9. Additional safety instructions
Local laws and regulations
Take into account possible special laws and regulations
that might apply to the place in which you use your
smartphone.
Volume
To prevent hearing impairment, make sure to keep the
volume of earphones to a responsible level.
Pacemakers
People carrying a pacemaker need to follow these
instructions:
* When the phone is switched on, always maintain
a distance of at least 15 cm from the pacemaker.
* Never carry the phone in a breast pocket.
* When making calls, hold the phone to your right
ear (opposite the pacemaker).
Hearing aid devices
Your phone may cause interference with certain
hearing aid devices. If this is the case, please contact
the manufacturer of the hearing device.
Precautions for using your battery and charger
The battery charge depends on the network you use,
the phone settings and the environment in which the
phone is used. The battery is generally good for over 2—
38
VALOR —Quick Start Guide
4 hours of calling time, whilst standby time usually lasts
from 24—72 hours.
Under no circumstance use a charger that is damaged
in any way.
When using the phone in the vicinity of a base—station
of a network, power usage will decrease. The battery
time in which a device can remain in standby made or
be operational for calling is strongly affected by the
strength of the signal of the mobile network.
Charging time depends on the remaining battery power,
the type of battery and the charger used for charging
the battery. A battery may be charged and discharged
hundreds of time, but it will become worn out over
time. Obtain a new battery as soon as you notice a
decrease in standby or calling times.
Unplug the charger when it is not being used. Do not
leave the smartphone attached to the charger for a
period exceeding 48 hours straight. Overcharging may
drastically decrease battery life. Even when unused, a
fully charged battery will slowly get depleted.
Do not put discarded batteries in fire. Dispose of
batteries according to local law. Do not dispose
batteries with the regular household waste.
In case your phone, battery or charger gets wet, do not
attempt to dry it in a heating device, such as a dryer or
39
VALOR — Quick Start Guide
a microwave oven. Doing so, may cause burn wounds
or lead to swelling or even explosion of the phone,
battery, charger, or the heating device used.
Contact your nearest service centre to get help when
your phone, battery or charger does not function
properly.
>Please note: MI hereby declares to repudiate all
responsibility for any direct or collateral damage that
results from failure to comply to one or more of the
instructions above or incorrectly executed procedures.
