-26-
Battery care and safety
Keep the battery in a cool, ventilated place and out of
direct sunlight.
Although the battery is rechargeable, it’ll eventually start
to lose its ability to recharge. If you find that the battery
won’t recharge, it’s time to replace it.
Please don’t throw old batteries into your household
rubbish. You’ll find there are special bins for batteries at
refuse collection points. And some high street electrical
stores provide a battery recycling service too.
Never throw the battery into a fire – it’s highly inflammable
and could explode, hurting you or somebody else.
When you put the battery into your phone, there’s no need
to use force. Exerting too much pressure could make it
leak, overheat, explode or burst into flame.
Never take the battery apart. This may result in leakage,
overheating, explosion or fire.
If the battery becomes hot, changes colour or shape at
any time (when in use, charging or even while in storage)
please stop using it immediately and replace.
Keep the battery dry. Damp or wet conditions can cause it
to overheat or corrode.
Don’t leave the battery in direct sunlight or anywhere really
-27-
hot, like in a car on a summer’s day. That could make it leak
or overheat, while lowering its performance and shortening
its life.
Don’t charge the battery continuously for 24 hours.
Overcharging is not good for it.
Note: Please avoid contact with the materials inside a
damaged or leaking battery. If they get on your skin, wash
with lots of water and seek medical assistance if required.
-28-
Charger care and safety
Only plug into voltages between 110VAC and 220VAC.
Using a voltage outside that range can damage the
phone/charger – and cause the battery to leak or catch fire.
Never short-circuit the charger – this may cause
electrocution, overheating or damage.
Don’t charge the phone in direct sunlight or in an area
where it’s damp, dusty, or on a vibrating surface. And
charging your phone near – or on – a TV or radio could
interfere with transmission.
Don’t use the charger if the power cable is damaged. It
may cause a fire or give someone an electric shock.
Keep water well away from the charger. If the charger
does get splashed by water, or any other kind of liquid,
immediately unplug it to avoid overheating, fire or
electrocution.
Don’t take the charger apart. It could cause injury, give
you an electric shock or catch fire.
Never touch any charger, electric cable or socket with wet
hands.
Don’t place heavy objects on the electric cable.
If the cable is damaged, don’t try to mend it yourself – it
could cause a fire or electrocute you.
Always unplug the charger before you clean it.
When unplugging the charger, hold the plug itself, rather
than pulling on the cable. A damaged cable can cause
electrocution or fire.

Health and safety
4RF 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.
*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, described in this user guide, is
Position SAR(W/Kg)
Head 1.167W/Kg
Body 1.116W/Kg
-30-
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
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
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC
ID:Q78-V6020.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an
accessory that contains no metal and the positions the
handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position
the handset a minimum of 1.5cm from your body when the
phone is switched on.
This device is compliance with SAR for general population
/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and
had been tested in accordance with the measurement
methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65
Supplement C.
-31-
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or
TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this
equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and
can radiate 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.
-32-
- 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
