cause electric shock or fire.
2. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.
3. Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or nails, come into contact with the
battery. This could cause a fire.
4. Give instructions for children to use the battery carefully.
5. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as rubber plugs, earphone, connection
