Battery information
This product uses a Lithium Polymer battery. Do not use it in a 
humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or 
leave your product in or near a heat source, in a high 
temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave 
oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to 
temperatures over 60 °C (140 °F). Failure to follow these 
guidelines may cause the battery to leak acid, become hot, 
explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. Do not 
pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks 
and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse 
thoroughly with water and seek medical attention 
immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of 
the battery, charging will not occur at low (below 0 °C/32 °F) or 
high (over 45 °C/113 °F) temperatures.
The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after 
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The 
battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but 
it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times 
are noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use 

79Warnings and precautions
only Acer approved batteries, and recharge your battery only 
with Acer approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device 
when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery 
connected to the AC adapter, since overcharging may shorten 
its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its 
charge over time. If the battery is completely discharged, it 
may take a few minutes before the charging indicator appears 
on the display or before any calls can be made.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any 
charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can 
occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes 
direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals 
of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.) 
This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare 
battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals 
may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car 
in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and 
lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 
15 °C and 25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). A device with a hot or cold 
battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is 
fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in 
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. 
Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries 
according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible. 
Do not dispose as household waste.

80
Replacing the battery pack
Your smartphone uses lithium batteries. Replace the battery 
with the same type as that which came bundled with your 
product. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or 
explosion.
Warning! Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not 
disassemble or dispose of them in fire. Keep them away from 
children. Follow local regulations when disposing of used batteries.
Additional safety information
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. 
Keep them out of the reach of small children.

any questions. Switch off your device in health care facilities 
when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do 
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment 
that could be sensitive to external RF transmissions.
Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a 
minimum separation of 15.3 cm (6") be maintained between 
wireless devices and a pacemaker to avoid potential 
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are 
consistent with the independent research by and 
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons 
with pacemakers should do the following:
• Always keep the device more than 15.3 cm (6") from 
the pacemaker.
• Not carry the device near your pacemaker when the

France: Restricted wireless frequency bands
Some areas of France have a restricted frequency band. The 
worst case maximum authorized power indoors is:
• 10 mW for the entire 2.4 GHz band (2400 MHz - 2483.5 
MHz)
• 100 mW for frequencies between 2446.5 MHz and 
2483.5 MHz
Note: Channels 10 through 13 inclusive operate in the band 2446.6 
MHz to 2483.5 MHz.
There are few possibilities for outdoor use: On private 
property or on the private property of public persons, use is 
subject to a preliminary authorization procedure by the 
Ministry of Defense, with maximum authorized power of 100 
mW in the 2446.5 - 2483.5 MHz band. Use outdoors on public 
property is not permitted.
In the departments listed below, for the entire 2.4 GHz band:
• Maximum authorized power indoors is 100 mW
• Maximum authorized power outdoors is 10 mW
Departments in which the use of the 2400 - 2483.5 MHz band is 
permitted with an EIRP of less than 100 mW indoors and less 
than 10 mW outdoors:
01 Ain Orientales 02 Aisne 03 Allier
05 Hautes Alpes 08 Ardennes 09 Ariege
11 Aude 12 Aveyron 16 Charente
24 Dordogne 25 Doubs 26 Drome
32 Gers 36 Indre 37 Indre et Loire

This requirement is likely to change over time, allowing you to 
use your wireless LAN card in more areas within France. Please 
check with ART for the latest information (www.art-
telecom.fr).
Note: Your WLAN Card transmitts less than 100 mW, but more than 
10 mW.

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 
interference to radio communications. However, there is no 
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference 
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by 
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to 
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following 
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and 
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit 
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 
technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to 
operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or 
transmitter.
RF exposure information (SAR)
This mobile phone meets the government's requirements for 
exposure to radio waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the 
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set 
by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. 
Government. 
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a 
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, 
or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

90
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating 
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at 
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. 
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power 
level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be 
well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is 
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only 
the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer 
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the 
power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the 
FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.38 W/kg and when 
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is  
0.686 W/kg.
Important: Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, 
depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of 
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the 
government requirements.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this 
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in 
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR 
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and 
can be found under the Display Grant section of  
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 
HLZDME400.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and 
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with accessories 
that contain no metal and that position the handset a mini-
mum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may 
not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you 
do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the 

91Safety regulations
phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm 
from your body when the phone is switched on.
