Important Safety Information
Turn off in dangerous areas
Always turn your phone off in areas where explosive or 
dangerous materials (e.g. fuels or chemical products) are 
located and obey relevant instructions or signs. Do not insert 
or remove your mobile phone’s battery in such areas.
Install a hands-free device in a safe location
Install a hands-free device away from the steering wheel and 
airbag expansion areas. Otherwise, a driver may be injured by 
the hands-free devices in a car accident.
Keep away from other electronic devices
Mobile phones emit electromagnetic waves that may affect 
nearby electronic devices. After turning on your phone, do not 
place it near other sensitive electronic goods.
About battery usage
Your phone is powered by a lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery. In 
other words, you can recharge your battery while some charge 
remains without reducing its effectiveness as a result of the 
“memory effect” inherent in other battery technologies. 
  Do not use a damaged battery or charger.
  Do not disassemble, open crush, bend, deform, puncture, 
or shred the battery.
  Do not modify, remanufacture, or insert foreign objects into 
the battery.
  Do not immerse or expose the battery to water or other 
liquids, fire, explosions, or other hazards.
  Do not put your battery in contact with conductive objects.
  Dispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with 
local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning; 
they may explode.
  Do not use an unauthorized charger or battery.
  Use the battery only for the device for which it is specified.
  Use the battery with a charging device that has been 
qualified for the device per this standard. Use of an 
unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, 
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
  Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metal conductive 
objects to come into contact with the battery terminals.
  Replace the battery only with another battery that has 
been qualified with the device per this standard, IEEE-
Std-1725-2006.
  Children should be supervised when they use the battery.
  Avoid dropping the phone or the battery. If the phone or 
the battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and 
the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for 
inspection.
  Use the battery for its specified purpose only.
  The closer you move to your network’s base station, the 
longer you can use your phone because less battery power 
is required for connection.
  The battery recharging time varies depending on remaining 
the battery capacity and the battery, and charger type.
  Battery life inevitably shortens over time.
  Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the 
phone from its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the 
charger once charging is complete. Leaving the battery 
in hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer or 
winter, may reduce its capacity and life.

  To prevent injury or burns, ensure that no metal objects 
come into contact with the + and – terminals of the battery.
