•Do not deform or open the battery. 
•Do not allow metal objects (such as keys in your pocket) to short circuit the battery contacts. 
•Avoid exposure to excessive heat (>60°C or140°F), moisture or caustic environments. You 
should only use Philips Authentic Accessories, as the use of any other accessories may 
damage your phone and will make all guarantees for your Philips phone null and void. Make 
sure damaged parts are replaced immediately by a qualified technician and that they are 
replaced with genuine Philips replacement parts. 

Studies have shown that speaking on the telephone while driving lowers your concentration, 
which can be dangerous. Adhere to the following guidelines: 
•Give your full attention to driving. Pull off the road and park before using the phone. 
•Respect the local regulations in countries where you drive and use your GSM phone. 
•If you want to use your phone in a vehicle, install the hands-free car kit which is designed for 
that purpose. 
•Ensure that your phone and car kit do not block any air bags or other security devices fitted 
in your car. 
The use of an alarm system to operate a vehicle's light or horn to indicate incoming phone 
calls is prohibited on public roads in some countries. Check local regulations. 

In hot weather or after prolonged exposure to the sun (e.g., behind a window or a windscreen), 
the temperature of your phone's casing might increase, especially when featuring a metallic 
finish. Be very careful in this case when picking up your phone and also avoid using it with an 
ambient temperature over40° C. 

Remember to observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of the packaging materials, 
exhausted batteries and old phone and please promote their recycling. Philips has marked 
the battery and packaging with standard symbols designed to promote the recycling and 
appropriate disposal of your eventual waste.
