A 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 in any liquid.
Do not place the handset alongside computer disks, credit cards, travel cards and other magnetic
media. The information contained on disks or cards may be affected by the handset.
Do not place anything in the folded handset. Do not paint the handset.
Do not leave the handset or the batteryin places where the temperature could exceed 60 °C, e.g. on
a car dashboard or a windowsill, behind glass in direct sunlight, etc.
Do not remove the handset’s 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 battery packs in a fire. The handset’s Li-ION batteries may be safely disposed of
at a Li-ION recycling point.
Do not put the handset’s battery in your mouth, as battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed. Do not attempt to dismantle the handset or any of its accessories.
This equipment is fitted with an internal battery that can only be replaced by a qualified service
engineer.
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect battery type. Dispose of the
used battery in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not put a battery into a microwave oven, dryer, or high-pressure container. Do not contact battery directly to an electric outlet or cigarette lighter charger. Use only authorized
charger units.
Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such as a needle. When the battery is thrown away, be sure it is non-conducting by applying vinyl tape to the (+) and
(-) terminals.

9
Stop using the battery if abnormal heat, odor, discoloration, deformation, or abnormal condition is
detected during use, charge, or storage.
In the unlikely event of a battery leak, take care to keep the battery discharge away from your eyes
or skin. If the leakage does come into contact with the eyes or skin, please flush thoroughly in clean
water and consult with a doctor.

except in an emergency.
Switch off your handset at a refueling point, such as a petrol station, even if you are not
