Safety information
The following list shows how to maintain your mobile phone
and precautions to take as you use the device.
xKeep your mobile phone and its accessories out of the
reach of children and pets.
xMaintain your mobile phone in dry conditions and keep it
within normal operating temperatures. It may be damaged
at temperatures higher than 55°C/131°F or lower than
-20°C/-4°F.
xDo not dry your phone in a microwave oven. Sparks may
occur and cause an explosion or fire.
xDo not use or store your mobile phone in dusty, dirty areas.
xDo not disassemble your mobile phone.
xDo not drop or cause severe impact to your mobile phone.
xDo not clean your mobile phone with chemical products,
cleaning solvents or detergents.
xContact your dealer immediately if your mobile phone does
not work properly.
xUse only authorized batteries, battery chargers and
accessories. Any malfunction or damage caused by the
use of unauthorized batteries, battery chargers and
accessories will void the limited product warranty.
xEnsure that the battery and the battery charger do not
come in contact with conductive objects.
xFor optimal performance, use cases and accessories that
do not contain magnets.
Safety precautions
xUsing a mobile phone while driving is prohibited.
xUsing a mobile phone while driving can distract your
attention and cause an accident. Always switch your phone
off to drive safely.
xIn an emergency, use a hands-free device built into your car
or pull over in a safe place first.
xCheck local laws and regulations and comply with them,
with regard to the prohibition of mobile phone use while
driving.
Switch off in restricted areas
Always switch your phone off in areas where mobile phone use
is restricted.
Switch off in an aircraft
Always switch your phone off or select the airplane mode when
you are in an aircraft. Electromagnetic waves emitted by your
phone may affect the electronic navigation equipment in the
aircraft.
Switch off in hospitals and near medical
equipment
Always switch your phone off in hospitals and obey their
regulations. Switch your phone off when using medical
equipment for private purposes. Always consult with the
medical equipment’s manufacturer or an expert regarding
phone use near the medical equipment.

Before Using
Switch off in dangerous areas
Always switch your phone off in areas where explosive or
dangerous materials (e.g. fuels or chemical products) are
located and obey relevant instructions or signals. Do not insert
or remove your mobile phone’s battery in such areas.
Install a hands-free device in a safe location
Install a hands-free device away from the steering wheel and
airbag expansion areas. Otherwise you can be injured in a car
accident.
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 close to other electronic goods.
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 shred the 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 hazard.
xDispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning as
they may explode. Do not use an unauthorized charger or
battery.
xUse the battery only for the device for which it is specified.
xUse the battery with a charging device that has been
qualified for the device. Use of an unqualified battery or
charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or
other hazard.
xDo not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive
objects to contact battery terminals.
xReplace the battery only with another battery that has been
qualified with the device per the IEEE-Std-1725-2006.
xChildren should not be allowed to handle the battery.
xAvoid dropping the phone or the battery. If the phone or the
battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and you
suspect damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
xUse your battery for its specified purpose only.
xThe battery recharging time varies depending on the
remaining battery capacity and the battery and charger
type.
xBattery life inevitably shortens over time.
xSince overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the
phone from its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug
the charger once charging is complete. Do not store the
battery in exceedingly hot or cold places, such as inside
a car in the summer or winter as doing so may reduce its
capacity and life span.
