Use caution when installing a hands-free
device in your vehicle
Install hands-free devices in your vehicle with proper clearance from
the steering wheel and airbag area. Failure to do so may result in injuries.
Keep Away From Other Electronic Devices
Mobile phones emit electromagnetic waves that may affect nearby
electronic devices. After switching on your phone, do not place it near
other electronic devices.
About the Battery Usage
Your phone is powered by a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. This
type of battery typically has a longer lifespan than other types
of batteries. However, it must be handled with care. Please
read and follow these battery guidelines:
xDo not use a damaged battery or charger.
xDo not disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture
or break up a battery.
xDo not modify or remanufacture the battery, insert foreign
objects into the battery, immerse or expose the battery
to water or other liquids, or expose it to fire, explosions, or
other hazards.
xDo not use an unauthorized charger or battery.
xDo not put your battery into contact with conductive
objects.
xDispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning;
they may explode.
xDo not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive
objects to come into contact with battery terminals.
xReplace the battery only with another battery that has been
authorized for use with the device according to IEEE-
Std-1725-2006.
xUse of a non-standard battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage or other hazard.
xPromptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
xChildren should not be allowed to handle the battery.
xAvoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery
is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user
suspects damage, take it to a service center for checking.
xUse your battery for the specified purpose only.
xThe farther you are from a network’s base station, the
more battery power will be consumed to maintain the
connection.
xBattery recharging time varies depending on the remaining
battery capacity and the battery and charger type you use.

READ THIS FIRST
xBattery life inevitably shortens over time.
xOvercharging may shorten the battery’s life. Therefore,
remove the phone from its charger once it is fully charged
and unplug the charger. Avoid leaving the battery in hot
or cold places, such as inside a car in summer or winter, as
this may reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always
store the battery within normal operating temperatures.
