1. or Your Safety
General Care
Your handset contains delicate electronic circuitry, magnets and battery systems. You
should treat it with care and give particular attention to the following points:
Do not allow the handset, battery or accessories to come into contact with liquids
or moisture at any time. Do not immerse it in any liquid.
Do not place the handset alongside computer disks, credit cards, travel cards or
other magnetic media. The information contained on the disks or cards may be
affected by the handset.
Do not place anything inside the folded handset.
Do not paint the handset.
Do not leave the handset or battery in places where the temperature could
exceed 140˚F, e.g. on a car dashboard or a windowsill, behind glass in direct
sunlight, etc.
Do not remove the handset battery while the handset is switched on.
Take care not to allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings to contact or
short circuit the battery terminals.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. The handset’s Li-ION batteries may be safely
disposed of at a Li-ION recycling point. Follow local requirements for recycling.
Do not put the handset’s battery in your mouth, as battery electrolytes may be
toxic if swallowed.
Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the
system per this standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a
risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.

Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact the
battery terminals.
Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
Do not put a battery into a microwave oven, dryer or high-pressure container.
Do not contact battery directly into an electric outlet or cigarette lighter charger.
Use only authorized chargers.
Do not puncture the battery with a sharp object such as a needle.
When the battery is disposed, be sure it is non-conducting by applying vinyl tape
to the (+) and (-) terminals.
Do not drop, throw, or subject the handset to rough treatment.
Stop using the battery if abnormal heat, odor, discoloration, deformation, or
abnormal condition is detected during use, charge or storage.
Do not use with a damaged or deformed battery.
Do not solder the battery directly.
Remove the battery whose life cycle has expired from equipment immediately.
The earpiece may become warm during normal use. Also, the handset itself
may become warm while the battery is being charged.
When a handset is in vibration mode, the vibration may cause the handset to
move.
Be careful not to place the handset near heat sources (such as a heater).
Use a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the handset. Do not use an ordinary dry
cloth or electrostatic cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these
could damage the casing.
Third party equipment: The use of third party equipment, cables, or accessories,
not made or authorized by ZTE, may invalidate the warranty of your phone and
also adversely affect the phone’s safety and operation.
Remember to make backup copies of all important data on your handset.
