Take extra precautions

Keep the battery or device dry and away from water or

any liquid as it may cause a short circuit.

Keep metal objects away so they don’t come in contact

with the battery or its connectors as it may lead to short

circuit during operation.

The phone should be only connected to products that

bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF

compliance program.

Do not use a battery that appears damaged, deformed,

or discolored, or the one that has any rust on its casing,

overheats, or emits a foul odor.

Always keep the battery out of the reach of babies and

small children, to avoid swallowing of the battery. Consult

the doctor immediately if the battery is swallowed.

Only use the battery with a charging system that has been

qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-

1725-2006. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may

present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

Replace the battery only with another battery that has

been qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-

Std-1725-2006. Use of an unqualified battery may present

a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or

battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and

the user suspects damage, take it to a service centre for

inspection.

If the battery leaks:

•

Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact

with skin or clothing. If already in contact, flush the

affected area immediately with clean water and seek

medical advice.

Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact

with eyes. If this occurs, DO NOT rub; rinse with clean

water immediately and seek medical advice.

Take extra precautions to keep a leaking battery away

from fire as there is a danger of ignition or explosion.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DIRECT SUNLIGHT

Keep this product away from excessive moisture and extreme

temperatures. Do not leave the product or its battery inside a vehicle

or in places where the temperature may exceed 60˚C (140˚F), such

as on a car dashboard, window sill, or behind a glass that is exposed

to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of

time. This may damage the product, overheat the battery, or pose a

risk to the vehicle.

PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS

CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or

headphones are used at high volume for prolonged periods of

time.

SAFETY IN AIRCRAFT

Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an

aircraft’s navigation system and its communications network, using

this device’s phone function on board an airplane is against the law

in most countries. If you want to use this device when on board an

aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to Airplane

Mode.

•

ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS

Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical

plants or where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially

explosive atmospheres such as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below

deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or chemical transfer or storage

facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such

as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such

areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or

even death.

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where

flammable materials exist, the product should be turned off and

the user should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas

could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even

death. Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points

such as service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to

observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots,

chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas

with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,

clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck on boats,

fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air

contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

ROAD SAFETY

Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services

with handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some

countries, using hands-free devices as an alternative is allowed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE

Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the

steel frame of a building).

•

Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources,

such as microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or

accessories that do not contain any metal.

Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may

violate your local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

•

INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS

This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use

of this device is forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the

manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately

shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to

assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations

are posted. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment

that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

HEARING AIDS

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In

the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service

provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.

NONIONIZING RADIATION

Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated

in its normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and

safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting

equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the

equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no

part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna

during operation of the equipment.

Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized

or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the

phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the

recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local

regulatory requirements in your country.

To assure optimal phone performance and

ensure human exposure to RF energy is

within the guidelines set forth in the relevant

standards, always use your device only in

its normal-use position. Contact with the

antenna area may impair call quality and

cause your device to operate at a higher

power level than needed. Avoiding contact

with the antenna area when the phone is IN

USE optimizes the antenna performance and

the battery life.

General Precautions

• Avoid applying excessive pressure to the device

Do not apply excessive pressure on the screen and the device

to prevent damaging them and remove the device from your

pants’ pocket before sitting down. It is also recommended that

you store the device in a protective case and only use the device

stylus or your finger when interacting with the touch screen.

Cracked display screens due to improper handling are not

covered by the warranty.

• Device getting warm after prolonged use

When using your device for prolonged periods of time, such

as when you’re talking on the phone, charging the battery or

browsing the web, the device may become warm. In most cases,

this condition is normal and therefore should not be interpreted

as a problem with the device.
