to an authorized service
center for inspection.
• Connect the device only to products with the USB-IF
logo or with USB-IF compliance program completion.
• For pluggable devices, the socket-outlet shall be
installed near the devices and shall be easily
accessible.
Battery safety
• Do not connect battery poles with conductors, such as
keys, jewelry, or other metal materials. Doing so may
short-circuit the battery and cause injuries or burns.
• Do not solder battery poles or dismantle the battery.
Doing so may lead to electrolyte leakage, excessive
heat, fire, or explosion.
• Do not attempt to modify or remanufacture the battery,
insert foreign objects into it, or immerse or expose it to
water or other liquids. Doing so may lead to fire,
explosion, or other hazards.
• Keep the battery away from excessive heat and direct
sunlight. Do not place it on or in heating devices, such
as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries
may explode if overheated.
• If the battery leaks, ensure that the electrolyte does not
make direct contact with your skins or eyes. If the
electrolyte touches your skins or splashes into your
eyes, immediately flush with clean water and consult a
doctor.

• In case of battery deformation, color change, or
overheating while charging or storing, immediately stop
using the device and remove the battery. Continued
use may lead to battery leakage, fire, or explosion.
• Do not put batteries in fire as they may explode.
Damaged batteries may also explode.
• Do not drop the device or battery. If the device or battery
is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and may be
damaged, take it to an authorized service center for
inspection.
• Improper battery use may lead to fire, explosion, or
other hazards.

• Do not use your device during thunderstorms to protect
your device against any danger caused by lightning.
• Observe local laws and regulations, and respect the

overheated device for an extended period, low
temperature burn symptoms, such as red spots and
darker pigmentation, may occur.
• If your device has a camera flash, do not use it directly in
the eyes of people or pets. Otherwise temporary loss of
vision or damage to the eyes may occur.

battery. Doing so may result in damage or explosion.
Protecting your hearing when using a headset
•
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at
high volume levels for long periods.

minimum distance of 15 cm be maintained between a
device and a pacemaker to prevent potential
interference with the pacemaker. If using a pacemaker,
hold the device on the side opposite the pacemaker
and do not carry the device in your front pocket.
• Some wireless devices may affect the performance of
hearing aids or pacemakers. Consult your service
provider for more information.
Areas with flammables and explosives
