BEFORE USING Important Safety Information About battery usage Your phone is powered by a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. Therefore, you can recharge the battery while some charge remains without reducing your phone's autonomy. For safe use of the battery: xx Do not use a damaged battery or charger. xx Do not disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred the battery. xx Do not modify or remanufacture, insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard. xx Do not put your battery in contact with conductive objects. xx Promptly dispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning; they may explode. xx Do not use an unauthorized charger or battery. xx Use the battery only for the device for which it is specified. xx Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per CTIA Certification Requirements for Battery System Compliance to IEEE1725. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. xx Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard. xx Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals. xx Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the device per this standard, IEEEStd-1725. xx Children should be supervised when they use the battery. xx Avoid dropping the phone or the battery. If the phone or the battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection. xx Use your battery for the specified purpose only. xx The closer you move to your network's base station, the longer you can use your phone because less battery power is required for connection. xx The battery recharging time varies depending on the remaining battery capacity and the battery and charger type. xx Battery life inevitably shortens over time. xx Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the phone from its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the charger once charging is complete. Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer or winter, may reduce its capacity and life. xx To prevent injury or burns, ensure that no metal objects come into contact with the + and - terminals of the battery. 7
