Safety Precautions
Handling the Phone, Battery and Charger
䢇Only use the battery and charger specified for the
phone. Failure to do so can result in damage to the
phone, electric shock or fire.
䢇Do not store or operate the phone or charger in hot,
damp, or dusty areas, which can damage electrical and
mechanical components. Avoid prolonged exposure to
temperatures below 5°C (41°F) or in excess of 35°C
(95°F).
䢇Do not drop, shake or throw the phone or charger.
Rough handling can damage internal circuit boards and
the battery pack.
䢇Do not use the phone in the vicinity of volatile gases.
Leave the area before using the phone. Failure to leave
the area can result in the risk of fire or an explosion.
䢇Do not disassemble or modify the phone, charger, or
battery. Incorrect modifications, reassembly, or
tampering may result in malfunction or personal injury.
Handling the Phone
䢇Do not use the phone while operating a vehicle.
䢇Observe local regulations for specialized areas
(hospital, aircraft, etc) when using the phone.
䢇Do not use the phone near electronic equipment prone
to interference. Radio frequency interference may
result in electronic equipment malfunction. The
following electronic equipment may be affected:
Hearing aids, pacemakers and other clinical electronic
devices, smoke detectors, automatic doors and other
automatically controlled devices.

Section 1A: Setting Up Service 7
䢇Keep all storage media (magnetic cards, floppy disks,
credit cards, etc.) away from the phone. Close contact
can erase or damage the storage media.
䢇Keep all sharp metal objects (pins, nails, hairpins etc.)
away from the phone handset. The handset earpiece
contains a strong magnet that can attract and hold metal
objects. To avoid personal injury, remove any objects
from the handset earpiece before using.
Handling the Battery
䢇Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. It may
explode. Check with local waste management codes for
disposal instructions.
䢇Do not force the battery pack into the phone. Improper
installation can cause malfunctions or damage the
battery pack. This may result in fire or personal injury.
䢇Use caution in handling batteries in order not to short
the battery on conductive materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery and/or conductor may
overheat and cause burns.
䢇If the battery becomes too hot while recharging, it
should be removed immediately from the charger.
䢇When clothes or skin are exposed to battery leakage,
rinse with clean water at once to prevent skin irritation.
䢇Do not use a cracked, leaking or odor-emitting battery
pack near an open flame or high temperatures.
䢇If a fully discharged battery is stored for a long period of
time, it may not be possible to recharge the battery.
䢇Observe local waste management codes for proper
battery disposal instructions.

immediately unplug the charger from the wall outlet to
prevent fire or electric shock.

charger from the wall outlet before cleaning.
