Health and Safety Information       137

• 

Misuse or use of incompatible phones, batteries, and charging devices 

could result in damage to the equipment and a possible risk of fire, 
explosion, leakage, or other serious hazard.

• 

Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: it 

may require cooling or warming first.

• 

Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a car in summer or 

winter conditions, as you will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the 
battery. Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A phone with a 
hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully 
charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 
0 °C (32 °F).

• 

Do not place the phone in areas that may get very hot, such as on or near a 

cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator. 

• 

Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even though they will dry and appear 

to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety 
hazard. 

• 

Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when 

a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes a direct connection between the 
+ and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery), for example 
when you carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the 
terminals may damage the battery or the object causing the short-
circuiting.

• 

Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in contact with metal 

objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry. 

• 

Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the battery as 

this can cause an internal short-circuit, resulting in overheating.
