Before Using

Switch off in dangerous areas

Always switch your phone off in areas where explosive or 

dangerous materials (e.g. fuels or chemical products) are 

located and obey relevant instructions or signals. Do not insert 

or remove your mobile phone’s battery in such areas.

Install a hands-free device in a safe location

Install a hands-free device away from the steering wheel and 

airbag expansion areas. Otherwise you can be injured in a car 

accident.

Keep away from other electronic devices

Mobile phones emit electromagnetic waves that may affect 

nearby electronic devices. After switching on your phone, do 

not place it close to other electronic goods.

About the battery usage

Your phone is powered by a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. This 

type of battery typically has a longer lifespan than other types 

of batteries. However, it must be handled with care. Please read 

and follow these battery guidelines:

 x Do not use a damaged battery or charger.
 x Do not disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, 

or shred the battery.

 x Do not modify or remanufacture the battery, insert foreign 

objects into the battery, immerse or expose the battery 

to water or other liquids, or expose it to fire, explosions, or 

other hazard.

 x Dispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with 

local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning as 

they may explode. Do not use an unauthorized charger or 

battery.

 x Use the battery only for the device for which it is specified.
 x Use the battery with a charging device that has been 

qualified for the device. Use of an unqualified battery or 

charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or 

other hazard.

 x Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive 

objects to contact battery terminals.

 x Replace the battery only with another battery that has been 

qualified with the device per the IEEE-Std-1725-2006.

 x Children should not be allowed to handle the battery.
 x Avoid dropping the phone or the battery. If the phone or the 

battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and you 

suspect damage, take it to a service center for inspection.

 x Use your battery for its specified purpose only.
 x The battery recharging time varies depending on the 

remaining battery capacity and the battery and charger 

type.

 x Battery life inevitably shortens over time.
 x Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the 

phone from its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug 

the charger once charging is complete. Do not store the 

battery in exceedingly hot or cold places, such as inside 

a car in the summer or winter as doing so may reduce its 

capacity and life span.
